Happy Wednesday! Here's this week's survey, which you can copy and paste and share as a comment.
- Your skin tone/coloring:
- Best mascara for dramatic lashes?
- Longest wearing eyeliner formula?
- Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried?
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? I don’t often wear mascara but one that’s impressed me is Clarins Wonder Perfect 4D
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? Quite possibly Sephora’s own house brand of pencil liners or MUFE’s pencil liners (when they were around, the pencil liners from Marc Jacobs were good and wore really well but because dried out and unusable in a surprisingly short amount of time)
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried? Nars pencil liner. I’ve had several free minis of the black shade over the years and it’s really not good.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light/medium golden olive/Mac NC25
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? Combo – CG Lashblast Waterproof for curl hold + Tarte Tubing/Eyeko
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? Eyeko Cocoa Edition LIquid
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried? There’s plenty. Not much stands out in particular
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark)
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? I would have to say Heroine Make Long & Curl Super Waterproof mascara that’s been used a few times already! But, it’s really hard to remove. That’s the only caveat. However, it can not only give you KAPOW lashes, it is LIFE-PROOF!
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? The OG KVD Tattoo Eye Liner or the now dc’d Essence Midnight In Paris Gel Liner. Beyond those two, also UD 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil and Sephora Contour Eye Pencil.
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried? Oh dear, it’s been awhile since I had a REALLY bad one, but it was by L’Oreal and it was a felt-tip. Always looked crinkly, shiny and so NOT cute.
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral to cool undertones, grey hair and dark brown eyes.
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? I am sort of still hunting for a good mascara, period. Right now I am still using the MAC Matte Stack but still not wowed. I am determined to use it up though before buying another. I think I would say the Chanel Le Volume de Chanel. I like it but I still get some transfer. It does give me the look I am wanting for my lashes.
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? Florasis Liquid Eyeliner.
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried? This might surprise some people as it is widely touted as the best eyeliner formula but the KVD Tatoo liner. For whatever reason, it flaked and disappeared quite quickly on me. My daughter doesn’t support her brand anymore but she always swore by it. I know she has sold her shares of the business and has distanced herself from the brand but my daughter has a long memory and just won’t go near it. Eventually, I am sure she will again but since neither of us have tried anything in a long time, I don’t know what formula’s are the same and what has changed. The KVD liquid lipstick use to be one of my favorites. I don’t really wear true liquid lipsticks anymore and just use them mostly as a liner or under a lippie to increase length of wear.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? MAC Magic Extension 5mm Fibre Mascara (note that I hate dramatic lashes, very voluminous and long, and this is the max dramatic I can take)
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried? I have been traumatized for life by the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eyeliner… it smudged and disappeared in 2-3 hours, that day at work I almost wanted to hide until it was time to go home and clean that mess.
Your skin tone/colouring Porcelain, with pink undertones
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? Hmm – I don’t really go for dramatic lashes since I wear glasses full time. Any mascara that volumises my lashes rather than lengthens them is appreciated.
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? I don’t really wear eyeliner with my hooded eyes
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried? I think a L’Oreal one that tugged and tugged.
Your skin tone/coloring: light-medium, neutral-warm
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? Armani Eyes to kill. Beautiful dramatic lashes
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? I got impressed recently by a By Terry liner. Glides on easily and stays where I put.
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried? Maybe a MAC liner which was part of a holiday set few years ago. In theory golden color, in practice no color at all.
Your skin tone/coloring:
Under my name; copper hair; hazel green eyes.
Best mascara for dramatic lashes?
I’m allergic to most mascaras.
Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes or UD Perversion.
Longest wearing eyeliner formula?
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil; Lethal Cosmetics gel liners
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried?
E. l. f. and Wet n Wild have both had some stinkers.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, salt & pepper hair
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? My sparse lashes will never be dramatic, but my two favorites are by CoverGirl: Last Blast Fusion and Clump Crusher (both in water resistant).
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? Haus Labs Optic Intensity Eco Eyeliner, with Urban Decay 24/7 as a close second.
Worst eyeliner formula you’ve tried? I can’t remember anything specifically, but I haven’t liked any eyeliner pencils other than the two I mentioned above. Marc Jacobs and Chanel were/are good, but they both dried out on me too fast.
Worst eyeliner EVER was Touch in Sol. Hard and deadly. It seemed the company took ‘pencils’ too literally. Some good colors, though. Waterline? How about sharp acid? No redeeming qualities whatsoever. My consumer review on S was so bad…I think I used the T word (torture) and it was not published. Even the dreadful ones mentioned here are grand, comparatively. More of a disappointment was that MJB didn’t work for me. Total bummer. I eagerly await if/when Sydney Grace does liners.
Your skin tone/coloring fair, cool.
Best mascara for dramatic lashes? My full sized Le Volume de Chanel doesn’t get used often, but I love those tiny sample sized tubes they throw in with your Chanel order. They are especially convenient since I only wear mascara occasionally.
Longest wearing eyeliner formula? Long ago the BB caviar eyeliner (pot), but Im too lazy to use now. I really miss the Marc Jacobs ones too. These days, I use VBB exclusively- in every color made.
Worst eyeliner you’ve tried? When I wanted a lilac liner and could only find one brand that had one, I used Flower Beauty. Terrible. I also love most everything from Chanel EXCEPT their eyeliners. I got a very dry one long ago that keeps me away from ever purchasing again.
Im so sorry. That bad liner was not Flower Beauty. It was Florence by Mills. Ive actually never tried Flower Beauty. But i really like Drew Barrymore!
