Now I know why that stuff is so hard to get off, if I use too much it will also sometimes flake off like some kinda plastic.

I asked my MA and she says its not a good idea. However, i have done it before on rare occasion- with no problems. I do not suggest it though.

I'm so glad I read this! I have been using Fluidline on my lower lids for a week now! Yikes!

This actually just happened to me last week. It was pretty terrible...and my own fault. I sprayed a shot of hairspray directly into my open eye (how does that happen??? Even I don't know, and I'm the one who did it!!). I rinsed it out, but a couple of hours later I noticed that the skin by my tear duct was really sore. An hour after that, I felt a lump forming underneath the skin right there, right by my tearduct.

Thankfully, my guy remembered that he had gotten a splinter under his eyelid a few months ago (don't ask) and in the ER, they gave him antibiotic eye drops. I used them right away...and it got better after 24 hours. But to be honest...it hurt and bothered me enough I'd hate to find out what it'd have been like had I not had antibiotic drops right there, and had to wait to get in to see a dr. for a prescription.

I /do/ use fluidline on my waterlines...based on a ton of recommendations from this site, actually...because I couldn't find anything else that would stick there. While I'm a little dismayed that it's not actually recommended for use there...I'll likely keep using it like lots of you out there, since it's not that often I tightline. I'm not at all keen on trying the liquid lasts to tightline, though I do wish someone would come out with some liners that really work on the waterline and are safe for use there!

ive used brown liquid liner on my lower lash line for about .5 seconds, until it got in my eye, turned it brown (and then yellow for a little bit..) and stung horrifically! this was when i was younger but still..definitely is not a good idea..its especially terrible when (if) you can open your eye from all the stinging and see how nasty that looked!

not true. the powerpoints are not for the waterline. kohl, technakohl, and kohl powers are.

Let's try to remember:

Most "water-resistant" or "water-proof" products more than likely don't belong anywhere near "water" is produced, such as along the waterline/tearduct area.... unless specified for use in that area...such as technakohls...designed to work specifically in that area and such.

I wouldn't...unless you have eyes of steel!!


<--- has allergy eyes 12 months out of the year...wouldn't suggest it!!

i didn't know that liquidlasts aren't safe for lining the waterline, and i've done that twice i won't be doing that anymore. thank god nothing bad happened.

powerpoints not for the waterline? I always use the powerpoints... I think that would make me switch again to the lancome khol pencil, that is actually for use on the waterline and is also a great product, only those boring colours...

I use technakohls dipped in fluidlines
I know a lot of people who do.

Ive never had an issue with it
But then again you're talking to the girl who uses silver 3d on her eyes all the time, and that isn't approved either.

We all do things that people have warned us not to do
I definitely wouldnt use liquid last on yoru waterline though
that stuff is deadly once it dries.

In reference to stys and what not - my dad has a little glass tube instead of a draining tear duct due to a blockage of dust that caused a sty when he was in the army. He can whistle through it, blow milk through it and when he has a cold...it's disgusting.

So yeah. You do not want a sty.

I had a sty when I was in grade 7
It hurt and I hated it
its like this bump on your waterline thats very very itchy and annoying
it went away after like two days though.
but I never wore makeup back then so thankfully thats not what caused it
and since ive been wearing makeup ive never had one
ive been lucky in that regard.
