Olen t\u00e4ss\u00e4 jo jonkin aikaa yritt\u00e4nyt l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 itselleni t\u00e4ydellist\u00e4 silm\u00e4nrajausainetta. Koen sopivan l\u00f6yt\u00e4misen kamalan vaikeaksi. Kyn\u00e4rajaukset ovat ohuelle iholleni liian kovia ja piirt\u00e4minen on hankalaa koska iho liikkuu kyn\u00e4n mukana. Nestem\u00e4isiss\u00e4 on usein liian ohut ja l\u00f6rpp\u00e4 sivellin joka tekee suttaista j\u00e4lke\u00e4 ryppyisell\u00e4 ja paperimaisella iholla (jollaista silm\u00e4luomieni ihosta on ik\u00e4v\u00e4 kyll\u00e4 nyt alkanut tulla kun ik\u00e4\u00e4kin on tullut lis\u00e4\u00e4)<\/strong><\/span>. Vahamaiset on helppo levitt\u00e4\u00e4 kun siveltimen\u00e4 voi k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 omaa suosikkisivellint\u00e4, mutta raskaalla ja rasvoittuvalla luomella (kuten minun)<\/strong><\/span> ne suttaavat helposti ja siirtyv\u00e4t ripsien tyvest\u00e4 luomien yl\u00e4osiin.<\/p>\n

Tussik\u00e4rkisiss\u00e4 rajauksissa on napakka ja tarkka sivellin ja ne on helppo levitt\u00e4\u00e4 mutta muiden nestem\u00e4isten rajausten tapaan ne saattavat varista p\u00e4iv\u00e4n mittaan. Geelim\u00e4iset toimivat muuten hyvin mutta ne saattavat helposti vuotavissa silmiss\u00e4ni levit\u00e4 helposti ymp\u00e4ri silmi\u00e4. Varsinaisia vedenkest\u00e4vi\u00e4 rajauksia karttelen koska niiden puhdistaminen on hankalaa. Ostin erehdyksess\u00e4 vedenkest\u00e4v\u00e4n ripsarin joku aika sitten ja sekin on menossa vaihtoon koska edes vedenkest\u00e4v\u00e4n meikin puhdistusaine ei sit\u00e4 kunnolla puhdista.<\/p>\n

Olen parilta yst\u00e4v\u00e4lt\u00e4 saanut vinkki\u00e4 ett\u00e4 MAC’n geelim\u00e4inen Fluidline-rajaus toimisi hyvin. Helppo levitt\u00e4\u00e4, ei suttaa ja lis\u00e4ksi peseytyy helposti pois. MAC’n tuotteita ei saa Tampereelta kuin tilaamalla Stockalle mutta extempore-Tallinnan reisulta se l\u00f6ytyikin n\u00e4pp\u00e4r\u00e4sti Kaubamajasta. Ensimm\u00e4inen koek\u00e4ytt\u00f6 on takana ja sen perusteella vaikuttaa lupaavalta. Tuulisella laivan kannella vuotaneet silm\u00e4t eiv\u00e4t ainakaan saaneet meikki\u00e4 levi\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n pitkin naamaa, joka toki on aina yht\u00e4 kaunista katsottavaa (NOT!)<\/strong><\/span>. Hommasin samalla kertaa my\u00f6s MAC’n oman rajaussiveltimen. Olen varmaan perfektionisti mutta minulta l\u00f6ytyy rajaussiveltimi\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n joka merkilt\u00e4 eik\u00e4 oikein mik\u00e4\u00e4n tunnu toimivan kovin hyvin. Monet niist\u00e4 ovat aivan liian pitki\u00e4 ja l\u00f6ps\u00f6j\u00e4 omaan makuuni. Paras t\u00e4h\u00e4n menness\u00e4 on ollut Bobbi Brownin lyhyt ja napakka, litte\u00e4 sivellin. Sit\u00e4 olen k\u00e4ytt\u00e4nyt viimeiset viitisen vuotta.<\/p>\n

Katsotaan miten t\u00e4m\u00e4 MAC’n kombo l\u00e4htee toimimaan, k\u00e4ytt\u00f6kokemuksia siis tulossa l\u00e4hiaikoina. Kirjoitin my\u00f6s meikkituotteiden valinnasta t\u00e4m\u00e4n viikon Tamperelaiseen<\/a> (29.8.2012)<\/strong><\/span>. Olen hommannut muutakin meikkitarviketta loman aikana joten siit\u00e4kin tulossa postausta pikapuoliin. Pysyk\u00e4\u00e4 siis kuulolla.<\/p>\n

I have been trying to find myself perfect eyeliner for quite some time now. I find it very hard thing to do. Eyeliner pencils are way too hard for my skin and drawing the line is difficult because the skin moves with the pencil. Liquid liners quite often have very thin and floppy brush that makes uneven and messy line on my wrinkly and paperlike skin (which my eyelids unfortunately have started to be like, now when I’m getting towards the other side of 40)<\/strong><\/span>. Waxliners are easy to spread with any favourite brush of yours, but on heavy and greasy eyelids (like mine)<\/strong><\/span> they tend to make a mess and transfer from lashline on the upper parts of the lids.<\/p>\n

Felttip liners are easy to apply because they have sturdy and precise tip, but like other liquid liners, they might go too dry during the day and shed on cheeks. Gel liners work nicely, but they might smudge due to my runny eyes. I try to avoid waterproof liners because they are so difficult to wash away. Some time ago I accidentally bought waterproof mascara and I have to replace it soon because it doesn’t wash away even with the cleanser for waterproof make up.<\/p>\n

Couple friends of mine recommended the MAC Fluidline. It’s a gel liner, it’s not supposed to smudge and it still washes away easily. MAC products are available in Tampere only if you pre-order them from Stockmann, but on our off-the-cuff Tallinn-trip I was able to find it in shopping center Kaubamaja right next to our hotel. First test use is now done and based on that Fluidline seems promising. My eyes were runny again, on the windy deck of the ferry, but the make up didn’t make a mess around my face, which is always such a treat to see (NOT!)<\/strong><\/span>. I also got myself MAC liner brush. I must be perfectionist but I have several different brushes for just applying liners, but none of them seems to work as I would like them to. Many of them are way too long and floppy for my taste. Best so far has been Bobbi Brown brush, short, sturdy and flat. That I have been using for about five years now.<\/p>\n

Let’s see how this MAC combo is now going to work, so user experience posts are coming up later. I also wrote about choosing make up products in our local newspaper<\/a> this week (unfortunately in finnish..)<\/strong><\/span>. I did buy some other make up products on my holiday, so more cosmetic posts coming your way soon. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
