I am a big fan of being able to draw a fine line on my eyes for a day look, but a bit thicker, more dramatic look for night. The problem was, I hadn’t quite pinpointed the right liner with just the right variability of control.

I was originally using a Rimmel Eye Pencil, but it was either too light or too thick of a line. Just not enough OOMPH.

Then I started using Almay liquid i-liner, which was just about right. Except, I had to deal with the hassle of it drying once the application was done. I had to hope and pray that the line was right or I’d have to clean it off and do it again. On those nights that I DID get it right, I awoke to black, gooey eye gunk lodged into the furthest crevices around my eyeball (yes, I’m a sporadic non-face washing offender!). That just wouldn’t do.

Then one day thanks to my wonderful make-up artist friend/employee of MAC, I was introduced to MAC Fluidline. It’s a cream liner that you apply with a small angle brush. I use MAC brush #263 Small Angle Brush:

It allowed me with much ease to control the amount, application, and angle of the line. Yes, I’ve found the saviour of all liners. It lasts all day long and then some. The great thing about it was it came in a variety of colors which was great for me! I loved it so much I got one in Blacktrack, Waveline (a navy blue) and Blitz & Glitz (shimmery brown). The great thing is that I could use MAC Fluidline as a base for shadow as well. The shadow holds onto the Fluidline as if it were a cream shadow. it’s my eyelining dream….*sigh*

And for that I say…THANKS MAC!!! And I don’t mean Donald’s.
