  Pro Guide to Making Eyes
My eyeliner smears and leaves me looking like a linebacker. How can I keep it in place?

Cleopatra wouldn't go without eyeliner and neither should you! Modern technology has afforded us products that can literally wear for days without a smudge! (of course, we recommend you take your makeup off each evening).

Start with a shadow base like BeneFit F.Y. Eye to keep shadows and liners in place. Then choose a water resistant eyeliner like Make Up For Ever Color Liner or Bourjois Liquid Eye Liner.

If you prefer a softer, more subtle look, mix your favorite eye shadow with Paula Dorf Transformer. This solution instantly turns eye shadow into liquid liner. Just place a few drops into an eye shadow cover, dab a brush into the liquid, glide it along outer edge of the shadow, and then apply the mixture to the lash line.

Rich eye creams contain oils that break-down makeup, so switch to under eye gels like DDF Soothing Eye Gel when you wear makeup and only use eye creams at night.

And remember-any product will stay put if you top it with BeneFit SheLaq, a makeup sealant. Just brush this product over eyeliner, lipstick and brows to laminate the look.
