i like to use Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black or Black Brown.
then i set it/go over it with the closest eyeshadow color to it that i can find.
then i put an eyeshadow that's translucent or closest to my skin color around the eye to prevent my eyeliner from smudging.
=D hope that helps.
i'm not the kind of person to buy high end eyeliners.
but if i could. i would. lol
