Long lasting smudge proof eye makeup

[glutoftoms]

Currently using Charlotte Tilbury brown shadows, Stila gel liner, BB corrector and Clinique tubing mascara. I look fine straight after but when I look in the mirror at lunchtime the only thing left is my mascara. All the eyeshadow has gone and the liner has left me with panda eyes. My black circles look like bruises.

I'm a contact lens wearer and do rub my eyes too much. Are there any wonder products out there or is it down to poor application?

Hi glutoftoms (love the name!) I'd recommend clinique quickliner as eyeliner, both the 'standard' one and quickliner intense-they are budgeproof. Also, Boots no7 'stay perfect liner is very good and probably around half the price. I think you'll find that a good eyelid primer will also help and the best I've found is the one by bare minerals but I think that benefit also do a good one...I'll be reading any other suggestions with interest as I have very oily eyelids and am always on the lookout for products that'll last

Thanks Blue, I thought that the face primer (Laura Mercier) would do but I think I'll invest in a lid primer too. Good tips re the Clinique liners.
