LiLReBeL6907 answered Friday June 3 2005, 12:43 am: This happens because the eyeliner you are using is not waterproof and is not made to last for long periods of time. When hours pass, oil builds on the skin causing your eyeliner to literally slide and it gets into your eyes because of this. It also smudges making your makeup look overdone. Another reason why your eyeliner is getting into your eye is because you might be over doing it a little, or putting it too close to the center of your eyes, so when your eyes naturally water when they become dry during the day, the eyeliner globs where the tear ducts are. So try using an eyeliner that goes on smooth, that is waterproof, and is guaranteed to last longer than 16 hours. I would try Revlon Timeliner for Eyes, or Prestige (both you can buy at most drugstores). And don't apply alot near the center of your eyes. When you rim the underpart of your bottom lid, thin it out making it thick at the corner and thinning it so it stops before it even gets to the center of your eye. That way it will stop it from globbing. Hope this helps. ~Sherah [ LiLReBeL6907's advice column | Ask LiLReBeL6907 A Question ]

Personally, I like Mary Kate & Ashley eyeliner from Wal-Mart..haha. It just works for me. [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]

HoweveR, if you ask... chances aRe that most people will tell you that pencil is a betteR choice. It's a gReat staRt foR a beginneR who is just getting used to it. If you mess up, pencil is A WHOLE LOT easieR to clean up and Re-do than liquid would be. And if you plan on caRRying it aRound in a puRse oR pocket.. you also face a chance that the liquid may Ruin [though I don't suggest caRRying eyelineR in youR pocket]. And if you do mess it up, just take a tissue and slowly Run it along the Rim of youR eyelid.. it'll come Right up. Now, the desiRed effect of eyelineR is to cReate the illusion of daRkness just above the lashline to enhance the look of the lashes. To apply it, gently hold youR eyelid down, and staRt at the inneR paRt of the lid [closest to youR nose]. Then just simply dRaw a thin line smoothly and evenly along the uppeR lid, getting as close to the lashes as possible. Also, make shoRe you dRaw the line all the way to the outside coRneR. It will pRobably take some pRactice -- it took me a while at fiRst too... now I have it down incRedibly well. And now foR the pRoducts... peRsonally, I think the two best bRands of eyelineR out theRe aRe "MeRyl NoRman" and "Beautique". "MeRyl NoRman", which can only be puRchased at "The MeRyl NoRman Cosmetic Studios", is pRicey [typically $8.50 - $15.00], but it REALLY IS good stuff. It goes on wondeRfully, and stays on all day!!! On the otheR hand... I happen to think that "Beautique" is INCREDIBLE, howeveR, I've ONLY seen "Beautique" at "Sally's". And "Beautique" is only .99 cents. TRUST ME.. I would NEVER EVER EVER buy cRap make up!!! I get only the best, so please, please, please, please DON'T let this dollaR pRice thRow you off - you'd be cheating youRself out of the best pRoduct out theRe!! I'd *PREFER* "Beautique" out of ANY otheR bRand of eyelineR!! I could easily go out and buy a $15.00 pencil, but I'd RATHER get "Beautique"! "Beautique" glides on smoothly and REALLY LASTS ALLLLL DAY!!! I CAN NOT pRomote this item enough!! And if you still have doubts... foR only .99 cents.. it's woRth a shot!! I hope I helped!!
