Works For Me: Liquid Eyeliner

I posted about the Great Eyeliner Crisis of 2007 over six months ago on a WFMW Backwards Edition.  Several of you suggested I try waterproof liquid eyeliner. 

And my life has been changed.

Or, more specifically, the part of my life that involves my eyelids. 

But still, it's significant.

For the first time ever I'm wearing eyeliner without doing raccoon eyes, even on days I wear my contacts.  No smudging!  And I've even been using a cheap brand (Maybelline) with great results.

It's taken me a few months to get good at applying it.  I had a few days of looking like Ozzy Osbourne before I figured it out.  The real key is to apply it not by painting it in a straight line, but applying it a series of tiny little dots.  The line goes on thinner that way.

I thought about taking a picture of my eye to show you the results, but then I decided that would be the weirdest thing I've ever done in my life.  So I reconsidered.
