Turn any eyeshadow into a long-wearing eyeliner
Use this trick to transform any eyeshadow into a long-wearing liquid eyeliner. Simply take some saline solution (the kind used to clean contact lenses) and squeeze a drop onto the back of your hand. Dip the end of an eyeliner brush or small angled brush into the saline just enough to moisten the brush — you may need to lightly blot the brush on a tissue if it gets too wet.
Gently smudge the end of the brush into the eyeshadow of your choice and then use it to line your eyes as you normally would. The result is a long-wearing liner in as many (or more!) shades as you have eyeshadows. Just try combining different colors of eyeshadow to discover your own custom shades.

lol, yep, definitely a great way to make sure extra contact solution doesn’t go to waste!
I have a terrible of habit of forgetting my contact solution when I go out of town, so I’ll usually buy a cheap/generic bottle of solution. Once I’m back home, I use the inexpensive solution as a backup for my regular stuff…and also for this little liquid liner trick ; )

Hi, nice tip, but does this work better than just using plain water? Does the salt in the saline actually make a difference?
