Tips for getting Smolder to LAST on the waterline?

[mdjmsj]

I have a problem-Smolder, and basically every other eyeliner, has a tendency to just disappear from my waterline! I don't rub my eyes and they aren't particularly watery so I have no idea why this is happening, but does anyone have any tips to prevent it? Thanks!

I found through random testing that the best thing to last on my waterline is either a)BB Gel Liner or b)Smashbox (or any other brand) cake liner.

I apply the cakeliner with this kinda brush:

Boots

It's a thick square eyeliner brush and for some reason when I use that with my cake liner, the liner doesn't budge. The cakeliner is an eyeshadow/liner so if you can't find a cake liner in your colour then just find a shadow but make sure it is matte.

I use carbon to set my eyeliner on my waterline. Makes it really dark and lasts for ages.

Another vote for setting with carbon...but the other thing, too, is remember that smolder is a kohl pencil, it's meant to smudge, so it doesn't have great staying power in the waterline anyway. You're better off with a power point pencil or fluidline (blacktrack and blitz'n'glitz stay forever on me), plus, you can layer a pencil over a fluidline, and that helps the pencil stay on longer, too. HTH!

I use a kohl pencil and then set with gel liner -- either MAC or BB... I find this sets the kohl too.

I set with beauty marked.. I know it sounds weird.. but the purples in beauty marked just look so pretty on top of smolder (or any black liner) on waterline.

I agree Smolder is not great for the waterline, no kohl is!
It's just too 'soft'
