As far as mascara goes, I recommend Maybelline's '3XL' - most amazing mascara I've ever come upon!! It adds GREAT volume, and REALLY lifts to curl! Another good one I use, is Maybelline's 'Sky High Curves'!





And with eye liner: when it comes to liquid eye liner or pencil eye liner, it's just a personal preference as to which we use. Certain things suit certain people. However, if you ask... chances are that most people will tell you that pencil is a better choice for them. 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 is. Also, if you plan on carrying it around in a purse or pocket.. you risk the chance that the liquid may ruin [though I don't suggest carrying eye liner in your pocket]. If you DO mess it up, just take a tissue and slowly run it along the rim of your eye lid.. it'll come right up.


Now, the desired effect of eye liner is to create the illusion of darkness just above the lashline to enhance the look of the lashes. To apply it, gently hold your eye lid 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 top and bottom lid, getting as close to the lashes as possible. If it looks like there is a space between the liner and your lashes, then I guess you just have to thicken the line a bit. Or, if you'd rather have a very thin line, I guess you just have to try again. One last thing, make shore you draw the line all the way to the outside corner.


If you're still experiencing difficulties, don't get discourage. It will probably take some practice -- it took me a while at first too. Now, I have it down incredibly well!!


And as for products, I think the two best brands of eye liner 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". Good news though, it's 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 eye liner on the market!! 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'm sorrie for the long reply. I get too into these make up questions, but if you'd like further assistance, don't hesitate to ask! Goodluck! :D

BrunetteBeauti answered Tuesday August 2 2005, 11:00 am:
PRESTIGE is a really good eyeliner that you can find at cvs. its waterproof. i dont know about the mascara. i put eyeliner on my upper eyelid so my advice is buy a really soft eyeliner like prestige and put a thin layer (dont make it thick because then it looks really bad.) at the top and some on the bottom eyelid because if you only put it at the top it looks weird. liquid eyeliner isnt worth the hassle, i dont use it because i cant use it, i always mess up and if you do know how to use it you cant open your eyes until it dries otherwise it will smudge.

good luck
please rate
peace

Teza answered Tuesday August 2 2005, 12:18 am:
-I use Maybelline eyeliner && it works awesome. It stays on for a long time && it doesnt smuge.
-For mascara I have Lancome && its my favorite mascara ever! I have another one that is Maybelline && it works really good too. You dont really need any tips but just close your eyes and kind of make it tight. That but it like really close by your eye lashes so you cant really see that its on. Once you open your eyes you can tell you have it on. Honestlly I dont think liquid eyeliner is good. It gets messy && takes forever to dry && its not even waterproof.

Ooh., My expertise.

For eyeliner the best I've found is at Hot Topic, plus it's cheap [One ninety nine.

For putting eyeliner on your upperlid just
a)Shut your eye
b)press down by your eye and make yourslef look like, well, Japanese.
c)do it close to the lash-line.

Ehh. Yeah.

dasweetness2603 answered Sunday July 31 2005, 7:04 pm:
Hey sup?? For most of my make up I use "Clinique." I think that they have really good black eyeliners but there not water proof though. They also have a really good mascara called Dramatic Eyes.. it comes in a dark green case, it really does work wonders.lol. Now going to the application of eye liner.
Step 1. Focus on a certain spot on the mirror
Step 2. gently write on your eyelids focusing on the space closest to your lashes.
Step 3. Rewrite it a little darker once you've aprroved of the light copy.
Idk if that made sense but i hope so.lol.
I wouldn't even bother w. liquid eyeliner because its way too messy.
Good luck and I hope everything goes well. Xo.

the best kind of eyeliner is the middle eastern one that u buy from foreign stores called KAJOL or HASHMI SURMA. it works real well, its waterproof and lasts forever. revlon liquid eyeliner is also great. when you apply liquid liner on the top lid, at first i had to put my elbow on the table to keep my hand still enough to put it on and after a while I got use to it and now I put it on in just a few seconds perfectly.
