Napoleon Perdis China Doll Liner is...

freaking awesome. For anyone that doesn't know, it's a gel liner. Ibought it instead of fluidline because u get more than double the product for roughly the same price, and I'm happy with it. I'm still a bit of a noob with it, seeing today was my first time, and i wasn't sure how much product to use. But it lasts ages, doesn't smudge...it will NOT COME OFF.

miracle gel liner!

I know! Awesome huh? Just make sure you keep the lid on it so it doesn't dry out, then it's a bitch (but if it does, drop a bit of baby oil in it and that helps).

YES. creme liners/shadows can be gay like that. take care of them, they're a great investment. I've had my creme shadows for three years with no problems!

and it doesn't take too much of any creme product - a little always goes a long way!

Oooh, I always look but never buy with Napoleon. It's the girls that work there that put me off >.< There is such a thing as too much foundation, girls.

Their colour discs are pretty. And I haven't yet expanded into gel liners, but I may do with this. That's a lot of product for $40 odd.

It cost me $30.

And now I'm having a bit of a problem. Maybe it's because I suck, but the two times I've used the liner i found it took quite a bit to get a thick dark exact line. Should I be using it with a damp brush or something? For reference, I'm using the MAC 209 eyeliner brush, which is also brand spanking new.

generally you dont wet the brush, but you could. I dont like putting water in my cosmetics because bacteria can build up. get a clean mini spatula, put a little creme in the lid of the container, and use a damp brush to see what you get. this way, it doesn't bother the rest of your creme. :]

and hopefully you dont mind me editing your post,
didnt want the link to make the page all extra long, so I just put "miracle gel liner" for your link

lol of course not...I tried to do that but i suck

Hmm...it just annoys me it doesn't go on in one swipe.

I always dampen my brush for gel liner and it helps mine go on better, so you could try it and see.

Awesome Lindsay I'm glad someone else does it! Thanks everyone!

When I use the china doll eyeliner, I draw on the line with a thiner brush then go over with another one (general eyeshadow bursh... I don't know the names of any mac ones or anything - I suck) to smudge it/make it thicker...

Dunno if that helps, i'm tired and talking crap! lol.

Woo! Today i used it a bit damp and it was a million times better. Then I went over it with my golden sparkle filled black Fyrinnae shadow wet and it was like rawr intense and cool. Thanks girls!

POST PICTURES. I wanna see more of your pretty face in the makeup picture thread. And you have lots of Fyrinnae, which I am looking at buying, and need to see it on a girl of similar colouring.

*is not a creepy old man perv*

I'll try! I just tend to look horrible in makeup photos.

i bought gel eyeliner thingies, but whenever i try to put it on over shadow, it just picks up the shadow?


halp!!

i guess it could be because it was super cheap but hurr.

maybe i will have to blow cash again

Liner shouldn't do that o.O Not that I've ever used gel liner, but... Yeah, it's probably just a bit cheap. I used a random Aussie brand liquid one that did a similar thing, just moved the eyeshadow around and made a big streaky mess instead of a line.

i shall ahve to find a more expensive one

i ended up using some of my powder shadows wet as a liner instead

Yesterday I had WAY too much sparkly shadow on and my brush picked it up too, so I don't think it was just because it was cheap. Maybe it wasn't full of enough eyeliner/too dry? I don't know, next time I'll try it with a damp-er brush.

ok when the napoleon girl did my makeup today, she scooped out a ittle onto the back of er hand, and then warmed it up a little with her brush.

it went on fine for her ^.^

on me that is

and she was even nice for a change! woo for nice people!

also-

how gorgeous is the inside of the box?
im keeping it and pinning it to my notice board

Omg i know. It's beautiful. I wish that was my room's wallpaper.

Omg I did it they way they did it on you lil, by putting it on the back of my hand first, and sorta warming it up, and it went on dark and sexy and awesome. Thanks lil!

yay!

it also works for me if i like, breahte on my brush so its warm?

hehe wierd!

neverr do that. gets germs into the brush, and your liner [thats on your hand], and if you dip it in that jar...

badness ensues. ;-;

:O

thanks!

*pats eyes*

im going to go clean my brush now!

n.n!!

and when you use it on your hand, just use hand sanitizer real quick like. to be SUPER sure! Im always paranoid about germs, I wash my hands a lot during the day. ;-;

yeah im gonna buy some hand sanitizer when i go bra shopping
