do you put the brush virtical, like up inbetween your lashes? Or horizontal like applying liner in the waterline?

While I don't use a brush, whenever I line my eyes for every day I do this. I had no idea it was special, I thought I was just putting my eyeliner in a different place. Sometimes it can sting if you slip, but liquid eyeliner works for me.

Heh...

I do a similar technique with my eyeliner...

I just use a pencil, angle it up in my eye socket, close my eye and drag the pencil from the inner corner to the outer corner of my eye.... This lines the upper waterline, as well as the location they were talking about regarding the "tightline"

I dont use any liner above my lashes, it doesn't look good on my eyes. But I can see a distinct difference in how my eyes look when i line the upper inside, and when I dont.

lovalotz, I wear contacts too yet I do tight lining. You should give it a try. It looks so much more natural than lining above lashes.

Would this be difficult to remove? That's the one thing I hate about eyeliner. You draw it too close to the lashline and you can't find out to remove it completely! Like completely-completely...

I don't think it's that much more difficult to remove than any other style of lining. Just get in there with a Q-tip. That's what I always do.

Yes, I agree. I've tried it before, but it sort of smears off after I blink too many times. Is it necessary to use waterproof eyeliner? That seems to smear also, and it's a pain to touch up.

I learned to tightline at the Laura Mercier counter about a year ago and I just love it. If you really want to tightline well, I would recommend the LM products suggested in the previously linked review of the technique.
I may be wrong, but I thought that LM was the one that "developed" the technique. The brush doesn't look like anything special, but it is just right for getting into the lashline. The cake eyeliners have amazing pigmentation and even with my contacts and eyedrops throughout the day, I haven't had any trouble with smudging. It does take a bit of practice, but it's an amazing technique that really makes small eyes look bigger - especially IRL and not a photo.
Although you can use a pencil or fluidline to line your waterline, it isn't really the same as tightlining because tightlining is lining in the lashline, not the waterline. In fact, I often use a Q-Tip to remove any of the line that may have migrated onto my waterline while I was tightlining. Using the LM products, I have had no trouble removing the tightlining with a gentle cleanser and water while washing my face at night.

these kohl is much easir than to line the entire eyes with the eye pencil it seems very painful while these kohld when u line the eyes with it (while ur eyes are closed) it lines the uper and bottom lashes its so nice am using different brand but this is what i found while searching
Their stuff seems interesting but then i was wondering whats in it beacuse they keep on saying cooling herbs? their stuff doesnt seem like its approved by FDA for eye use. Plus i didnt like where it said to apply black eye smudge to a new born baby?
