Eyeliner and oily skin - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I have oily skin and my eyeliner just disappears after a few hours. Being waterproof doesn't make a difference, it still goes away. I think I need oil-proof! Any ideas, girls?

I have the same problem. What I have found that works is before i apply any eye makeup, I dust a generous amount of loose powder around my eyes and on my eyelids. I then use Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner (stays put very well, even more so after I started doing the loose powder thing).

Be sure and use foundation on your eyelids. I also use a cream (not liquid) concealer on my lids and then dust with powder. I use eyeshadow for eyeliner and it stays on nicely.

I also have oily skin. I now use a waterproof liquid liner by maybelline and I love it! It doesn't look to harsh and stays put!

Good Luck!!

You could also try burning the end of your eyeliner with a flame, for a second or 2. This allows for the eyeliner to go on thicker and darker, and has more staying power.

You could also put the same color eye shadow on top of the eyeliner, to set it.
