Eyeliner purely because you can use cream eyeshadows as liners
.
Good call
makes sense to me!
Definitely eyeliner as Briodmun said you can use shadow as liner … plus eyeshadow is just so much more fun!
lol, I guess this was an easier question than I thought, though I picked to keep eyeshadow for the same reasons – it doubles as a liner!
Eyeliner, since I never use it anyway. If I line my eyes I do it with darker shadow.
So no hard question for me here, for once
Really, you don’t use eyeliner? Crazy! Any particular reason why you don’t?
I don´t feel the need, since I believe I look either too severe or too grunge-y with lined eyes. Black mascara gives me enough definition.
That’s an interesting reason, Nell! It definitely makes sense, you’re lucky mascara does it for you
Eyeliner. It would be tough, but I would line my eyes w/ dark shadows.
Agreed, shadows can even be used wet to create liner.
Hmm… same goes for the opposite way around, I especially use powerpoint pencils as shadows, and sometimes I even darken the corner with a shadow and smudge into it.
I’ve never tried that, just because it’s so ouch! on the lid. How do you do it so it doesn’t hurt?
by with a shadow I meant with a pencil.
I’d give up eyeshadow because I just look dead without eyeliner!
LOL! Aww. I go so often without liner, it’s such a trip when it’s a must for others!
Definately giving up eyeliner first.It can be replace by eyeshadows colors easily.
Looks like the majority is in this category!
I think I’d give up eyeshadow, but only if the eyeliners were MAC. When I’m in a hurry, a lining of a powerpoint pencil and mascara is enough to look put together. Fluidlines can double as a lid colour if you’re so inclined.
LOL, only if it were MAC! Fluidlines make great bases for sure.
I would say….eyeliner. Simply because I didn’t start using eyeliner since last year. I used dark colored eyeshadow to “line” my eyes since the MA at Bobbi Brown showed me how to. So yeah. I could probably live without it.
Hey Fie! I really do love the way black liner looks, but I’d give it up since shadows could be used wet for a liner look.
Eyeliner would go without hesitation. I use eyeshadow SO much more and it is a great deal more versatile.
My roommate, though, would give up eyeshadow – but it really wouldn’t mean much as he doesn’t use it anyway.
Yeah, I definitely use eyeshadow more often, or at least in a larger quantity, than liner!
well, i have incredibly hooded eyelids. so, even if i chose the eyeliner, you wouldn’t see it that well. shadow is a definite must for me! besides you can play with shadow, even change the shape of your eyes with shadow. LOVE it!
That’s so very true, Kat, you can do quite a bit with shadow!
I would give up shadow…. I love liner way too much!
LOL! It’s good to see that people are on both sides!
I think I would give up eyeliner first because you can use a dark shadow as an eyeliner
That’s so true, Lydia!
Eyeliner, for sure. I couldn’t live without my rainbow of colours.
Me neither
Gotta have my shadows!
I rarely wear eyeliner anyways. I always use eyeshadow as liner.
What’s your favorite shadow to use as a liner?
I would have to say eyeshadow. Only because I wear eyeliner every single day while eyeshadow goes on the days where I’m not too lazy. Also with Asian Eyes, I really do need the liner to make them bigger. But of course, I love both!
Hey Rachel! That makes sense, though – seems like a lot of people picked what they wear least to give up!
definitely eyeshadow… haha can’t leave without eyeliner! but I have tame it down a little… heard its bad for wrinkle
lol, I haven’t heard anything about wrinkles and eyeliners, what did you hear?!
