I'm typically known for my pretty steady hand, especially in the make-up department. I used to line my lips with the best of them and learned a lot from having a sister six-years my elder. But this whole liquid eyeliner thing has really challenged my skills. For a while, I thought the trend was going to go away and I could go back to the smoldering eyeliner look (which is still ok) but I envy that beautiful, clean look of the liquid eye, and that fun little flip you can add to the end on special occasions (gives you that pinup look of Marilyn Monroe or Angeline Jolie).So, I've tried all different kinds - mostly the cheap ones cause I just couldn't commit, but now I'm truly walking the line per the recommendation from my sister-in-law of Lancome's Artliner. It has a tiny little foam tip that just rolls across my eyes and gives me what I've been looking for!!! It's not cheap ($28) but it's gonna last me a long time (and I got a Sephora gift card for Christmas). If you're looking for the perfect liquid eyeliner, I would definitely give this a go!

Thanks for the tip! I am definitely going to have to check out this eye liner!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!! I remember liquid eyeliner 40+ years ago. It was the hardest thing to do and that was all we had!!! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy following your blog and am looking forward to seeing more of it in 2009!

I walked around sephora for an hour one day trying to find the best liquid eyeliner. I like the foam brush but some put out too much liquid...I ended up leaving empty handed. My next stop was Victoria Secret...and you wouldn't believe what I found! The most perfect foam tipped liquid eyeliner...for $12!!!! I haven't looked back. Go give it a try on your hand in the store!
ReplyDeleteThe quote made me feel bad. Today for the first time ever, I went to the bank without fixing my hair or putting on makeup. I didn't even put my bra on (I just put my coat on) I was even tempted to keep my slippers on...but I didn't go that far. I am glad I didn't have my date with destiny ...or maybe I did and destiny looked the other way because of how I was dressed!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

One of my 2009 resolutions is to always at least put on mascara and lipstick every morning. When I don't, bad things happen: I see an ex-boyfriend I haven't seen in years, somebody asks me to do publicity for a project, etc. And I love your idea to pick a theme song for 2009! It's like a mission statement you can sing -- perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've been toying with the idea of trying liquid and I love Lancome...so I'll give it a try.
