Ask SandyG - How to keep your eyeliner from smudging?

Posted June 28th, 2008 in what's new

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!
