I love wearing eye liner (pencil rather than liquid), and it looks really good when I head out for the night, but then half way through the night I start getting black rings around under my eyes. So instead of looking hot, I look like a panda or someone who went to bed in their makeup!

Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?

Thanks.

dont put moisturiser too close to your eyes, that might be why its running.  If its because you are sweating try a waterproof brand

and also maybe a bit of foundation will help it last a bit longer.

Cheers. I don’t use moisturiser, so can’t be that.  I dont think it is from sweating either. Maybe I need a different eye liner?

You can get waterproof eyeliners that will seriously stay put for the night without smudging and are easy to get off with makeup remover. I know brands like Lancome have but have a browse around Farmers or Life Pharmacy and I’m sure you’ll find one! x

You could use a foundation first for a base before you apply your eye liner or a eye primer .Or after you apply your pencil eyeliner get a small brush and apply black eye shadow on top of where you applied your eyeliner to make it last longer

Try putting on some powder as that may help the eye liner to stay on for longer, also getting a waterproof one isn’t a bad idea.
