Eye Makeup Questions!!! Please Help.?
ok…so the only makeup i wear is eyeliner & mascara. & i have two main questions:
1) what type of eyeliner leaves the skinniest line (liquid, gel, pencil?)
3) does diorshow mascara really work wonders? im not poor but more middle class & i cant really go & spend $24 JUST on mascara esp. if it isnt what i wanted (i want something that will make my lashes go WAHM! without buglegs or clumps.) i dont live by any makeup store (other than walmart or walgreens lol) to i cant even test it out. sooo please give your honest opinions about it. pros &&& cons please!
also…i have watery oily eyes…any advice on eyeliner tips or brands i should use?

1) Definitely liquid. It ranges from a paper-thin line to a slightly thicker one, depending on the pressure you use to apply it. However, some pencil eyeliners have super-skinny pencils – I just saw a Tarte one at Sephora today.http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh…
2) Yes, DiorShow mascara DOES really work wonders. I don’t mean to rave about it, because most people do (OMG i lovee DiorShow!! It’s sooo good!!!!! It’s the best!), but I’m totally serious. It has very very minimal clumps. DiorShow Unlimited also lengthens your lashes a lot, & the regular DiorShow is very good as well. Although, if you have small eyes or thin/short lashes, I wouldn’t recommend the regular DiorShow, just the Unlimited, because the brush is very big.
I think Shiseido mascara & Benefit BadGal (but there’s a b-i-g brush too) ork wonders as well. So does Maybelline Define-A-Lash, if you want to spend less.
But overall, I would recommend DiorShow Unlimited/DiorShow.
As for the watery oily eyes:
I suggest you use waterproof eyeliner – liquid eyeliner always stays on really well when it’s waterproof. I found that the waterproof liners from Makeup Forever are really, really good. They don’t smudge or smear at all. The pencils are good, too. It may seem like a lot: $16 for a pencil liner & $21 for a liquid liner, but it’s really worth your money.

I still think – having tried them all, to get the thinnest line with eyeliner is to get the solid block & use with a thin brush.
Rimmel still make the block – you just dampen your brush & rub on the eyeliner block (like you would with water colour paints) With this you can get it is thin, think, wet or dry as you like for the way that you find easiest to apply. ( Also you will find that which ever make you buy it s probably the cheapest) I live in the UK – but I am sure you can buy this for less that $5 in Walmart.
Sorry I can’t help with the Dior Mascara – I find the new MaxFactor one is brill.

first of all liquid eyeliner will give the skinniest most defined line
but i suggest not putting it on the inside of your lower eyelid as it will make your eyes appear much smaller use it on the top only.. but it depends on the occasion
and with mascara just get a couple of different brands go with cheaper ones if that what you can afford
see which one will suit you best, which ones give the effect you desire & go with that
you dont have to bother about getting top brand mascaras.
and if they are a bit clumpy then just get a mascara brush & brush the clumps out & also never use waterproof mascara unless in the case of swimming etc
as it is basically made out of tar which is used on roads & is extremely bad for your eyelashes
just a few tips & ideas
hope you liked

1. bobby brown makes a really great eyeliner gel that stays put very nicely. you will also have to get a thin liner brush.
2. as for mascara i have found the best ones at discount stores – target, walmart, cvs. the best one is in the orange tube. i can’t remember the name of it.

The pencil eye liner create the thinnest lines you can control how thin you want your point to be by sharpener for make up including lipstick eye shadows eye liner mascara etc. I like MAC or LANCOME go to mac or lancome counter & let them do your make up for free & you can decide what color is best for your skin.

pencils create the thinnest lines. MAC has good eye shadows & lipsticks. for make up I like LANCOME two way foundations in a compact look like pressed powder but works like both make up & powder & sometimes they have cute free gifts with make up bag etc. For your oily watery eye use eye drops or artificial tear eye drops read the label according to your eye problems. (keep it simple means don’t put too much make up like chinese opera)

The liqued eyeliner would be better for you because of your oily skin. Far as Drug store mascaras,all of the models still wear Covergirl Great Lash. (pink tube) I like the Loreal Mascara. I’ve tried several of them & they are good. Diorshow is highly overrated! I tried some on at their counter& wasn’t impressed at all. If I’m going to pay that kind of money,I’d get Definicils by Lancome. But the Loreal seems to be just as good & a lot cheaper too!(& sold at all of the stores!)

any liquid eyeliner will leave the thinnest line, but it can be tricky to handle. diorshow mascara is nice, but i like covergirl lashblast way better! its only 7 or 8 bucks. the wand is big, & takes some getting used to, but once you get it, its great! no clumps or flaking or anything! it also comes in waterproof which is great! covergirl lashblast totally makes your lashes go WAHM!!! plus, you can get it at walgreens or walmart!
hope i helped! good luck!

My honest opinion about diorshow is it is very much overhyped. Even if you could go out & spend 24 dollars on a mascara, diorshow would not be my choice.
I suggest you try one of these two options from the drugstore: covergirl lashblast, or the new maybelline colossal one in the greenish tube. I just bought the colossal mascara, & i love it! It’s comparable to some of my favorite higher end mascaras.
