Makeup Junkies skinny on eyeliner!

Hello ladies, ......oh Lord, that sounds like a really back pick-up line!  Anyway, let's get the low down, the skinny, the in's and the outs of different eye liner formulas shall we?

First is the ever so popular "Pencil", if you use a good creamy type pencil eye liner, they will easily glide across your skin without skipping or dragging your ever so delicate skin.  I use MAC's Kohl pencil is "Smolder"...this is not a waterproof product, so keep that in mind! *Warm your pencil by drawing them across the back of your hand before application*

The ever so intimidating "Liquid Liner" takes a lot of practice to master, but is worth it when you do.  It's staying power is great and can give you a very precise, very clean line....great for the winged eye look!  Again, I use either NYX Studio Liquid Liner, or MAC's Penultimate Liquid Liner, it's like a felt tip pen!

The great "Creams and Gel Liners" are some of my favorites.  If applied with the right brush, can give you the same effect as a liquid liner, but again, steady hand and a lot of practice will master this craft.  You can use a flat square brush, or a pointed tip brush, whichever you feel the most comfortable using.  I adore MAC's Fluidline in Blacktracks and brush #209!


And just wanted to throw in this little jewel...
