I just dip the brush in and carefully move it from the inner corner to the outer corner - it's pretty simple, since the Fluidlines are very smooth. For a cat eye, just drag it out some more and to the little tips. Hopefully that was somewhat helpful? =\

^thanks! that was helpful. i always thought you had to start from the outer corner. but that idea sounds more reasonable since when you end it always comes out pointier. anymore tips anyone?

Posting again, when applying to use like e/s base (or just plain e/s), I found the 242 quite good too.

i was thinking of getting 242 to apply barecanvas, can i use it to apply eyeshadow too? that would be fab!

If you want to apply a fluidline as if it were a paint/base, then absolutely yes. It was recommended to me by so many ladies for applying paints, so I thought hey, why shouldn't it work on fluidlines...

I use a cheap angled brush like MAC 266 for my fluidlines.
Are all fluidlines safe to use on the inner rims? anyone knows?

I use a small, angled artists brush I got for $3 at a local craft store.

Works like a charm.

I always use my MAC 266 brush

I like Quo's concealer brush for lining my upper lashline. Small, flat, tapered tip...
But for lower lashline I prefer a flat or angled liner like MAC #263. (somehow I just can't make angled liners work on my upper lashline...

I use #209. I tried #266 but I was too clumsy to get it to work with Fluidlines.

i love MAC fluidline!! they can stay throughout the day with tiny bit of smudging! but i m totally hopeless in applying it... i have seen ladies applying it real nice... yet when i tried to do it myself, i oways ended up with a thicker line or having to spend lots of time just to get a "perfect" line.

I'd like to know this too, I've only heard good things about fluidline but the only thing keeping me from buying it is that i havn't seen any evidence of this ''easy to apply'' thing and want to see how people do it and also i want to see clear pictures of it so i can see the finish and texture of it cos i love the finish and texture of pencil liners more usually.

It'd be great for the purposes of this tutorial if it showed the fluidline as the main focus on the eyes so we could see it properly, maybe once neutral coloured eyeshadow applied all over lid and then fluidline.

I really love using the fluidlines! I am surely not a pro at makeup and only recently was introduced to mac. I purchased the fluidline that is black with gold specks becuase they were out of regular black. It turned out fine because you can't even see the gold.

The fluidline is simple to apply. There are two brushes recommended and I chose the thinner one to help create a thinner line. I barely dip the entire width of the brush in the jar of fluidline. I apply the liner to my lid with my eyes open. I find I get it closer to the lashline this way. Starting in the middle of my lashline, I create the line moving down (towards my outer crease). Then I use what is left to tap on a thin line on the top of my lashline. I fade the innner line towards the inner crease by turning the brush into my lashes. This makes a soft line on the top of your lshline and a bolder more distinct line on the outer edges.

That's it. Simple huh. I used to be a pencil gal, but now I can't stop using the fluidlines! I still use a brown/black pencil on my bottom lashes becuase the fluidline is too bold. I'm sorry I didn't have pictures to post showing the proces, but I will soon. I really love fluidline and encourage you to try it. Don't be afraid, it'll look great!

Which Brush Do U Use?

I use an assortment of brushes-209,212,266-and I found that the best way to apply fluidlines is dab your brush into the formula and start at the outside of your eye. Using light feathery strokes bring the colour into the middle of the lid. Then start on the inside corner of your eye and using the same tachnique bring it in the the middle again. Fluidlines do dry quickly but you should have enough time to do this before it sets. The whole point of fluidline is that you don't need to redip because it is so buttery, like the name by pulling the colour along your line it should smooth out for you.
But like everything it does take practice and if you do mess up you can always blend it up.
I hope this helps(and makes sense).=)
