Default eyeliner suggestions :]

The eyeliner i use (and love) is really expensive.. the bottle i have is reaching its death (getting clumpy, and well gross). I use liquid liner- if t hat wasnt apparent haha.

What kind of eyeliner do you use? Why do you love it? I do not like pencil or th e soft pencils. . ive tried them, im a master at liquid and you'll probably be hard pressed to convince me to try something else.. but i'm willing to listen LOL

Also note..I like bold

this is what i use http://www.gabrielcosmeticsinc.com/i...1&ParentCat=12 it's 15 bucks a bottle though. no bueno.

My new favorite is What a Line by mark. It's liquid, but it's like using a felt tip pen, imo.

It's $9.00 and works really well. Long lasting, too. http://shop.meetmark.com/shop/produc...=41081&level=4

My other favorites are...

Get In Line Waterproof ($6.00): http://shop.meetmark.com/shop/produc...rep_delivery=1 (I take this one on vacation- it's sweat and swim proof)

and

On the Edge ($6.00): http://shop.meetmark.com/shop/produc...rep_delivery=1

These have a cap on them that, with purchase of a lip gloss or other "hook up" item, you can get a connector and connect two items together-- 2 items hooked up is about the length of a standard writing pen.

I use Smashbox cream eyeliner (lava is my fave color) and swear by it. It's the only liner I've ever used that doesn't fade or smudge during the day. It is kind of pricey ($22) and you need the brush to go with it, but it lasts forever. HERE is a link to the description on the Smashbox site.

I would get a jar of Bare Escentuals/Bare Minerals and one of their eye liner brushes. You can use it dry OR wet and that jar will last you 5 millions years.

This is what I was planning, but don't have any yet. Just had them show me how to use it last weekend, but after buying a new starter set, a travel set and blush, I thought I had spent enough. There are some similar ones on etsy that are much cheaper though.

yup, this is my way. i have black, two different purples, and a foresty-green-grey color. and i got their weather everything, which turns any powder pigment shadow they have into liquid liner. (:

It can be kind of smoky if you smudge it before it dries. It depends on whether you use just the tip of the flat eyeliner brush, or the edge. When I want to smoke it up, I use the cream eyeliner and then brush on waterproof shadow liner over the top.

Creme and Gel liners both can give you a smokey technique.

The mark. ones are great. I will disclose I do sell mark., but only because I really do believe in their products, and I wouldn't recommend something to you if I didn't totally love it. There are some products of theirs I don't recommend, but their liners just happen to be must-haves for me.

I used to use L'oreal's HIP Creme liner, which worked well for me, but it also got pricey (Last time I purchased it, it was $11).
