Ask SandyG – How to keep your eyeliner from smudging?

June 28, 08

Question:

Hi Sandy,
I was wondering if there is anything I could use to prevent my eye make up from smudging or smearing, especially when I apply it right in the lash line; it smudges right below my eyes making it look as if I have “raccoon eyes”. Is there a technique I could do, or a specific brand of eye liner you could recommend to prevent it from smearing? (Orlena)

Answer:

Dear Smudges,

There are a few ways you can prevent your eyeliner from smudging.  Here are two easy tips and techniques:

1. Use a HARD eyeliner pencil.  A soft eyeliner pencil is great to use when creating a smokey eye, because it’s great for smudging.  But, if you’re looking to keep your eyeliner in place, I would suggest using a hard eyeliner pencil.  My favourite eyeliner on the market is:  ANNABELLE Kohl Eyeliner.  Not only do these pencils stay on all day long – they also retail for under $5.00!!! amazing!

2. Layer.  Going over your eyeliner a few times, helps to keep it on longer. This is a great way to help keep your eyeliner in place!

I really hope this helped you out!  And, don’t forget to wake.up & make.up!

    hey Sandy :)
    my name is Maja Sophie, I’m 15 years old, and I’m from Denmark.
    I am the biggest fan of Megan Mullally, (most of all on Will and Grace as Karen Walker).
    I love her make-up in the show, but I don’t really know how to put it on? In season 8 she have a really pretty look, and I would really like if you could tell me how I do the make-up?
    Thank you so much, I love your website!

    hello, i’m perfect at any type of make up and eyeliner on the upper eyelid whether it’s with liquid eyeliner or pencil eyeliner but there’s one thing that holds me back, how come whenever i try applying eyeliner on the undereyes (just below the undereye lashes) it looks too thick and wierd? maybe it’s just me because i haven’t tried it before but for some reason, no matter how thick or thin the line and how precise it is, it tends too look alittle too over done :( please help!

    cheers ^-^
