Talk to me about eyeliner

[jessica31876]

I love the Almay collection made for your eye color. I use liquid liner in copper or something like that? I have blue-green eyes. I wear mostly browns, pinks and greens. I also wear brown mascara. I like to wear makeup too but found as I got older it causes me to break-out more. Like around my nose and chin especially.

oh I also do sometimes use eye shadow instead of eyeliner. Depends on what Im in the mood for. The secret to not looking like a raccoon I think is to avoid black eyeliner but if you do use black dont cake it on (kinda draw a small amount and then blend it in a little) and only put it about 1/3 to 1/2 way in on the bottom. If you go to the Almay site they have lots of tips on makeup. One other thing is makeup does expire. You need to make sure to replace it and that keeps it looking fresh also.

I like Clinique products a lot - especially this one (I have green eyes and like the color "dark chocolate", but there are lots of nice ones).

They have a special promo going on today only- no minimum purchase, free shipping and a free mascara/lip gloss duo. Use the code "makeup". If you sign up for the "club" during checkout (give them an email). You get to choose an extra free sample.

I totally get what you mean! I used to feel the same way about black eyeliner—it can be a little harsh, especially if you're not wearing much else on your face. If you're looking for something softer and more natural, I’d recommend trying a brown or bronze eyeliner instead. They add definition without being too intense, and they’re perfect for a more everyday look.

As for brands, I’ve had great luck with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil—it goes on super smooth and lasts all day. The shade “Whiskey” is a really pretty rich brown. If you’re looking for a drugstore option, NYX Epic Wear Liner Stick or Maybelline TattooStudio Gel Pencil are also really good!

And if you’re still unsure, try smudging the liner a bit with a brush or your finger—it gives a softer, more diffused look that’s less raccoon-y
