Make-up Question

Does anyone know of a good eyeliner that will really last and won't run in the corner of my eyes ? I also need to find a good light weight foundation that doesn't make my skin feel dry.

    I use Smashbox, the foundation and primer and it's pretty lightweight. I can't feel it when I wear it all day. I suggest you let the lady or guy (I had a sweet, and I mean sweet guy, help me with it.lol) let you try some on before you buy because it's about $30 a container. Too much to waste if you might not like it. I don't know about eyeliner. Hope that helps!

    I hghly highly highly recommend Bobbi Brown's gel liner.  You have to apply it with a brush but it isn't that hard.

    well...Makeup forever has one called aqua eyes and it's pretty good. Stila Kajal eyeliner is amazing as well. My recommendation is to put your liner on your water line as well as on your lash line and then brush a coat of black eyeshadow over it to set it so that it won't run. However, if you have a naturally moist eye you're going to have some leakage at times because it's just your eye reacting in it's natural form. Really try to run the black eyeshadow over the eyeliner. It helps, and it stayssorry..i'm a freelance mua in NJ so i know these things (FYI- not promoting myself AT ALL you dont know this about me)

    I use Prescriptives custom blend foundation. It's an exact match to your skin tone and they can make it as light or as heavy as you desire. Their eye liners are great, colors coordinate to you skin (red/orange, blue/ green undertones). I heard Mac has a good eye liner also.
