Lets Talk Eyeliners

I've tried many eyeliners and have concluded that I absolutely love liquid eyeliner. For me, pencil just wasn't giving me the darker dramatic look that I wanted. It took me a while to get the handle on free handing liquid eyeliner but I figured out that if I place the palm of my hand on my face while applying my eyeliner then my hand would not be as shaky. Another thing that I have to mention is that the line for eyeliner must cover from beginning to end or else it looks incomplete.

A little example of  a good eyeliner line that I found from google images:

Eyeliners are another thing that does not have to be expensive. I was in the mall one day and a sales lady at MAC tried to convince me that their liquid eyeliner was amazing, so I bought it thinking, "Why not? It could be amazing."  I tried it and the minute that any kind of moisture hit it I had black smeared in the creases of my eyelids and on the side of my eyes. UGH, I spent $17.50 for 2.5 ml of mess. I know that I could have purchased waterproof but honestly I hate how waterproof make-up is almost impossible to take off. I was curious about Maybeline's Stiletto ultimate precision liquid eyeliner. I purchased the one called 'Blackest Black' because I love eyeliner that has a shine to it. LOVE the eyeliner, not only does it last but it does not smear and I can get the line that I am looking for.

Here's an example of my eyeliner after an entire day of running around with an infant and doing chores (please excuse my eyebrows, I am growing them out):

Flexible felt tip that won't fray with use



THE BEST PART: It costs about $5.90 depending on where you purchase it for a 1.5 ml bottle. It has lasted me a long time and they come in three different shades, brownish black, black and blackest black.
