Midnight Blue Eyeliner

is quickly becoming a hot trend in the make up world. I’m really a fan of potted eyeliner (such as MAC’s fluidline and Bare Escentual’s Buxom Lashliner). The one investment you need to make when venturing into the gel type eyeliner world is a good brush. My personal favorite is MAC’s 210 brush ($17.50), if you prefer a thicker line I’d go for their 209 brush.

The trick to created a cat-eye is to gradually get thicker at the outer corner and wing out towards the ends of your eyebrows. To make it a day look, just shorten the wing! MAC’s fluidline is available in “Waveline” ($15.00) and is so popular it’s sold out online, but I’d check your local stores and counters for it. Bare Escentual’s Buxom Lashliner is available in “Blue Velvet” ($15.00) and is avaliable at Sephora. Blue Velvet has a shimmer to it, so if you’re anti that, I’d stick with MAC. But if you’re a lash addict like myself Bare Escentual’s left a warning for you on Sephora’s website, “Lash addicts beware: Buxom Lashliner is highly habit-forming. This may look like just a liner, but it’s also a thickening and conditioning treatment that instantly takes the appearance of your lashes from hardly any to very many”
