Really, you need...

...an eyeliner brush! How I lived without this tool for so long I have no idea. I've long been a fan of wetting an eyeshadow applicator (yes, the cheap foam ones, don't laugh) and using wet, dark eyeshadow to line my eyes. This gives a thick smudgy line that I am quite fond of.

However. I got an actual eyeliner brush this weekend just to see what all the fuss was about. I'll tell you, to my amazement, this brush gives the most crisp, beautiful, liquid-liner-like line I've ever seen. Wet the brush and use it with any eyeshadow and you have a virtually unlimited array of liner options.

Since I'm on a tight grad student budget, I bought a cheap drugstore brush, Studio Basics brand, for $2.99. But my local Aveda makeup artist highly recommends Aveda's version, $19.00.

And P.S. - I was just on Aveda's website and they have free shipping on all orders today, 4.28.08.

I totally agree! I bought a brush from Dior after having my makeup done. At first I thought the rep was just trying to sell me as much product as possible but now I don't why I didn't already own one. The eyeliner brush gives me a perfect line every time, it's amazing!
