Hello, I could really use some advice on which eyeliner to purchase for doing creative cat eyes and keeping in mind I live in hot and humid Florida! I'm torn between MAC Fluidline and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel eyeliner! I bought a 211 brush in anticipation and I'm hoping some more experienced users can PLEASE help me with the pro's and con's so I can make my decision and get to spending, LOL!! Thanks!
I've never tried either of those products, but I use a cream liner by Sephora & absolutely love it! It's creamy & goes on well, but doesn't smudge. & it stays on foreverrrr! Hope that helps :)
I'm always surprisingly impressed by Sephora's quality, I hadn't thought to even look at theirs but now I will, thanks! And I'll check out Smashbox while I'm at it, at least they have those in store to swatch on my hand, Sephora (mine at least) doesn't carry Bobbi Brown and I swatched fluidline at the MAC store but wasn't blown away by it. I guess I was hoping someone would sway me, lol! Thanks!
I've used both and personally prefer Bobbi Brown's over MAC's. Both wear well very well but I found Bobbi Brown's to not dry out as fast in the container and I personally like the consistency more. However, MAC's is less expensive. If you're going to purchase it at a department store that carries both, I would recommend playing with both in store, at least to decide which consistency is better for you as both should be waterproof and long lasting even in Florida, so you shouldn't have to worry about that.
The All Natural Face makes gel liners in pots (just under $5) and tubes ($5.75). I ordered one in Twilight to try it out but haven't gotten around to it yet. So I can't really speak to the quality but it does look very creamy and nice in the pot--I just rarely use eyeliner.
I used the mac n the bobby brown but hands down I love the maybelline one second choice the l'oreal gel liner , I feel is shinier! I have both incase:)
I love MUFE Aqua Black Creme liner. It is so black and creamy. It glides on so easy. It's pretty pricey at $23 but it lasts forever. And it doesn't dry out.
Yeah, I've heard REALLY good things about MUFE's too, I don't know why I didn't obviously consider the aqua cream liner! Price isn't the issue BUT the Maybelline is also one I've read that regardless of price was comparable to others mentioned here on the department store price range. Gosh, thanks everybody for the input I totally appreciate it I'll post what I decide to go with when I decide, there seems to be more good choices than I was considering!!!
