The photo above has nothing to do with what I’m about to talk about; you’ve been warned.
In my previous blog post, I mentioned how I’d gotten into make-up recently. Granted, I’ve only been focusing on my eyes, hence my fascination with eyeliners, but I don’t wanna get overwhelmed, so I’m taking it step-by-step.
A month ago, I started using eyeliners. I had been thinking about it for a while and I just finally decided to go for it. Thanks to a couple of amazing girls that I met, they introduced me the basics of applying eyeliners. Since then, I’ve been hooked. Ha!
I started off with a cheap, retractable Sephora eyeliner, then moved on to a liquid one, still from Sephora. Last week, on a whim, I decided to get myself Maybelline‘s Master Drama ultra black Khol liner, and Maybelline‘s Eyestudio Lasting Drama black gel eyeliner. I love these two products. The former stays on forever and the latter transfers easily. They’re also cheap.
Earlier this afternoon, I went to Sephora to get myself a concealer. I ended up buying another pencil eyeliner, this time from Urban Decay. I got the 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil (Perversion) — and let me tell you, it’s the best one I’ve tried so far. I think I’m sticking to it for a while. It just glides on and transfers so well. It’s also beautiful and creamy! It is expensive but it’s totally worth it.
Oh by the way, I did also buy a concealer from Make Up Forever. It’s called Full Cover Waterproof shade n° 12, and I also bought brush n° 226 from the same brand. Abso-fuckin-lutely flawless! It is pricey, but it’s an item I don’t mind spending on because the results are great! Needless to say, I made good and worthy purchases today. I can’t wait to expand my make-up horizon even more!
Do you use make-up? Any comments, suggestions, and recommendations?

For an amazing liquid eyeliner try Loreal Superliner.
It is so long lasting and the firm, sponge tipped pen is amazing for precision for any kind of look. I have used this one for years and can’t imagine changing!

Hey hey! I have tried that one and it really is good, but I find liquid eyeliners to be too precise. The lines are too sharp and too exact. It looks kind of obvious. But I’m probably gonna give L’Oreal Superliner another go when I get bored. Hehe…

Yeah it is a precise one!
If you’re at all into mascara the Loreal telescopic is by far my favourite!
I love your photos, your blog is my favourite Paris/photography blog and when I come to Paris next year in May I’d love to do a blogger collaboration!
