Thick or Winged Eyeliner (Updated w/pics)

**Updated with pics.  Clearly, I forgot to attach them, as I should have probably been in bed asleep not on blogger! LOL. Also, I found my stash of liquid eyeliners, I knew I had some.  They were in a box mixed in with eye pencils (not with my mascaras as I originally thought.**

Hey guys. Super quick post here. I had a friend ask me if she could do a super thick winged eye with a regular pencil eyeliner (as opposed to liquid eyeliner). In my personal opinion, I'm going to say no. First, if you're doing a thick eyeliner you're going to want to use a creamier pencil not a hard one, because that would be pretty painful to color in. The problem with using a creamier pencil is that you won't be able to get the best precision (likely) and it will very likely smudge, move, or smear. 

I personally am the worst at using liquid eyeliner, but I keep saying I'm going to practice more. I'm not a fan of those felt tip pen like liquid liners because I've found that for me they don't apply with even consistency, causing awkward application and streaky lines. I actually went to try it out with a pencil liner and realized that I don't have any liquid liner at all lol!  I've got to fix that problem. Instead I used my Mac fluid line, which is a gel eyeliner. It's kind of the best of both worlds. It's super creamy and even and dark. But it's also easy to apply since you use a brush, leaving less room for error (ideally). Anywho, it worked fine for me with the blacktrack, but with the pencil it looked horrid. Lol. The pencil smeared and I couldn't get the line or wing I wanted. So I'd def recommend liquid eye liner or at least a gel eyeliner. 

Also, don't judge my wing on the pics below I'm working on learning how to draw them. Especially since I think a neutral eye and heavy winged liner go great with a nice bold lip. It's late and I was just playing around. I will post more tutorials after I get my brows done this week. Nothing worse than pretty makeup and bad brows!


First pic: using MAC Fluidline.  Second pic: UD Perversion Eyeliner Pencil.  This was right after I applied both, and clearly the pencil smudged immediately and didn't really let me do a "wing". 

 

Urban Decay "Vintage" 24/7 Glide on Pencil in Deviant

In case you were unaware, Urban Decay recently reformulated it's old 24/7 glide on pencils with a new, creamier formula and new colors.  While some colors remain, Urban Decay launched "new" colors that would replace the old colors.  Long story short, in an attempt to get rid of all these "older" pencils, they are marked down to $9.50 at Sephora and Urban Decay online.  This is more than half the original selling price of $19, so if you've never tried the pencils out and would like to, I suggest picking up one of the marked down ones.  I think they may not be exactly like the "new" formula, but they are definitely a great pencil.  And the ones that are left are in fun shades!  There are currently six shades available at Sephora (Ransom-bright iridescent purple, Grafitti-bright green with silver sparkle, El Dorodo-gold, Lucky-deep copper, Lust-purple, Deviant-electric blue) and Urban Decay (1999-plum w/gold glitter, Binge-navy blue, Covet-peacock green, Crash-deep plum with silver sparkle, El Dorado, Deviant, Flipside-bright teal and  Grafitti). 

I picked up a Deviant from Sephohra when I picked up the Lorac Pro Palette. Again, these are fun colors, and a great purchase for those of you who would never pay $19 for a bright green or blue eyeliner!! I will say though, that if you aren't a fan of glitter, I'd be wary of these because Urban Decay's old everything was super glittery.
