I sometimes just put it on a couple hours in advance so that it will already have smudged down, and wipe that off. Maybe it's just my cheap brand of eyeliner but after the first time it never smudges at all.0

I use urban decay primer potion under my eye make up. After I use a pencil liner I go over it with a matching eyeshadow. I like the softer edges and I feel like it keeps it in place. My make up stays on through the sweatiest of all workouts too.
Now getting blush to stay! Havent figured out that one yet lol0 -
i usually take a q-tip and run it acorss my waterline to remove any access water from my eyes. then you can either use a pencil or a gel eyeliner put it on your lower lids and set it with a black shadow. When I'm out of primer or good eyeliner this is usually what I do, its cheap and easy and lasts all night0

Use cream blush, then powder blush on top. After that you can also set it with loose or pressed powder and it should stay put.

Waterproof, liquid eyeliner is the best. I used to only use liquid liner, but then my eyes couldn't tolerate it anymore and now I use pencil. Max Factor makes a great waterproof liner. You can sweat, cry, and it will still look like you just put it on..............0

I use liquid--I've used it since high school. It never smudges; Maybelline Dark Brown.0

revlon color stay eye liner & maybelline 12 hour carbon black eye liner work great on the water line and lash line for the most part. most staying eye liner i have come across in a drug store. the maybelline has more product than the revlon & has a built in sharpener & smudger on the bottom. .. i recommend that one.0

MAC technikohl in black. Can barely get it off with makeup remover wipes it stays so good. (and Im a walking furnance. I sweat like a pig)0

Hairspray works. I use MAC fluidline with an angled brush and then make sure the area around my eyes is well powdered0

I have a nice eyeliner brush and use dark eye shadow instead of liner on my lower lids and I've never had a problem with it running. On my upper lashes I use regular eyeliner and smudge it into my lash line.0

I echo what everyone else said - Urban Decay primer is best. They also make the very best pencils. A little pricier than drug store stuff but worth every penny - it really does stay put all day.
Out of drugstore brands, I find that Loreal HIP cream eyeliners are very long lasting. Don't use the brush that comes with it, it's awful.0 -
MAC Fluidline will stop all of your woes. Urban decay primer is great! I am so trying the cornstarch! LOL!0

Yes, Kandee is great!! She is an extremely talented makeup artist and her makeup tutorials are outstanding. Her tutorials for eyebrows are the best ones I have ever seen. Ever since I watched them, I have gotten nonstop compliments on my eyebrows. My natural eyebrows are pale blonde and basically invisible - what you see in my photo is what I learned from Kandee.
Here are her eyebrow tutorials:

i absolutely swear by urban decay's primer potion. just put it on your lids and whatever you put on them stays all day long. I LOVE that stuff.0

I don't know, I've never had any issues with that! lol. I use physicians formula liquid eyeliner and also an eyeliner by bare escentuals (or whatever it's called)0

DON'T spray hair spray at your eyes! There are warnings on every single can, it can make you blind!0

lol, the guy above replied to an eyeliner post0

everything is already mentioned..
I use the primer potion, then I use a liner brush with the urban decay perversion pencil. the ud pencil is way to creamy for me to get a nice thin line so I just use a brush. go over it with some shadow. I also use a dark shadow under my eyes instead pencil. then some nyx doll eyes mascara and done!0 -
You've had great answers. I use a Too Faced primer and powder for liner. Question...when y'all say waterline is that the part up against the eye? I put along my lower lash line but have never figured how people get liner on that inside part.0

when I put liner in my waterline it always falls off and then I look like a raccoon. I really have no clue how others do it.0 -
constantly belittle it, and never let it feel good about itself...:laugh:0

the waterline is the inside lower lash line. for me, only waterproof eyeliner (pencil or gel) stays put more than 30 minutes there. '
now for ADVANCED eyelining, you should check out "tightlining". this means the upper waterline. for some people, like my good friend Marcy, this is not necessary. For me, this is a HUGE difference. It is seriously the difference between amateur and professional. Every single time I do tightlining, I get compliments.You've had great answers. I use a Too Faced primer and powder for liner.

The more $$ you spend on the product, the less runny you will get. Try different brands and put it to the test!0

I use Sormeh on my water line. Here's a link:

I use Urban Decay 24/7 liner on my lashline, and go over that with the Sormeh. It lasts all day and doesn't migrate on me.0 -
Urban Decay 24/7 is AWESOME! best pencil on the market. MAC is a close second. slightly less creamy/dense, but also more colors.
I will look into Sormeh, thanks for the tip.I use Sormeh on my water line. Here's a link:

I'm too cheap for Urban Decay, but I've had success with primer and the Avon glimmersticks. I've tried three different primers so far, and they all work about the same, but one of them irritated me a little bit. Palladio was the irritator. I've also tried Mary Kay and ELF. I like the ELF because it's $1, but the Mary Kay comes in a nicer tube that is more sanitary to use.
Without primer, my makeup falls off within minutes.0 -
