Make up update - esp eyeliner

4 replies

I had a thread about eyeliner - couldn't get it to stay on - and mentioned trying some other make up. So thought I'd update.

The Doll 10 gel liner is excellent, it has survived the gym, the shower and also a proper "crying with laughter" fit today as well. The only thing is, I have never used that kind of liner and found it took longer to apply, not easy like a pencil. Not easy to use in the morning rush. So I'd like to keep it but not sure I will.

I also tried a Laura Geller set. I normally use Doll 10 foundation. Tried the Balance and Brighten but it's not really buildable or you look powdery?

Tried a blusher in that set. Haven't worn that for years as I seem to have got a bit red in the cheeks over the years. I noticed that it made me look perkier. But maybe a bronzer is better. Blusher makes a really obvious made up look on me, Ifeel.

Loved, loved, loved the kajal eye pen as a liner or shadow, it was that attracted me to the set, but the shade included isn't quite dark enough to use as a liner. Gorgeous as an eyeshadow.

I could send the Doll 10 back and get a black kajal. It has great staying power too, though I wasn't at the gym that day.

I found the marble lippy weird, much paler than shown in the demo. The spackle - literally couldn't see what it was meant to do.

Definitely sticking with Doll 10 foundation, I'll be stuffed if they stop making it. I tried Tarte and it was excellent but didn't agree with my skin.

Going to try a cheapo bronzer and see if it gives a bit of extra. I'll end up on Beauty hoarders at this rate.

planning to get hair highlights so hopefully looking a bit brighter than usual in winter! Make up seems rarer at work post lockdown, otherwise I'd be tempted to experiment a bit more.

I also brought the doll gel eyeliner, have it on today for the first time, and I agree it has the best staying power of every other eye liner I own, it hasn't move /smudge at all, its been on since 9am this morning, my second favourite is the hourglass one, but that doesn't stay on as well as this one, maybe I should try the foundation too.

just to add, I found the laura geller kajal eye pencil not so good,i liked to use it as a liner, but it smudge to much.

Well, the Doll 10 product has dried quite a bit after just...two weeks? I can't see the point of reviving it with liquid as surely that will just mean it loses staying power?

I use it everyday, still no smudges, I wash the brush every other time I use it, mine hasn't dried out .
