This isnt a new product but I just discovered it, thx to a friend! Its a matte-black (comes in other colors tho) powder cake liner that needs to be mixed with water to a usable consistency in the pan with a flat liner brush.
It gets applied to the upper lash "tightline" area to make lashes look fuller and eyes more defined - much more full looking than just using a pencil liner and more natural looking than a liquid or gel liner. There's a learning curve to avoid having it transfer to the lower lash water line. Drying the tightline of the eyes before applying and then TRYING to avoid blinking while the liner dries is my trick.
A separate Activator is available but the LM girl discouraged me from using it, and reviews arent good for it. I use water and it works fine for mixing to a creamy paste.
From the LM website:
"tightline cake eye liner
An easy-to-use, cake eye liner that delivers long-lasting colour payoff that doesn’t fade throughout the day for flawlessly defined eyes. Applied with Laura's artistic technique using the Flat Eye Liner Brush begin underneath the root of the upper lash line and wiggle the brush between individual lashes.

| I'm a huge fan of tight-lining because whenever I tried to put eyeliner on the top of my lashes I could never get it straight plus it made me look "hard". Tight-lining gives a much softer, more professional look - and it's easier to do. I used to use a gel liner but I recently purchased the new Sephora pencil liner and it's even easier to apply. It's quite soft but has great staying power. |

I've been tightlining for a few years. I first read about it in Sandy Linter's book "Wake Up Make up". She's a makeup artist and if memory serves she recommends black for anyone. She is reasonably fair in coloring as are many of the 'older' women in her book. It's a nice guide for make-up for women well over 40.
Recently I've been using an Almay liquid liner and I also have the Sephora twist-up liner. I do like Laura Mercier products so may have to give this a go. Thanks for all the suggestions. Tightlining is a nice look. (subtle yet has impact). |

Great bethany so glad you like it too!
Hey Sis! The SA told me that the Activator bottle dries up fast, leaks and makes the cake hard so that you cant go back and forth b/t using it and water. ie, if you start using Activator you have to stick with it on the same cake. Dunno, didnt try it. I didnt check out MUA reviews - maybe they know.
But Im a lazy girl and I also use LM Kohl Extreme Liner. Its a twist up stick liner that is for the waterline and lashlines. I use it on the tightline now too ... because Im ... lazy! Doesnt smudge, stays on fine, no brush needed. Altho I do use a LM pointed liner brush to wiggle it into the lashes and wing it up at the outer corners. |

| I recently bought the bleu marine color from LM and I totally love it. I've used it everyday since I got it. I've had no problems with movement onto other areas. |

Hi Bethany,
I too use the BB gel liner for tight lining now and think it is the best for this purpose. I put mine on this morning and it's still on with no smudging.
I've tried the UD pencil mentioned above, but found it too soft, crumbly, and it didn't last. Once the Bobbi Brown gel is on and set, it has excellent staying power. Of course, you have to have that sweet Ultra fine eye-lining brush too! It's one of my favorite brushes in my collection since you can do a fine or thicker line with it. Michelle Phan recommends that if you are new to tight-lining, to practice short strokes with the brush on the inside of your arm and then once you can get nice line that way, you're ready to tight-line your eyes. I have fair skin and green eyes and usually use a dark brown shade like caviar, or twilight (a midnight blue).Tight-lining should be close enough in color to just make your lashes look thicker, Also, it's fine to dot it in at first if you can't get the line right, then smudge the dots. HTH someone. |
