total bag of.

Don't like the felt tip ones as much as the fine brushy ones that come in inkwells. The fine brush ones you can put on with a real flourish.

Mind you, it takes ages to perfect, I walked round for years looking a bit like Barbara Cartland left out in the rain. Was determined not to be beaten though and now feel naked without my liquid eyeliner.

After using Rimmel (which I now realise in retrospect was crap) I now use Boots No 7 which I think is about £8.

vfm 8/10 - is reasonable cheap.

application 10/10 easy peasy (she says now)

finish 8/10 a little watery - a rich black

durability 8/10 - last most of the day and stays put in the rain, even though is not waterproof as such.

range of colours 5/10 - think it only comes in black, but can't be sure

For coloured ones I used Tesco Make Up - has more of a felt tippy nib but goes on very easily and feels very expensive. Think they are £4

vfm 10/10 - cheap

application 6/10 very easy and smooth but marks deducted because brush could be finer

finish 8/10 smooth, shimmery looking

durability 7/10 could be better

range of colours 9/10 - three lovely colours, they are satiny finish. One pewter coloir, one teal and one a violety burgundy. Great colours and all 3 are very flattering.

kittylouise · 29/11/2007 13:14

I am going to copy Slug and buy all the No 7 coloured eyeliners.

Don't pull the corner of your eye to taughten the eyelid to apply, when you let it go the line will be all feathered and wonky. Or is it me and my baggy eyelids (why would I have baggy eyelids at my age)

womblingalong · 29/11/2007 13:24

No 7 Stay Perfect duo eyeliner in metallic green

Value for money 9/10 mine was free but No & usually GVFM
swooshability 7/10. Nice long brush, but a bit too thin for best flick IYKWIM
Finish 10/10 V nice, colour stays true, and sparkly
Durability 10/10 Sets in a minute and lasts forever. agree with slug
Range of colours: dunno, was given as pressie, but slug says 5 ltd editions for xmas

cod, how do you do your job, your blog, your job for mn and have children? loads of nannys?

Aitch · 30/11/2007 00:49

sssshhh, hifi. she makes it all up in her head, don't you know?

fishie · 30/11/2007 16:36

Mac liquilast inky (navy metallic blue)

i think navy better than brown for those who are cooler toned. also makes eyes look whiter.

VFM: 7/10 it costs a bit but plenty of it and hasn't dried out at all after 6m.
swooshability 8/10 i seldom go wrong with it, brush not too long.
finish: 9/10 slight bleed into wrinkly eyelids without a base but otherwise crisp
durability 11/10 lasts 14hr+ including 50 lengths of pool and shower afterwards.
range of colours 9/10 i got a goldy one which didn't suit me but i expect that is my fault not theirs.

you need collating spreadsheet

BettySpaghetti · 30/11/2007 16:50

I have Chanel liquid eyeliner in a kind of grey black, it is quite good. But I think I prefer proper black when we are talking about liquid eyeliner.

range of colours 6/10 - Just very plain colours available but the grey-brown-black is a nice allrounder

Bourjois Clubbing Liner

Value for money 10/10. £5.95 is cheap.
swooshability 8/10. Short, thin brush, didn't take long to get the hang of it, I did quite a thick line (not Winehouse thick) but not a single felt tip thin line either.
Finish 8/10 I bought what I thought would be bronze but it's a very dark brown, looked good though.
Durability 10/10 Quick drying and lasted at least 10 hours during which I was out in the rain.
Range of colours. 8/10 At least 6 shades.
