Emily I am really concerned for you. NO eye pen in your makeup bag? Go to Boots directly and get one! One just for your makeup bag. And if you tell you only have one lipstick in there, I'll probably faint.

this should make you feel better.

Could never *cough8 wear eye liner with contact lenses though!

Has any of the "eye liner" users here ever considered having eye liner "tattooed" on ?

It seems a little extreme but would YOU do it?

I used the, then current, Mrs. Blast's hairspray prior to a Love & Rockets gig at the QMU c.86.
That is my only concession to accessorizing.

get a girl to show you.
if she's the right kind of girl, you might have to guard your honour when she sees you in it, though.

Now there's the problem.
Where in gods name do I find such a girl?

Around here I would have to go 20 years back I think.

but thanks anyway

Ok here you go.

Get a kohl eye pencil. Black.
Shut the eye you are going to line, and pull the eyelid taught .
Start at the outer edge of your eye and draw the pencil across your lid very close to your lashes. The more blunt the tip of the pencil the wider the line you'll get. Now, get something to smudge it. You can use a cotton swab, or like me, I use a cosmetic wedge. to smudge just go over the line you have drawn until it has blurred and does not look like a pencil line. Reapply pencil and smudge until you get the look you want. Practice makes perfect.

There you go. Lined eyes like that pic of Ville above.

Or you could just ask Ville how he does it.

aaaghhh i left the sodding makeup bag at home. i have bag eyeliners (pencil and liquid), and a bathroom one, and special ones... but none with me today! and thats just the black ones. never mind red pink blue yellow grey green etc.
2 lipsticks this time. black and gold. normally i am just a dark eyes no lippy for work though. makes me look kinda pouty, actually... not intentional.

@ Emily, thank god you have more than one lipstick. LOL I generally have 2 lipsticks, 2 lip pencils, 3 glosses...and for me it's brown liner in my makeup bag.

i forgot the brown.... i have one transparent lip liner. it saves carrying loads round. mascara powder pencil sharpener hairclips.. the bags only marginally bigger than the quick reply box down there!
