June 26th, 2012 by Karen 49 Comments

Just a few shots of the new Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Liner in Deep Teal ($22) from the new Cinema Noir collection.

I used Laura’s Flat Liner Brush ($22) to apply.

    I have this in black, but I’m really digging the teal. Sonia Kashuk has a similiar flat eye liner blush that I found at Target last year and it works great!

      Hi Ruchita,

      I haven’t tried Sonia’s Flat Eye Liner yet. I’ll have to make a note to pick it up! Have you tried her Bent Brush? It’s awesome.

        I don’t have the Bent Brush, but I do remember you posting about it before. I will make sure to add it to my list.

          It’s really great for super skinny lines. It’s also very soft, which I love. 🙂

          I’m so picky about my flat brushes…does your SK do the thing where the bristles separate after it gets wet? My MAC one used to do that, which is why I ditched it.

            The SK one has really stiff bristles that stay in place. I just washed it the other day and it still kept its shape.

            Ok, cool. It looks like I’ll have to make a Target stop for that brush and the smudger brush than Shannon recommends below. LOL, not that I need more brushes…they’re just so nice to have!

            I kept on looking at those mineralized blushes and eyeshadows but I know id never use them since they make my eyelids/cheeks itch so … MSFs it was!

            I *think* I might get the Charged Water Cleanser though. I need to change my makeup remover and it seems like a nice alternative!

    You’ve winged it out perfectly! Never used cake liners before, do you prefer these over gel liners?

      Hi Ankita,

      I like both. 🙂 To be honest, it really depends on what’s within reach. I think cake liners offer slightly more control, and they make it easy to get that nice wing at the end.

    Looks a little like MAC Midnight Blues fluidline. I like it! 🙂

    I don’t know if you read the Monday Poll from last week, but my boyfriend and I broke up two weeks ago. I moved back in with family, and they won’t let me keep my cats. 🙁 I have to find a temporary home for them.

    If anyone in the NYC area can foster 2 cats, or knows someone who can, contact me. Just click on my blog link (my name) and leave a comment.

      Hi Soo Jin,

      I know what you mean. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut of regular liner colors. This teal should add some spice to your lineup!

      Have you worn cake liners before? They’re really great.

    Karen, have you tried the Sonia Kashuk Smudge Brush for tightlining? I really like it – I feel like it packs on the color really well.

      I hope you do! If you don’t have a go-to teal yet, then this will be your new fave. 🙂

      Thanks for showing me the SK Smudge Brush. I haven’t tried it yet! How are the bristles? Are they nice and soft?

        The bristles aren’t bad, but I have noticed that they have started to get a bit more pokey than they were initially (I probably bought it about a year ago).

      I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel like I really have to pack the teal on to see it. This one has so much intensity! It should look great on your skin.

      Have you tried Laura cake liners before? They’re kind of amazing!

          How funny, I most often use her non-standard colors like purple, blue, etc. That black shade is great though! Especially on the waterline. What brush do you use to apply?

    That’s it, I think I’m going to have to grab one of the cake liners now. I’ve been curious about them for a while–but I have been using MUFE’s Aqua Black cream shadow to tightline and have been happy with it, so I hadn’t given in…until now. I just hope it will be as dark at my lashline as the Aqua Black

      Hi Lulle,

      It’s a powder that you apply with a wet brush. I usually use MAC Fix+. You can wear it on both lash and waterlines! 🙂

    This looks great on you but the thought of doing that is making my eyes water. I have enough trouble on the few occasions that I tightline with a pencil. I can’t imagine the eye trauma if I tried it with a brush. Must stop thinking about it. Tearing up. 🙂
