I wore the featured eyeliner from last Monday's post again today for over eight hours and it stayed in place all day, I am quite impressed with it. Like I've mentioned before, I am taking it slow with the drugstore makeup but, I am definitely open to new ideas. Finding a good eyeliner for only $3.12 is nice but, I still love my faithful staples and I wanted to share them with you in case you would like to try them.
The very first eye kohl pencils that I've ever used are by M.A.C in Teddy (a deep metallic brown or bronze), Blooz (shimmery blue), and Smolder (Intense Black). The eye kohls are $14.50 and are very easy to apply, easy to smudge and longwearing. I like to use Teddy to line my waterline in place of a black eyeliner for a softer, less dramatic look. When I want more intensity and for smokey looks, I use smolder because the pigmentation is great, true black.
My go to eyeliner for brides is the Powerpoint eye pencil by M.A.C because it is waterproof and longwearing. My favorites are Stubborn Brown (deep brown) and Engraved (Jet Black). These eye pencils are $14.50 and come in shimmer and matte finishes.
Another great longwearing and waterproof eye pencil is the 24/7 Glide-On eye pencil by Urban Decay. This is the creamiest waterproof eyeliner I have ever used. It only takes thirty seconds for this eyeliner to set and once it's dry, it doesn't budge. The 24/7 eye pencil is $17.00.
The best duplicate for the eyeliner kajals used by indian women, (to recreate intense lines like the beautiful bride's pictured above) that I've found so far, is an eyeliner kajal by Stila. This pencil is so creamy that I often use a small angle brush to apply it. I love the pigmentation, it's so rich and it's very easy to apply and smudge. Stila's eyeliner kajal is $18.00.
This is definitely not a comprehensive list, there are others that I use, like the Artist's Pencils by Estee Lauder. There are many others that I would like to try like the DoubleWear Stay-In-Place eye pencil by Estee Lauder, and when I do, I'll share a review with you (hey that rhymes ;D ).
What are your favorites?
