HELL YES.
I’ve recently switched over to a cream/gel eyeliner, but only because I get irritated with the applicator when it’s starting to run out (it begins to fray).

But that eyeliner has seriously never let me down.

There’s this unknown brand I got from a drugstore in Tokyo. It has the word Tattoo on it and it’s like of like a temporary tattoo on my eyes. Doesn’t budge, won’t smudge and lasts more than a day until I take a eye-makeup remover to it.

Pencil: MAC Feline or mark No Place to Run in JetSet
Gel/Cream: Blacktrack or Loreal cream liner in Black
Liquid: Wet and Wilds black

But I use the eyeshadow Tijuana from KatVon D’s pallet. Looks ultra black on me =)

totally agree! after hearing about it so much i finally tried it out and love it! although i should have gotten more before they sold out or took it off shelf again. next time they release it again, i’m gonna stock up because right now, i’m just trying to conserve what i have!

I know I’ve said this before but I’ll add Define-a-Line by Maybelline too – I carried one of those with me EVERYWHERE in high school so it has a special place in my heart 🙂 (I still keep one with me, never use it, it’s just a good luck charm!) Hehe!

MAC khol in Smolder. Hands down, no contest perfect. I like to smudge it out over my lid with a 242 (my first HE brush, which I still own to this day) and layer shadows over it. Bomb!

MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
MAC Feline as a base for smokey looks, not for eyeliner `cause it smudges on my lids

I usually just use like Annabelle (canadian company) or GOSH. They are pretty soft!

I have never used the MAC FELINE, does it have staying power for like a waterline?

Wow, seems like lot of people really like Blacktrack Fluidline! I was so disappointed with mine. I’m just not able to get a nice even line with it no matter what brush I use.

My very favorite liner is Laura Mercier’s black cake liner. Lasts forever too. 🙂

I also like Lancome’s black kajal (don’t remember the name) and UD Zero.

Mine’s Feline too, I just love how dark and creamy it applies on my waterline. But I have question for you Christine, do you know if they are bringing feline back anytime soon?

Prestige Total Intensity E/L

L’Oreal Infallible Eyeliner in Carbon Black. By far, my #1 black eyeliner. I put it on for work at 7:30am and it stays until I take it off at bedtime(11pm). And, despite my oily skin, it still stays put all day. Goes on easy, comes off easy (w/ eye makeup remover). I have two back-ups.

I’d have to say that also the MAC Penultimate liner is really good as well, because it makes it really easy to create the ‘cat eye’ shaped liner as well as any other shapes. As long as I have an eyeshadow base like the one from Nars, it should stay on all day as I have oily eye lids.

I may try the Nars liner stylo next though.

I love the effect of mac blacktrack, but I couldn’t find a brush i liked!
So I switched to loreal carbon black lineur intense!
Then I discovered the Sonia kashuk bent liner brush and I LOVE blacktrack again!
