Cream Liner help?

Post by ErinL » Thu Apr 16, 2015 8:51 am

I got Midnight and Amethyst cream liners in f/s. I have two different liner brushes--one from SN and one from EcoTools (or similar). I cannot get color payoff at all...I scrape and swipe and try to apply to my lid, and nothing is transferring. What am I doing wrong? :(

I actually have to use an angled eyeliner brush. Is yours one of the angled ones?

You many need to heat the liner up if it is cold. Someone else had the same issue too and she said that worked for her. I was trying to find the thread. Use your blow dryer to heal it up a little. HTH :)

One of the ones I tried, was an angled liner brush. :-/ Maybe it's not stiff enough?

Thanks for the tip, 4wheel! I will try that too. :-)

You also might need to break the surface with a clean toothpick or a clean pin in a short line. With my cream liners, I always had a pretty good 'trench' going to load product on the brush. Swipe with the line of bristles in the trench. it will be easier to load compared to swiping with the flat side of the brush. (I might need to draw a picture!)
