Feline Kohl Power

[j_absinthe]

For those who are saying it's too smudgy (not on the waterline, just in general) have you tried putting a bit of setting powder on it and then topping it off with another layer of Feline? It works whenever I'm using eyeliner that's a bit too unruly.

 

[styrch]

this is the only Kohl Power I didn't purchase (because I have Smolder). Now I'm regretting it a bit. I wasn't as impressed with the other Kohl powers on my eyes as I was when I swatched them on my hand, but i I go for a straight black like Feline that still might be better. I hope so. With the other three the color doesn't show up as much as I'd hoped. Any tips on that?

I'm coming out of longtime lurking to mention how much I love Feline. I normally use Nightfish fluidline on my waterline only because it stays all day, even though it might not be the blackest black. I'm so tired of scribbling on my waterline just to get the color to sort of show up. Feline just glides right on, and it stayed all night for me. My MA did mention that it can smudge a little on the upper lash line, but I really don't care I love it so much. I'm going back for the rest of them soon and plan on getting a Feline backup when it comes out with McQueen.

damn, that's what I was afraid of! Now I want it SO BAD! hahaha.

^ Hahah, Specktra is the place to create new lemmings!

styrch, I seem to have that problem too- I only bought Orpheus, but it won't sit on my waterline. I wear it on my top lid only.

What about Raven? Has anyone swatched that? I'm thinking of purchasing raven and feline. Does raven have any sparkles?

Has anyone tried this technique:

1. Apply a neutral eyeshadow to the lid and under the lower lashline.
2. Apply your pencil.
3. Apply a dark shadow over the pencil.
4. Apply liquid liner over that.

I have Raven. It swatches pretty on the hand but the color doesn't show up as well on the eye. Here's a pic I took the other day... (yeah, kind of scary and messy but I hope it helps you).

Oh good. I was worried it was only me.

ive done that before, and my eyeliner actually stayed on for a looong ass time.. plus, it made the line look perfect too. i stopped because i realized i didnt have a black enough eyeshadow to go over the pencil, and when i added the liquid, it just showed up as a dark line, with a grey powder above it , so i def need to buy carbon or soemthing... and i thought i was using too much products just to create a line on my eye..lol

LOL...yeah. I would suggest using all black products if you are going to use this technique to create a black line.

For anyone interested....
Smolder Eye Kohl Pencil or Feline Kohl Power Pencil, Carbon or Black Tied (if you prefer that, I don't - LOL) and Boot Black Liquid Liner. I, personally, wouldn't use Blacktrack for this just because it's a gel and has a different texture from the liquid liner. I find that liquid liner just sets alot better on my skin.

I LOVE Feline! It is the most pigmented, sexy, glossy black. I love it. I finally got around to trying it today. I just got back from the gym and it stayed on pretty well.

The glossy black of Feline just brings up another MAC yearning I have had for some time. I would adore a dark, dark, deeply pigmented, veluxe pearl, glossy looking black ES. Hot.

Please excuse my stupidity but why use three different liners? I mean after I have put on f/l or whatever I will sometimes use some e/s on the outer part to add color but not use the same color. Can someone explain to me what I'm missing here?
Thanks

 

[sitasati]

I actually tried this technique today. My eyeliner looked very black and very perfect. I used some sublime nature paint, powerpoint in engraved, carbon e/s and some Loreal liquid eyeliner. I loved it.

I used engraved on my waterline too..

I guess it makes your liner stay on even longer.

The purpose of this technique is two-fold. It increases the intensity of your eyeliner and extends its wear.

oooh oooh i just got feline yesterday... and... it. is .. THE... BEST!!!!

 

[RoseMe]

How is the staying power of the feline? Does it have any noticeable gold or silver shimmer in it?

 

[vica]

no shimmer just BLACK BLACK .. i swatched it with all the other black eyeliners like smolder.. and it makes them look grey.. and as for the staying power, its not so great... i think its cuz the pencil is really soft so its oily but i dont care because its BLACK! lol.. i just line my inner lower lid with feline and pack on some carbon e/s and it keeps it from smudging

Thanks for this. I used this technique this evening, it looked fantastic, perfectly dark and defined. I did add another layer of e/s on top, I liked it better, it diffused the line and made it look slightly softer. I used Smolder, Nars Night Porter, and Boot Black.
