Has anyone used the 212 with fluidlines? I need something to do a finer line (266 just didn't work for me), and I was looking at that one, or at 209. Has anyone used both? If so, which did you prefer?

the 266 or 209 i've heard from people. i don't use fluidlines myself (**shock horror**) but i've heard from other boards and this one too that the 266 and 209 are the best ones aroud to use

208 or 266...both work very well.

Which gives the FINEST most natural line and ease of use? My eyes are tiny so i need a very very thin line or else it'll look too much.
Pictures of art store ones that give very very thin line are also welcome.

my CVS essence of beauty angled liner works extremely well!

When I use the 266 it gets feathery and smeary. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Someone posted a suggestion in the tutorial (under a thread requesting a tutorial for the liner) involving starting from the outer portion and going to the middle. Then finishing from inside to middle.

I use a liquitex (art store brush) round size 00 or 000 brush for this, and it works perfectly. Any round, 00 or 000 size synthetic brush should work.

Bumping as i am so on the fence for Fluidline and need something to give me a push. If anyone could post a picture tutorial then i might be swayed.

I am a pretty klutzy person and I can still do the fluidline okay. It took some practice at first but there are 2 things that I think are really important when applying it:

1. The brush. Get a thin pointy brush. I use the 210 (d/c but similar to the 209). I really recommend getting a MAC brush for this, as they are really resilient and firm.

2. Do it in mostly one smooth stroke. The best way I know to explain this is like, try to draw a circle on paper. If you draw it in one stroke, you get a pretty good circle, but if you try to draw it in segments, like draw a little bit, stop, then try to pick the line back up and make it look smooth, it looks like crap. So I start on the outside of my lashline, and do one fluid stroke to the inner corner. I usually stop just short of the inner tip of my eye, and then finish it off from the inner corner heading back toward the outside of my lashline.

But the most you can do in one stroke, the smoother it will be.

I bought this stuff for my sister who had never used any kind of liquid eyeliner or an eyeliner brush before and she did it perfect the first time.

i love 266... that brush works best for me and the line comes out thin and pretty straight. im an ass with liners but with 266 it's sooo easy for me!!!

I bought the Blitz and Glitz fluidline and the 209 brush today, and I was very surprised at how easily this is to use. I'm completely useless at applying liquid liner of any kind, and this was very easy. I made a mess of applying Smashbox's cream liner...I could never get it "just right." But the fluidline is very smooth and easy to apply. And I think the 209 brush is fanatastic, and a big part of the reason that I can apply this so easily.

Just like others have said, I start from the outside of my lashline. I think it's easier to make one sweep across the lashline.

BB Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush

I love the lipliner brush, #311 for fluidlines along the top lashes. (Or Quo's concealer brush!) For tightlining the lower rim, I prefer #263.

It goes on really easily. I know a lot of girls here recommend 209 but as long as if you already own a slanted eyeliner brush, it should work fine.

i bought the 209 with my fluidline... and i cant get it to work at all, the line i get is huge...
i think the slanted would be much better (that is what i use when i paint)

stacey · 11-09-2005, 01:36 PM #67 (**permalink**)

i use the 231 brush.

I know there are many of you who periodically use your Fluidlines as a base for your shadows... but which the heck brush do you use? Thanks!
