I don’t really even fuck with eyeliner but about faces smoke sticks are different! They’re double ended a creamy liner on one end a sponge powder eyeshadow on the other I use both im not a big liquid person BUT haus labs does have like the definitive one
it gives a softer look than liquid liner - i have it in brown. when you first put it on you can smudge/soften it, i usually use my finger or an angled brush depending on the look i want, and then it dries pretty quickly and lasts a long time. plus huda beauty has been very vocal in supporting palestine which is cool! 🍉
and i also like the elf expert liquid liner in jet black if i want something sharper (which was already rec’d here but i’m seconding). it’s not smudge-able. the elf liner is a lot cheaper price-wise
(also both brands are cruelty free yay 🐰💞 !!)
The staples are a Laura mercier Smokey eye palate that I got in 2016, a brown jay manuel lip liner (same era) that I use as eye liner, sometimes the dr jart cicapair stuff if my face looks red, and either some soap or clear glossier boy brow for the brows. Mascara sometimes, and some sort of lip If it works with my outfit, but mainly just this sort of messy Smokey undereye and some sort of eyeshadow sometimes (applied with my finger) depending on the rest of my look…and sometimes a white accent (nyx liquid white eyeliner). No foundation ever. These photos are both the dolled up version, usually it’s just the brown lip liner as eyeliner lol
