I want to know what happened to the Crayon Style "soft Kohl black inner eyeliner" of yesteryear?You can see in this article that the inner eyelid is/has been blackened, with what???For sure its not liquid eyeliner only good for the outer lid???? Every pencil today is so d n skinny you could poke your eyeball out trying to line this part, cost is important now a days as well, they are not half as useable with these thin narrow pencil type..they do not apply with one sweep to lower or upper..not like the Kohl crayon style. I used to go to flea markets and swap meets and buy them for 50 cents and later for one dollar each..bdoll@cutey.com

This is a good tutorial for beginners but other than that I wasn't entirely impressed. Why are people even bothering with her eyebrows? This tutorial is for eye liner, not eye brows.

I find older woman should not use shimmery eyeshadows...Hello?! I would also recommend a good eyeshadow base to keep everything in its place, I use liquid eyeliner and pencils, depending on my mood and find that liquid can be trickier to work with than pencil as mistake are harder to "fix" without starting over.

That was not that informative, she gets paid for that? Also going with darker colors so that we could see better would have been a great idea! Watch QVC when they have a makeup show on...or any other and they give you great tips and ideas.

This is a good tutorial for basic usage of liquid liner - not a simple task. As for cream or powder eyeshadow I think the weather where you live has something to do woth your choice that is why I use powder with the heat here.

Its great for beginners learning how to use liner. I understand the eyebrows aren't all that great but the name calling is uncalled for. Respect

Apparently most of my post got lost- I have a huge problem with this tutorial, as 3 out of the 12 pages don't show up. Her inner eyelid hasn't been treated with kohl, she has made sure to get that eyeliner in between her lashes. Her Mucosa (the inner eyelid you mention) are clean as can be. Back to pencils, every brand makes them from $1.50 to 35$. You just have to look and ask.
