•Stick or non-sticky lipgloss?- non-sticky
•Sheer or pigmented lipstick?- pigmented
•Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner?- pencil
-Non-sticky.
-Pigmented. (Othewise I would use lipgloss…)
-Neither. I like liquid liner. It lasts longer and doesn’t smudge.
I don’t have a preference when it comes to sticky or non-sticky lipgloss, but truthfully the majority of what I wear is sticky and it really doesn’t bother me that much!
I’m all about pigmented lipstick, I think it makes a great statement for when I go out because I feel like a lot of girls my age (20) don’t wear lipstick that much and instead just stick (no pun intended!) with lipgloss because it’s easier (I guess?). But recently I’ve started wearing lipstick and all of my friends love it…also on the sheer idea, I like sheer for during the day or even interviews/dinner dates because it is more subtle and natural.
I hate pencil eyeliner, I have been a pot and brush gel eyeliner girl for over 4 years now and will probably NEVER switch!! I think it looks so much better and I find that the Bobbi Brown gel pot eyeliners literally last for hours (until you take it off, that is!) I do use/wear pencil eyeliner only if I am ever going for a much more casual and smudged-looking eye.
* Non-sticky lipgloss
* Sheer lipstick (Actually I like pigmented ones too)
* Cream/gel eyeliner
🙂
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? It’s not important for me…I try to find only a right shade for my dark lips 😉
Sheer or pigmented lipstick? Absolutly Sheer! I love this finish
Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? Creme/Gel eyeliners are my favourite!
Hey Christine!
* Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? – Non-sticky! But if the color is awsome, then I can deal with the stickyness 🙁
* Sheer or pigmented lipstick? – Depends on what look I want…a lot of eye makeup – sheer lipstick…..just mascara – pigmented lipstick!
* Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? Pencil eyeliner, I can never use a cream/gel up because they always get dry so I stoped buying them and just sticked to my good old pencil eyeliners!
Non-sticky lipgloss
Pigmented lipstick
Gel eyeliner (Bobbi Brown)
Slightly sticky lipgloss, it lasts longer. Pigmented lipstick (sheers don’t show up on my berry toned lips), and I usually go with pencil liner, unless I’m doing a cat eye. Usually though I skip eyeliner.
nonsticky; sheer for day, pigmented for night/fun; I stopped using eyeliner and prefer to use shadow on the lower lashes!
Stick or Non-Sticky Lipgloss: Sticky
Sheer or Pigmented Lipstick: Pigmented all the way <3
Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner: Gel/Cream works better for my deep set eye.
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-Sticky! or right in the middle.
Sheer or pigmented lipstick? Pigmented, you can always sheer it out.
Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? Gel!
1. Non-sticky lipgloss – sticky is a deal breaker for me.
2. Pigmented lipsticks! – what’s the point of sheer? (I have pigmented lips & I’m not going to drop $20+ on a sheer color.
3. Gel eyeliners, usually. If I’m short on time, or simply don’t care, I reach for 2 pencils: EL soft smudge in black for upper lid (awesome!) & UD Zero for lower lid/waterline.
Non-sticky lipgloss–> i hate having hair stuck on my lips!
both sheer and pigment lippies–> different looks call for different pigmentation.
cream/gel liner–> a MUST! I have oily lids and can’t do even waterproof pencil 🙁
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? non sticky
Sheer or pigmented lipstick? pigmented
Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? gel

Rarely wear lipgloss i love MAC Sweetie lipstick, and I swear by Buxom Lashliner
– stick or non-sticky lipgloss: non-sticky. i can’t stand it when my hair gets stuck to my lipgloss!
– sheer or pigmented lipstick: pigmented. you can always sheer out pigmented lipsticks but can’t always build up sheer lipsticks for more color.
– cream/gel or pencil eyeliner: pencil liner all the way! my favorite is mac’s technakohl in graphblack.
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? Non sticky

* Stick or non-sticky lipgloss?
I guess I’d prefer non-sticky. I don’t mind sticky as long as I have my hair up if it’s windy.
* Sheer or pigmented lipstick?
Pigmented! You might as well call it lipgloss if it’s sheer. Blech!
* Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner?
Cream/gel for sure. It goes on smoother and works better in the waterline. Plus, you don’t have to sharpen it.
Non sticky lipgloss: so my lips feel smooth as opposed to gluey
Sheer lip color in summer, opaque in winter
Gel liner on lids, (MAC technakohl) pencil on waterline
Sticky pigmented pencil!
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss?
NON-STICKY! I hate it when the wind blows, and your hair gets stuck on your lips. Not. Sexy.
Sheer or pigmented lipstick?
I have VERY pigmented lips by itself, so I love me some pigmented lipstick 🙂
Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner?
Cream/Gel all the way! I like the precision that I get from it, with whatever brush I use 🙂 Plus, no need for sharpening to get that wing that I desire…
🙂
– non sticky
-sheer
-pencil!
– Non-sticky lip gloss feels better, but as long as it’s actually keeps the shine it’s ok – DuWop lip venom has lovely color but it’s so thin and sticky the shine disappears after a very short amount of time >.>
– Depends! Flashes of color are really pretty, but since my lips are kinda pigmented (the rosy kind of pigmented), I dunno about sheer, LIGHT lipsticks 😛 But who am I to speak, that have only owned 4 lipsticks, and my sister has 1 xD
– Pencil for lower lashline, even though I like using eye shadow for that. I think it’s really hard to use pencil liner as a liner actually, so I prefer eye shadow or liquid liner! 😛 (Haven’t tried gel/creme yet but want to)
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? Definitely non-sticky
Sheer or pigmented lipstick? I like pigmented lipsticks
Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? Pencil, I don’t work well with cream/gels
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? non-sticky please, although really I wear whatever
Sheer or pigmented lipstick? pigmented
Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? None, all make my eyes itch and I just can’t stand it
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? After too much time fighting it, I have come to LOVE sticky lipgloss – For the staying power.
Sheer or pigmented lipstick? Um… What do YOU think? Duh! LOL!
Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? Completely depends on what you’re doing. They’re both necessary items in my kit. Gel eyeliner for long-lasting, precision work and pencils for smudging, smoking and blending with other eye products (shadows, pigments, etc.).
* Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-Sticky if it would last.
* Sheer or pigmented lipstick? Pigmented!
* Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? ….Liquid 🙂
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? – Sticky! I love that feeling when you smack your lips together and you can feel the gloss!

Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? Pencil
Non-sticky, pigmented, and niether. 🙂
* Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? non-sticky
* Sheer or pigmented lipstick? either’s good
* Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner? pencil (liquid on top lashline though)
* I actually like non-sticky to semi-sticky lipgloss. These always leave my lips looking juicy lol *pigmented(I would hate to feel like I wasted my money for a sheer color) * Both (pencil for waterline and cream/gel for upper lashline always… they both serve a good purpose and one,in my opinion, is easy to applyon different and offer more control.
Non-sticky lipgloss

I use both gel liner and pencil, yes at the same time (have a large lash line to fill in. I tend to prefer pencil though.

1. I don’t care, they both have their pro’s and cons. Sticky tends to stay longer but it is more prone to get on your teeth and have your hair stick to it and non-sticky seems to slide off easily.
2.Pigmented! If I wanted sheer I’d use a lip gloss.
3. Pencil, it’s easier to fix if you mess up, you can use it without having to be so careful so it’s great when you are short on time.
Sticky or Non-Sticky Lipgloss?
Sticky, it feels nicer on my lips!
Pigmented?
Yesssss! 🙂
Cream/Gel or pencil liner?
Its not on the list, but I love liquid liner (lancome art liner is the best!)

Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner – it really depends on the look I’m going for but generally for work I use pencil with topped with a similar color shadow
* Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss?
Sticky – It stays where I put it.
* Sheer or pigmented lipstick?
Pigmented – There are some nice sheer lipsticks, but generally, if I want sheer I just use gloss.
* Cream/gel or pencil eyeliner?
Gel – I use pencils pretty often as bases for shadow, but if I want a nice defined line, gel’s the way to go.
Stick or non-sticky lipgloss? Lipglass is my fav lipgloss. So sticky?
Sheer or pigmented lipstick? Sheer for sure. I am a lipgloss gal!

Non-sticky for sure but I still do buy sticky ones.
Depends on the day.
Gel for upper lashline and pencil for lower lashline.
I don’t really use lip gloss too much to care whether it’s sticky. I do like high shine and lasting power, though. And if a lipstick isn’t pigmented, it sure as hell isn’t coming home with me! As for eyeliner, it really depends on the finish I want, but I have more pencils.

Sheer or pigmented lipstick? – pretty sheer. i’m only 18 so i find that hyper pigmented lipsticks make me look like i’m trying too hard lol.
