Is it safe to use a match as eyeliner/shadow?

I've heard that some people light a match, then blow it out and dip It in water and use it like a kohl eye make up stick. Is this safe? Please help because I have to go out tomorrow and I have no makeup with me and I cant really get any. Thanks!Is it safe to use a match as eyeliner/shadow?
I don't think it's safe because it's burnt wood and phosphorous. Plus, have you tried doing that on your hand? The color is really light and ugly and it doesn't last long.Is it safe to use a match as eyeliner/shadow?
depending. If you are going for a smokey look, YES! if you want to contrast your colors then no.

What color eyeliner brings out brown eyes the best?

I'm looking for a colored eyeliner, like blue or purple, something bright that'll make my eyes pop. any suggestions?What color eyeliner brings out brown eyes the best?
go for the opposite of your eye colour....blue. you can also try purple. black and grey looks good on every eye colour.What color eyeliner brings out brown eyes the best?
A deep, dark plummy purple will work best for you! Pair it with brown-black mascara and some beige shadow (a very light beige, mind you) and you'll be good to go!
Purple or green
Actually, brown eyes have the option of brown dark brown or navy blue. You can also use traditional black. because you have brown eyes green would be great as would be a royal lue. Brown is the most fun color to play with because all colors can work , it depends upon your style, eggplant is an awesome choice as well. As you can see the choices you have are endless so have fun, go to the mall where you can try the colors free (samples) before making a purchase. Then you can either buy from that store or from any other department store your want to. Explore and be open- minded, keeping in mind that you may want to pick two colors. One for everyday and one for an alternate.
Navy blue
metallic green or a purple will make em pop like popcorn :)
trust me definetly like a light purple. i use lavendar colored eyeliner from deluxe beauty i think i got mine at sephora. =]]
I like using white eye liner on my lower lid - it goes with every eye color and really makes your eyes stand out!





If you're looking for actual colors, try a smoky gray or a green to bring out the flecks of color in your brown eyes.
well if you want to be simple go for a olive,or light brown color for your eyes.





if you want some color try a sparkley blue.
me and alot of my clients have brown eyes so i go for bold cool colors like mauve, navy blue, or hunter green. also silver looks stunning w/ brwn eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Green, golds and coppers look fabulous on brown eyes! You can also line with a dark brownish black and then add one of the colors over it. Good luck!
i would do purple like a bright purple not to dark not to light and put in on the upper and lower lid to make it stand out u will look awsome
Definitely blue. I have dark brown eyes and I use a bright blue eyeliner whenever I wear blue or white. If you want your eyes to look deep, use black. That's what I normally use. I also use teal-ish green sometimes. Then again, one of my best friends has brown eyes, and once used every color of the rainbow once because it matched her shirt! Haha!
My eyes are medium brown, I use a purpilish-blueish color. If your eyes are brown with a little green, then use brownish-grayish-greenish eyeliner.
Choosing Eye Makeup Colors

To make brown eyes really pop, without looking punky or too clubby, I would go with purple. Or go with purple eyeshadow (lightly) and pair it with dark brown eyeliner. I love stila smudge pots. It really stays put, is a cream which is easier to apply than liquid, and looks fantastic.
Purple and Black
brown because when you try and bring out brown with eyeshadow the best colors are always pink and brown so if you want yoyr eyes to look brown wear brown.
a light green would work really well, or even a gold (not too shiny for everyday, though!). use light colors. like, if you have dark skin, to compliment your skin color, you would wear more light colors, like yellows and greens and reds and oranges...


coordinate with your eyeshadow, too (if you wear any).
I would highly suggest blue over purple because i have brown eyes and purple just doesn't seem to match. Also greens look good and really bring out brown eyes. If you really want your eyes to look bigger, use a light color like white under tour eye. It makes your eyes look HUGE!

How can you remove waterproof liquid eyeliner without purchasing a remover?

its not that a i can't afford it, its that i'm stranded in a place where they don't seem to sell any...How can you remove waterproof liquid eyeliner without purchasing a remover?
General make up wipes are pretty good. I like (surprise surprise) Tea Tree Oil and Witchazel makeup remover wipes from (surprise surprise) Boots!


I really do like Tea Tree Oil stuff, but it's SO GOOD!!!How can you remove waterproof liquid eyeliner without purchasing a remover?
Oil based products remove it easily which is great but dont fordet that the skin surrounding your eyes are bery sensitive and you must be very careful what you use on it eachday as you will age the skin prematurely.... invest in an actual eye make up remover... it will benefit you more in the long run.





Hope this helps xx
Use vaseline! It works a -CHARM- :D Just gently apply it to the eye area, wait 10 minutes or so and gently rub it off with cotton wool.
Baby oil (mineral oil) or any type of petroleum based lubircant like vaseline.
Eye make up remover works for me.
Use olive oil..it's gentle and wil condition your lashes. It is also good for dry skin around the eyes.
Use lotion. it works every time!
try baby oil

Can you use eyeshadow as an eyeliner?

because i ran out of eyeliner, so i used eyeshadow, and it worked out pretty well, my eyes stung for a second but only a second... is it safe to keep using eyeshadow as an eyeliner?Can you use eyeshadow as an eyeliner?
Sometimes you can make eyeshadow look even better than liner! Next time just try and not get it too close to your eye. You can easily gage how smokey you want to make your eye, using liner. The right brush really helps, also you can wet the shadow for a crisper effect. The better the product the better the result. And the less of a sting.


It is Totally safe. The same stuff goes in to similar products.


PS


I'm talking about lining the outside of your lids, not the inside.. JSYK.Can you use eyeshadow as an eyeliner?
of course of course!


i know why it stung though. you put eyeliner on your waterline. i wouldn't do that. apply eyeliner on your lashlines! which is right under as close as you can get to your lashes.





putting eyeliner/eyemakeup on your water line can get your eye easily infected. and your makeup doesn't last as long.





using eyeshadow on your top lid as eyeliner especially when its matched with a lighter color as your actual eyeshadow, looks great!





xD
Of course you can! What i'll normally do it wet my stiff brush with a little bit or water, or visine. Mac mixing medium would work too, dip it into any eyeshadow of your choice and line your eyes as usual. Tip: Don't get your brush too wet, or else the eyeshadow wont adhere on your skin and it will run. Set with loose powder.
Yeah defiantly!


Infact I did it last night:


Correction: my mum did my makeup for me last night (she used to be a makeup artist) ...


What she did was dip the eyeshadow lil sponge into water and then into the eyeshadow and then just apply it very carefully!





Of coarse its safe!


Its eyeshadow!!!!!! It isn't poison!
I'm not sure why they stung? Hope you weren't applying it to a waterline??





But yeah eyeshadow works perfectly as eyeliner, the best thing for you to invest in is an eyeshadow brush, looks kinda like a paint brush but gives you a perfect line after a bit of practise!
well i have done that once coz i wont leave the house without it ;D


it also stung my eyes too but my eyes r fine now


so keep doin it ;D


also it is cheaper lol ;P
when i ran out of my eyeliner, i use black or dark brown eyeshadow as a liner too, so it is a good alternative.
Absolutely - I love the variety at aularale.com/7002 - and they're long wearing true colors
yes its fine. apply it with the super thin eye brush, it'll look pretty nice. i do it myself.
I never heard of such, but thanks for the idea! I never thought about it.
yep.
Thats actually all I use... Lol





Its fine =]
yes

revlon %26amp; shehnaz r the best
I use only Eyetex.

  • How do you apply black eyeliner without it looking dumb?

    when you put it on the bottom, don't put it all across the eye. put it more towards the back, not the part closest to your nose. put a little bit there, but not too much cuz that looks pretty stupid





    for the top, close your eye(the one you're gonna put it on) and just put it on.if something doesnt look as good as you want it, smudge it. it'll look really great!!How do you apply black eyeliner without it looking dumb?
    well for a start you will need a good sharpened one cause if u use a flat one that will not apply properly and use a good mirror preferably one next to a good light so u can put it on nice and neatHow do you apply black eyeliner without it looking dumb?
    Start off with a pencil. You need a really steady hand for liquid. Try in a subtle colour like a light brown and as you get better at applying it you can begin to darken it and use liquid. If you use a pencil do top and bottom but if you use liquid try to only do the bottom.
    Stretch your eye outward...dont kill it and draw a straight line across eye lids and lower lids and make it thin...=}
    Depends on whether your using a pencil or liquid.





    Pencil: make sure its sharpened good, then apply in light strokes and make sure your hand is steady, or this can result in a zig zag line. If the line is not dark enough trace over the existing line some more to your desired heavyness.





    Liquid:Also needs light strokes, be sure to pause in between strokes to make sure you have the desired amount applied. Oh rememmber this defininetly desires a sturdy hand.





    Hope this helps.
    I wear black eyeliner a lot, and found that lining the top lid with a very thin line...then smudging it outward (with the foam end of my eyeliner...you can always use a smudging stick) and then lining only the outer half of my bottom lid. I find that not lining 100% of the way around my eyes makes them look bigger and definitely not dumb!
    well.. if your putting it on too dark. try not putting on so much
    if you're talking about liquid eyeliner, DON'T stretch your eyelid out. just keep your eyes a bit open so that the liner goes on with the natural curve of your eyelid. keep your arm steady. it takes a lot of practice to get it perfect. use short strokes so as to avoid mistakes.
    apply black eyeliner to the inner rim of ur lower eyelid bit [if that makes sense] and on top of ur lashes at the top of your eye :]

    first of all use a dash of lipbalm on ur eyes n lids so that if ur eye lids are dry n patchy the liner will not go smooth...now draw a thin line so as to give a fresh look. The thick line shows a sulken look...i wont prefer liner to b drawn on lower lids. use a gud quality maskara for a sweet look...afterall this summers only mascra without liner is in..but if a liner is must for u make it thin.......c yaa God Bless :)

    Best eyeliner i can buy from boots?

    I don't have a budget, but im not paying tons of money, and i can only go to boots as heading into the local town, i don't have time for tomorrow, so whats the best one if your opinion, im looking for a pencil, that will smudge when i smudge it, not when it wants to, and is good for the waterline, plus any tips on getting it to stay on longer?Best eyeliner i can buy from boots?
    They're all rubbish.


    Just get a really good mascara and smudge a bit of dark eyeshadow close to your upper lashes.Best eyeliner i can buy from boots?
    Collection 2000 I Dont Know What Its Called Its Around 拢1.90


    And There Are Loads Of Colours To Chose From


    Help It Staying On


    When You Have Put It On Your Waterline Put A Little Bit Of Eyeshadow Underneath Your Waterline In The Colour Eyeliner
    i like bourjois contour eyeliner. it goes on nice and thick and smudges easily
    lancome eye pencil is the best in my opinion it retails at 拢14.50 in boots but if you are looking for something a little cheaper then loreal waterproof eyeliner is pretty good
    MAC omg best eyeliner ever!! It stays on soo long





    Okay this is a makeup tip from demi lovado





    -You put cover up under your eye and it makes the eye liner stay on and look more to prefection!





    Hope it Helped=]
    I don't recall the exact brands available at Boots, since last time I have been to the UK was about 3 years ago. BUT. I'll reply based on what's available in other european drugstores.





    L'Oreal HIP Eye Liner Pencil in Black.





    Any quality eye pencil, this one topping my personal list, has a somewhat creamy consistency that glides easily and smoothly over your skin, is good for your waterline and can easily be smudged with a smudge or a Q-tip.





    I have only one tip, however, to make any eye-make up last except for mascara-- prime your eyes. Since you're going to a drugstore, the one good drugstore brand primer is L'Oreal De-Crease. What it does is create a base for any make up to stick to and maintains the color while decreasing any unwanted smudging.
    rimmel london, mayballine and avon I like.
    urban decay 24/7 eyeliners! they're available in the bigger boots, cost about 9quid each. the staying power is good, and if you want to smudge it you'll have to do it once you put in on, then it'll stay on the whole day :)
    prestidge waterproof eyeliner. i love it, %26amp; it seriously is the best. heres a few points about it:





    1. it lasts the whole day without smudging,even on the water seriously!!!


    2. its not like 1 of those eyeliners that say there waterproof when its not, i wear this to the beach all the time. its great stuff!


    3. not expensive at i think its like 拢4.75.


    4. the only thing i dont like about it is how you have to twist it up because its a little un hygenic but i dont mind that because of how great this eyeliner is.


    5. the other thing i dont like is its not as pigmented as i'd like it to be so when i apply it i have to go over it to get more color.





    but this seriously is my fave eyeliner, if your looking for a long-lasting waterproof eyeliner this seriously is 1!!!
