Not sure where you're based Ruby, but the best makeups I've ever had have been at the MAC counter in Selfridges at the Trafford Centre. It's £25 redeemable against purchases and the girls/blokes are lovely Very Happy

Fab, thanks Circe - I am in Bristol but there is a MAC counter in House of Fraser so I will give it a go!

eye liner that NEVER moves...I use Babe Cakes by Benefit, but instead of mixing it with water, use their She-Laq fixer...I have heavy upper eyelids so any other liner smears very badly very quickly.......it DOES NOT BUDGE...even if you've been very unladylike and bopped around in a sweaty mosh pit! Their angled brush is worth getting too, esp if you have a less than steady hand!

Am living in Bristol, but would def be up for a lesson next time I'm up in London - how many of your British gold pounds would it be please Miss Rose?

I recently discovered the amazing MAC fluid line eyeliner. It dries quickly, comes in a little pot and lasts a long time because you only use a small amount of it. Also it comes in lots of wonderful colours like 'Blitz & Glitz', it's a glittery black eyeliner. But it needs a steady hand and time to get it right so it's not to be rushed with.

One way of keeping hands steady is to actually keep your elbow of the hand drawing the eyeliner as close to your chest and possible - it helps steady the rest of your hand.

I've been using Boots 17 for years but at the end of a day at work its starting to disappear. Gonna treat myself to some Lancome L'Extreme mascara next time I have a bit of spare cash so maybe will get some eyeliner too. Cool

Thanks for starting this thread Smile

I find the Chanel one very good. Last week I spent the whole night in the pouring rain lambing and when I got home everything had gone, including my natural colour even, but the eyeliner was still in place. It may not be a glamorous way to try things out, but it sure got put through its paces! I wouldn't like to say how impressed the lambs were though.

Ooh a word of warning...

I use the Boujoir Clubbing eyeliner in Ultimate Black but thought I'd try the lovely blue one last weekend. DO NOT USE!!!! I put it on nearly as thickly as Miss Winehouse and even after scrubbing at it with expensive make up remover it still stained my eyelids for a couple of days.

Very strange indeed.

Chanel with a brush not the pen in black for evening, Urban Decay in a multitude of colours and Bourjois clubbing in dark grey by day. Also tried GOSH range at Superdrug but that seems to be waterproof. Lovely colours though.
