@Awesome Possum PUR makes a great one. But the key is priming under the eyes before you apply it and using a setting spray after.
My cousin Tina is a makeup artist, she works NY fashion week and stuff. She taught me all these cool tricks.
For example, most of the time you spend on eyeshadow should be blending it in with a clean brush. I would have never done that had she not told me, but it does help!

I don't wear any cosmetics at all. I have a terribly sensitive skin and get immediately pimpled like a teenager.
I do use a liitle hazelnut oil or almond oil on my lashes and eyebrows - it gives a nice sheen, deepens the colour a little and doesn't irritate the eyes. Both oils are also perfect if you have a dry skin.

You must smell wonderful!
I'm constantly getting mascara smudges on my sunglasses... on my right lens only!
*wonders if lashes are side dominant too.*
Dying your lashes really makes a difference. I go for black and instantly my eye colour looks twice as blue. The dye gets the bottom lash line. My Mum was complaining about her lashes becoming more sparse so she had extensions! Quite amazing really, they were literally glued on.
Oh... you're funny. So you can buy eyelash dye from Coles (supermarket). It's a bit gloopy to use and is called '1000 hour' (here). I've seen facial hair bleach too for the other issue, just don't get the two products mixed up and dye the upper lip down black and bleach the eye lashesEye’ve Never heard of lash dyeing- will have to google. The extension thing sounds awesome! As I get older my lashes and brows are getting sparse or just migrating to my upper lip.
Being rather pale with nearly black hair, my upper lip necessitated bleaching or else some dumbass kid would say "Hey lady! You have a mustache!" (Me to kid, mentally: "FUCK OFF...tell me something I don't know.)
Anyhow, I opted to have it lasered off. It took 6 treatments (I think it was @$75 each time) but it was worth every single penny. I only have a few little hairs now, that are much lighter.
For laser, having fair skin and dark hair is the perfect combo. I had the underarm hair removed (I have about 6 light brown hairs left under each arm) and I did 3 treatments on the lower legs; the last one being done right before I moved up here.
I did a treatment here, but I forget if it was for the neck or what. I have it written down.
Anyhow - even though I only did half the required leg treatments, it was great. I'd say 2/3 of my black leg hair went and the 1/3 hair that is left is very light brown and much easier to shave, perhaps once a month.
I'm almost out of time to get treatments down as it only works with dark hair and light skin, not white hair and light skin. Booooo.
The only place it didn't fully work was on the chin and neck. That area is a PITA. It's super resistant and I have to pay attention to it weekly at the least.

I have a good friend of the family who does my hair and waxing. Due to illness, I had to wait, but now I know it's going to be... fun on Wednesday afternoon. My eyebrows are hideous and I'm close to that time of the month, so ugh, but I can't wait anymore. I have an auction to go to this weekend!!
Ask around. And be careful of the big places, they tend to want to lock you into a contract. I got my first one through my gynecologist's office, of all places.
I'd still be having it done if I lived there. I think if we do move up north in 2 years, I might have one more round on the legs and neck.
That’s a good deal, I paid $120 per session.
