technacolor eyeliners.. staying power?

[ll*sugar]

how's the staying power for these eyeliners? especially for the waterline

i've been looking for an eyeliner that stays on the waterline for a LOOOONGG TIMEE.. i mean not even fluidlines work for me

anyways.. how do you guys like the liners?

 

[SugarstarMAC80]

The MA said they are wonderful on the waterline, I have yet to try it though.

 

[Glitziegal]

Have you tried Powerpoint liners. They have great staying power on the waterline.

 

[laa_cat]

That will rock if they stay on waterline! Powerpoint almost glides right off after i apply it. And Engraved isn't opaque enough for my liking. I tried fluidline on waterline but it makes my eyes stiff, not to mention I can never apply it smoothy on my waterline

Just picked it up last night and am wearing it today and so far not overly impressed. Bummer b/c I was really looking forward to these and they are also B2M-able. The MA at my counter said these had the best waterline staying power of any of the MAC products she'd tried and that Fluidline didn't work well for her at all on the waterline. I put mine on at about 9:30AM and reapplied at about 2:00PM. I am getting black eyeball boogers in the corners of my eyes. There is nothing right now on my waterline (3:30PM) but the eyeliner kind of "slid down" to my lashline and looks like I did an awesome tightlining job on my lower lashline, which would be nice if that's what I was going for.

I haven't tried Powerpoints yet but I think I might give them a try next and see how they work for me. Still on the prowl for a long-lasting waterline e/l - love to hear recs if anyone has 'em!

oh geeze and i was even about to head out today to get it.. ugh im so angry..

i thought this would be one of those "miraculous" products since there are already powerpoint liners.. so these technacolor ones must be something special or different.. well i'll never know until i actually try it but by the looks of it.. it probably won't stay on any longer than it stayed on for you.. and fluidline doesn't work for me at all either

I bought one yesterday in Graphblack, and applied it this morning around 7:00 am before work - I was so excited because I loved the look it gave... by 1:00 pm I went into the restroom to touch up my lipstick, and was horrified to see that I had the beginning of raccoon eyes. I was so embarrassed, and no one had even bothered to say anything. My everyday liner is a Fluidline, and I never ever ever have that problem with it... it stays put until I take it off at night. I'm so disappointed with this.

I will now only use it if I'm going out to dinner with my husband and know I'll be home in a few hours... no way would I wear this again for an extended period of time.

It's really a shame, because these glide on so smoothly and look gorgeous.

For those who have Technakohls, do you think setting it with eyeshadow would help its staying power?

 

[mjalomo]

I haven't tried eyeshadow, but my shadestick glided over it helped it last longer. I know it makes no sense that it does, but it makes my liner stay on all day long.

 

[Sanne]

It might just be me but I think these eyeliners are BOOOOORING!!! they have no shimmer or super special colors, and in my eyes the only thing that makes them special is that they're in one of those retractable pens. which means that you cannot sharpen these!! sorry I don't see the point in getting these

 

[dollbabybex]

the only reason i got these
is cos you can back to mac them
which is an upside
even if you have to reapply it

 

[pugmommy7]

i bought auto de bu and love the indigo color it gives. i played with it a bit last night, but haven't used it "for real".
I got it as an exchange and don't have the heart to return it again if i hate it soooo.... i may try it as a smudged top lid liner. maybe it is just the heat?
but fluidliners and powerpoint don't seem to migrate on me. h/e fluidliners do not work well as a waterliner on me, they seem to drift off in flecks.
I can live without waterlining though. perhaps this will work as a lower lid liner with setting powder directly below....sounds like a lot of work for little payoff

 

[ccarp001]

darn it! i was so excited about these! : (



***edited 8/14/06
i tried these at my counter on the back of my hand and they wiped right off!! totally disappointing!!

 

[Winthrop44]

Hmmm....this is disappointing to hear. How are they as a smudged upper lid liner as compared to, say, the kohls (which have zero staying power on me!)?

 

[pugmommy7]

looks pretty good, but use a pencil brush and work quickly as they do seem to set a bit.

Nope - not for me. I am in the Seattle area where the temperatures have been very mild, plus I spent all day yesterday in an air conditioned office and it still migrated.

I agree. So far I'm not impressed. I'm going to give it one more chance but I have a very strong feeling I'll be making a return on this product. I'm so bummed about these!

 

[User67]

I was worried that I was missing out on these, but obviously not. I'm glad I didn't waste any money on them. I'll stick to the Fluidlines ; )

 

[asnbrb]

Okay, I think I'm in the minority here because I LOVE these liners. Granted all liners migrate on me (even fluidliners WITH she-laq), but these have done so the least out of all the liners that I tried. I went out barhopping last night and rimmed my eyes in Graphblack with Smoothblue right underneath and it only left the slightest smudge on me. I'm IMPRESSED.

 

[pugmommy7]

SAVE YOUR MONEY!
I love the color of auto de blu, then i went over it with pompous blue- orgasmic!!,...sadly, 30 minutes,(yes, i said 30 minutes

),later my undereye area had a semicircle of teal that was impossible to get off

! I had to use a q-tip with eyemakeup remover.( i assumed it would have been oily hence the migration, but no, it was just stuck there till i got home.

I am so bummed.

It gets one last chance with she-laq over it,but that is only because the color is so great. To me it is a true peacock/indigo,not navy at all. like the darkest teal. I wish i would have had time to do a before and after fotd to show it.*(oddly, it did stay on the waterline! but migrated also).

 

[joraye]

I admit, it stayed better than my f/l or ppt pencil would, but it just all creeped towards my lashline and of course, bird poop (eye boogers) prevailed.

i dont know if i have extremely watery eyes or what, but i cant get anything to stay on my waterline anymore, and i cant line my upper/lowers for crap....I think i am destined to always be the girl with crappy eyeliner looks.
