i know doublewear have really good reviews...worth the hype then?

what is better about gel?
I use felt tip ones or the mac ones in all their many bloody incarnations but true not gel

traceybath · 07/01/2010 20:39

Have got granite - its very nice but still quite dark.

The cream eye shadows are brilliant too.

OpheliaPain · 07/01/2010 20:42

dotn they creep down your eye?
only wear shadow in BRIGHT colours so generally at work just pencil

the gel one isa GREAT format but is def more dramatic than doublwear - think half the deal for me with it is the great shade - just sets off my ( green) eyes great and goes with everything ( imnsho)

I agree with grey in almost everything

I'll get the doublewear when I finally cross the threshold

I bought the graphite ysl false eyelash mascara before christmas....bizarrly v natural but v long eyelashes (not like phil mitchell anymore)nice change as only ever wear black

brimfull · 07/01/2010 20:48

I have black, brown shimmer and indigo.
I only use the brown one though.

brimfull · 07/01/2010 20:49

I bought two cream shadows last week.

stone and bone

fab fab fab

OpheliaPain · 07/01/2010 20:50

hmm
my eyes are tiny PIG eyes so not much room to do elaborate eyeshadow.

I've got very dark blue/grey eyes and got the cream eye shadow in bellini (very subtle/neutral colour) and then midnight sparkle which I use as more of a smudgy eye liner.

They are fab.

But for everyday just use bellini and either the grey gel eyeliner or grey pencil.

Ronaldinhio · 07/01/2010 20:55

mine are getting smaller as my forehead seems to be folding over on itself likethis

ZacharyQuack · 07/01/2010 21:00

I've got BB Black Plum (nice for green eyes) and Mahogany.

Clinique also do a good gel eye liner. I've got Egytian - dark green/gold/grey

brimfull · 07/01/2010 21:17

ophelia- your eyes are so NOT tiny

I do nothing elaborate

bone colour is a base and hides redness, also good under eyebrow to highlight -arf at me

stone is nice as everyday but can build up the colour for evening

arf am making myself laugh now

geordieminx · 07/01/2010 22:10

I bought this its fab - eye liner is cavier ink

Iatemyskinnyperson · 07/01/2010 22:27

I'm kinda thinking coloured eyeliners are a bit of a swizz. I recently bought Macs Prunella pencil (aubergine) and Cliniques Violet Ink, but they just come off as DARK - can't make out colour at all

However, exception proving the rule and all that, I also got Mac Powersurge pencil and it is GORGEOUS. Its a bronzy/dark gold colour, I used it with bare lids and loved it!! Looked great with my blue eyes, but I think it would suit most eye colours.

I do have Bobbi Browns Mahogany gel liner and it is pretty good, but just comes off as DARK!!!

MamaG · 07/01/2010 22:32

WHY is there an eyeliner thread without me? i bloody LOVE eyeliners.

OpheliaPain · 07/01/2010 23:04
