I wanna eyeliner which stays put all day long

I wear contact and my eyes water slightly because of them. I also have slightly oily skin, consequently I put on eyeliner at 8am to go to work and by 11am I have large pools of black under my eyes making it look as though I didn't get any sleep. I have tried liquid liner, cake liner, pencil liner, felt liner. I have tried No7, Almay, Rimmel none of which work. I dont want a "smokey" eye look, simply a neat line which stays put until I take it off. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    I use a Revlon one - can't remember exactly what it is called but will dig it out and post later.

    Just a thought... have you tried dusting a little powder over your face before applying foundation?

    I moisturise, leave it a few minutes, use one of those foundationy type loose powders (not too much!), brush off excess, then apply foundation and the rest of my make up (sounds rather long winded but only takes a few moments and it really seems to help set my make up!)

  • You have to buy MAC - Liquidlast (i have it in pointblack)

    I started using this 5 years ago and nothing compares!

    It's about £13 and small but it lasts at least 2/3 months for me (Everyday use)
    i put it on for work and it will still be there the next morning if i don't take it off! It's waterproof :)

    :D
  • Liquid eyeliner is the best! :) Maxfactor have a really good liquid eyeliner that I use, its around £6.00 but it's easy to use and worth the money. :) I'd rather have that one than a cheap one that doesn't stay put!

    Seal you eyeliner with Benefit She Laq - nothing will move it until use eye make up remover and it can also be used to seal mascara, eyebrows, and anything else really:)
