Thread: A good liquid eyeliner?

Hi All,

I've been using the same eyeliner now for a good couple of years but I've noticed its become very thin and is not very fluent in application.

Has anyone got any reccomendations for a good strong liquid eyeliner, that are purse-friendly?

Thanks
xxxx

I still love cheap old Rimmel's liquid eyeliner - the one with the long brush not the felt-tip one. It doesn't go flakey, smudgey or thin and is really easy to remove.

snap!! Its in cone shaped black packaging and works wonders! I went to a vintage hair and make up class recently and thats what they reccomended too! Most of my frieds use it as other similar priced brands just seem to flake off! xx

I have to agree, I've nearly always used Rimmel and found it stays put and doesn't flake. I did try out Collection 2000's liquid eyeliner and to be honest it as awful, flaked like nobodies business. I'm currently trying out the No 7 black liner pen, its ok but the application is not thick enough. I have heard that the Mac one is very good, I think I will try that one next, but I usually end up going back to good old Rimmel.

oh! a friend of mine tried mac gel liner (kind of like cake liner, in a pot) and shes not impressed...shes back on the rimmel!!! i used to ue bourjois but they stopped making the one i liked!

Me thinks I'll stick with good old Rimmell :yes:

I use Rimmel all the time! However i dont use the brush on, i prefer the "spongy thingy"

Rimmel tends to make my eyes sore, so I use Ruby and Millie's i-writer in black. It's like a pen with a brush at the end. It goes on beautifully.
If you spend over a certain amount in Boots atm you get a £5 off voucher for Ruby and Millie or No7. The i-writer is £10 normally!

I use the Body Shop liquid eyeliner and love it because the brush is quite thin so I can build up easily, doesn't flake either although, from reading this I am definitely trying Rimmel when it runs out!

A few years ago-(in the days when I was working and could afford such decadent luxuries!) I bought a limited edition Guerlin eyeliner kit with six different eyeshadows, brushes and a little bowl for water-you wet the brush and use the different shadows as eyeliners. :love:

Its amazingly lovely, but if you invested in a good brush you could acheive the same effect. For example a slant edged brush used wet or dry can create a lovely line :yes: and you could make the line whatever colour you wanted....
