Best eyeliner for tightlining?

[Lndnmummy]

Just that really, what do you use to tightline? Have used a gel pencil from trish mcevoy but it doesnt stay put enough. I dont mind paying a paying a premium if it works though.

What do you use? And what brushes if you dont use a pen form. Please share x

Yes I'd like to know too! I've bought one pencil which didn't stay on, and one that you put on with a brush which is great, but leaves a line on my bottom lid itms?

I'm using this:

Benefit They're real liner

I don't like it as an eyeliner but find it good as tightliner.

L'oreal one.. It's a soft pencil

I'm using benefits 'They're real' liner as well. I'm enjoying it actually.

Laura Mercier with a Nars angled eyeliner brush. After years of never being able to get the hang of eyeliner, I can finally get a nice close and even line that stays put.

Bourjois intuitive liner - I find it very easy, and I'm cackhanded to say the least.

Thank you all, keep them coming ;)

I've got the Clarins 3-dot liner pen. It's the only liner I've ever had that gives a good result on me. Just as well I'm not a surgeon...

What's tightlining? If you don't mind me asking?

After asking a similar question on MN, I now use the Laura Mercia tighliner cake with the MAC flat brush (272 I beleive) and it's absolutely amazing!

Takes me seconds to do my top lash line, make sure there's plenty of pigment on the brush, then dab it lightly on a tissue to remove excess moisture before applying and it stays put all day.

Also, I found that it's easier to apply if I don't pull my eyelid, I just tilt my head back slightly in front of the bathroom mirror.

Arthur, essentially tighlining is lining the lash line itself from below, it gives softer, more flattering definition - if you google it you'll find lots of info.

I'm going to google, I've not heard of this, thank you.

Mymemy do you use the activator with the LM cake?

What's tightlining?

Oops. Crosspost

I always end up with big globs of eyeliner in the corner of my eyes if I tight line.

estee lauder doublewear pencil

Bare minerals round the clock waterproof eyeliner

in the 80's i used to use the local 40pence pencil to do a fantastic job of tight lining. Gave it up when I started wearing contact lenses

No, I don't use the activator, it works brilliantly with water alone.

I've tried tightlinging with pencils, but the Laura Mercier cake gives a much better finish. I have the brown and the blue, you can't really tell it's blue but the colour works really well with brown eyes.

I cant recommend it highly enough!

I use old fashioned liquid liner. At the moment I have a Collection 2000 one in brown. I lift the lid up and put it within the lashes. if you don't get close enough you will get black blobs on your year ducts (easily sorted though). I tight line my top lids daily. For evening I add some over the top of the lashes. I still stay really close.

lovely.

I played around with some pencils and if I don't go near my tear ducts it stops being gloopy but sometimes smudges onto my inner water line on the bottom SO I've just treated myself to a waterproof L'oreal liquid felt tip pen type liner called Infallible and it looks FANTASTIC

So much more youthful than the liner I usually wear on the top of my lids. Can't wait for a night out wear I can wear top lines AND tightlining, I think that will look great.

I have very black lashes but I might experiment with a dark brown liner and compare the two looks.

It's lasted all afternoon,it's my new favourite product!

Damedrama,Oh really? Even tighline lasted? No smudging or on waterline? So tempted by LM but then would need the brush too so loreal would be more purse friendly.

Is it pigmented enough? I have the clarins 3 dot thingy and whilst id give it 10/10 or for ease of application the result is abit meh for me.
Also tempted by benefit push up liner bit have heard mixed reviews.

Im such a geek when it comes to these things, love hearing everyones thoughts.

Damedrama, could you link to loreal one pls? Seems to be several versions?
