I'm getting semi permanent eyeliner next week

I'm booked in for semipermanent eyeliner next week and I'm worried I'll get it and it will look terrible....anyone had it before that can reassure me (or scare me off?)

The word is that the Middletons all have it. If that doesn't scare you off then nothing else will. It looks a bloody mess.

I would love to be brave enough but I'm to much of a wimp, as long as it's done well it should be great. Have you had a personal recommendation or checked out the salon properly Smile

caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 21:52

the Middletons? boo! will it make my face all simper-y and a bit vacuous?

I bought it on groupon a whim... I'm starting to have a panic that I'm going to look like Michael Jackson....

My SIL has it and it looks really good. You can choose how heavy to have it and where, so just like normal eye pencil but no need to put it on everyday Wink

StopSquabbling · 24/01/2014 21:54

We only know about the bad ones - ie Middletons.

I bet loads have it and it looks great.

caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 22:02

I can't stop googling pictures of Kate Middleton and zooming in on her eyes. Is this acceptable behaviour? Confused

Check out the mother! So harsh.

caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 22:08

do you think all 3 of them have a big communal wardrobe that they share?

OP posts:
Onesleeptillwembley · 24/01/2014 22:13

Oh yes, and one common interest - self promotion. Can you tell I'm not keen?

bebopanddoowop · 24/01/2014 22:22

Ooh I'd love to do this! What look are you gonna get?

sassytheFIRST · 24/01/2014 22:26

Aren't you worried that the beautician might sneeze.

sassytheFIRST · 24/01/2014 22:26

Supposed to be a qu mark there...

caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 22:29

self promotion and marrying for money and status? can you tell I'm not a fan either? Shock did you ever read any of Pippa's waitrose articles? What utter twaddle!

OP posts:
caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 22:33

bebop, I was thinking moderately thick black with small flicks at the end, which is more or less what I attempt to scrawl on my face every morning! I can never get both eyes to match though. I hope the beautician doesn't have the same problem....

what if she gives me an Amy winehouse look?

sassy...with then sneezing I'd be more concerns about the germs... do you know how far saliva can be propelled through sneezing? Grin

Caramel - look at the royal gossip forum. It's hilarious.

Nerfmother · 24/01/2014 22:43

No way! Really? The middletons?

TootlesPootles · 24/01/2014 22:46

I would go for a more subtle look. Might it look harsh having 'thick' eyeliner when you are not wearing any other makeup.
Also, is it possible to go for dark grey rather than black.

caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 22:50

NO.WAY. there is a royal forum? I'm a bit of an anarchist. I don't much like the monarchy. Is it true that prince Charles has someone hired specifically to put his shoes on? Shock

OP posts:
caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 22:51

I wear quite a lot of eyeliner normally Tootles, I am very rarely seen without it! I have small piggy eyes you see. I didn't realise you could get dark grey... I like the sound of that!

OP posts:
Onesleeptillwembley · 24/01/2014 22:55

I don't know - I just read what they think of Kate and her family on there. Most of it is slanderously fantastic.

GreenRedBlueYellowPurple · 24/01/2014 22:59

Last thing I heard everyone loved Kate Middleton... What did I miss ?!?!

Onesleeptillwembley · 24/01/2014 23:06

I've never met anyone who likes her or her family.

ophiotaurus · 24/01/2014 23:17

If you put eyeshadow on does it cover it? This may be a silly question...

caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 23:37

I must see this forum....where can I find it? I must start some rumours....

OP posts:
caramelchaos · 24/01/2014 23:39

I thought everyone likes the Middletons too.... I have found a kindred spirit!

ophio... I have assumed that it just looks like normal eyeliner so I suppose it wouldn't totally cover it. I might have to invest in some medical grade concealer if it all goes tits up!
