It really doesn't make a lot of sense, does it... but small communitites and nepotism seem to go hand in hand.

I too checked out that makeup approach in a half-arsed way, just to experiment, and think it could work provided I do the lining on the waterline - which skeeves me. Did you use actual liquid liner on the waterline? Spooky.

I went through a waterline lining phase about, uh, 25 years ago, using a pencil. It was OK. I am more squeamish about my eyes now though. Maybe I need kohl and one of those little sticks?
