i wholeheartedly second the smudgepot motion!

I use Estee Lauder's retractable pencils b/c, despite using a zillion different sharpeners, I just suck at trying to sharpen normal eyeliner pencils. I use either black or brown depending on my mood. I line all round my eyes and wing it out a bit, usually.

I use the waterproof black Prestige pen. I only use it on the outer halves of the lower lids. It looks good right after you put it on and it also wears/smudges really well. You won't look like a racoon at the end of the night.

I just bought Smashbox jetliner in black. Cant wait for it to arrive!!

I'll let you know if it was worth the money!

cant live without my rimmel liquid eyeliner. the ones with a pointy stick thing are less messy then brushes. i never wear it on my bottom lash line tho, cos its stingy! i just use it on the top dead messy, then get a cotton bud, lick it so its a bit damp, n use it to tidy up the line, it works sooo well!
