Saggy eyes...best eyeliner??

[gettingolderbutcooler]

I've got an old and saggy face with old saggy eyelids. 😳
I've been so boring all my life with my make up and I'd like to get a really smudge proof eyeliner - liquid or powder or stick. Something to smokify my eyes (patent pending on that word!!!). But all of the ones I've used seem to just get rubbed off super fast.
Any suggestions? Xx

Following - I also have an old saggy face and old saggy eyelids

You need urban decay eyeshadow primer, it makes anything you put on stick.

Liquid eyeliner stays but I think it can look harsh on a ‘blurry’ face. I use a flat eyeliner brush with eyeshadow. Wet stays longer. Also once read not to put mascara or liner under the eyes and I think that helps as I’ve got past 50.

Ooh thanks.

I've tried liquid on base of top lashes- it's off within hours!! 😞

I use urban decay primer, stila stay all day eyeliner just on the corners then smudge it a little with some eyeshadow where the eyeliner is. It seems to stay and my eyelids are almost hanging in my eyes! I also have a lash lift and tint which makes my saggy eyes look slightly better

Maybe line gel liner in the pot with the brush.

I use nyx liquid eyeliner and it doesn't budge. I have the double whammy saggy eyes and oily skin but it does work. I've not tried their smudgable stuff though.

You can also try fixing/ finishing spray, the nyx one is excellent

I have always had one very over hanging hooded eyelid.
I use Bobby brown eyeliner in a pot with a flat eyeliner brush.
It stays on well

I've never heard of eye primer, fixer OR eyeliner in a pot.
I've been living under a rock!

I've got Semi Permanent eyeliner tattoo, game changer

Can I add the Kat Von D one does not stay on as promised
I had such high hopes
Agree that the UD primer is key

Thank you. Good suggestions! X

I agree liquid eyeliner often doesn't work very well on crepey/saggy eyes as the canvas you're drawing.on isn't smooth so it can look jumpy and harsh. Flicks are particularly tricky. A pencil or pot is softer but imo don't last as long. I've given up and only line the top waterline to give a bit of definition.

This stuff does not budge on my saggy eyelids - I no longer have to use primer which suits me down to the ground as I’m usually in a rush

You need kiko intense colour lasting eyeliner. It’s brilliant and cheap! If you’re at the age/stage where things are sagging (as am I) liquid could look harsh and a bit witchy.

I have hooded eyelids and they are quite crepey, I use either Bobbi brown gel liner pots and a brush but I tend to go smokey over harsh lines as it looks better on me and only a very subtle flick if at all. I’ll also use dark eyeshadows to line my eye, Or benefit matte roller pen in brown is good. Use decent primer - elf do a good one or urban decay, I have a too faced one at the moment I quite like. I feel setting spray doesn’t make much difference to my eye make up.

Looks like the urban decay primer is a defo.
And maybe some b brown shades- they look nice. And a liner.
For Christmas! Yay! Something I really, properly, actually want!
Cheers everyone xx

Oh tell me more about that please odds

@MrsKeats, sorry I didn't see your reply!

I had semi permanent eyeliner applied at the beginning of the year by a very talented abdcqualified aesthetics nurse. It involved an initial appointment and then a top up 5 weeks later. It's basically a tattoo but fades overtime so its not forever. I had top and bottom lash lines done and it cost £200 in total and should last 3-5 years. My eyes are now always made up and no my running or smudging!

That's brill odds
I think I am going to go for it.

What colour did you have? I’ve known a few women that had black and it looked great at first but then faded and a blue pigment developed and didn’t suit them and looked awful.

I would consider a dark brown but then would worry that might fade to red or orange!

@Mariell, I went for black but yes there is a choice of colours. Originally I was going to have charcoal but was told that fades quicker. Mine has not faded at all after 6 months, if it does start to I'll go for a top up.
