I like ones with a brush wand - easier to appy and nicer line than felt tip IMO.

Although I am very keen on eyeshadow applied with a damp brush to create eyeliner -not as bold as liqiud eyeliner but it gives a beautiful soft effect.

Body shop do a good one.

Camillathechicken · 27/11/2007 18:53

proportion of glitter to liquid is very important

bit of shimmer as opposed to glitter is totally different texture

ooh oooh I just happened to buy two liquid eyeliners today

rimmel extreme in black and dark brown

also have the body shop one

I think swoooshability is crucial

and staying power

RubySlippers · 27/11/2007 18:56

what about adding something about the brush - makes a difference to the way the liner goes on

or is that covered with swooshability?

TheAnticodCod · 27/11/2007 18:58

oh yes

a very good term swooshing

brimfull · 27/11/2007 18:58

Camillathechicken · 27/11/2007 19:02

RubySlippers · 27/11/2007 19:03

yes - but i cannot be a traitor to my urban decay green liner

Whooosh · 27/11/2007 19:04

Been using it for years and definitely very important to have "swooshability"-brush way better than fibre tip.

Another essential to go with any said eyeliner is cotton bud-just to get that perfect line.

cremolafoam · 27/11/2007 19:07

what was the final result of the body lotion then?

artichokes · 27/11/2007 19:13

Clarins liquid eyeliner - black

value ofr money 3/10
swooshability(application) 5/10 (quite a tricky thin brush - not swooshable but very precise)
finish 10/10 (if you like a retro look smooth black line that is very defined. If you are going for subtle then this would be a 0)
durability 10/10
range of colours (not sure, I just have black)
