1) Definitely liquid. It ranges from a paper-thin line to a slightly thicker one, depending on the pressure you use to apply it. However, some pencil eyeliners have super-skinny pencils – I just saw a Tarte one at Sephora today.

2) Yes, DiorShow mascara DOES really work wonders. I don’t mean to rave about it, because most people do (OMG i lovee DiorShow!! It’s sooo good!!!!! It’s the best!), but I’m totally serious. It has very very minimal clumps. DiorShow Unlimited also lengthens your lashes a lot, and the regular DiorShow is very good as well. Although, if you have small eyes or thin/short lashes, I wouldn’t recommend the regular DiorShow, just the Unlimited, because the brush is very big.
I think Shiseido mascara and Benefit BadGal (but there’s a b-i-g brush too) ork wonders as well. So does Maybelline Define-A-Lash, if you want to spend less.
But overall, I would recommend DiorShow Unlimited/DiorShow.

As for the watery oily eyes:
I suggest you use waterproof eyeliner – liquid eyeliner always stays on really well when it’s waterproof. I found that the waterproof liners from Makeup Forever are really, really good. They don’t smudge or smear at all. The pencils are good, too. It may seem like a lot: $16 for a pencil liner and $21 for a liquid liner, but it’s really worth your money.

The liqued eyeliner would be better for you because of your oily skin. Far as Drug store mascaras,all of the models still wear Covergirl Great Lash. (pink tube) I like the Loreal Mascara. I’ve tried several of them & they are good. Diorshow is highly overrated! I tried some on at their counter& wasn’t impressed at all. If I’m going to pay that kind of money,I’d get Definicils by Lancome. But the Loreal seems to be just as good & a lot cheaper too!(& sold at all of the stores!)

pencils create the thinnest lines. MAC has good eye shadows and lipsticks. for make up I like LANCOME two way foundations in a compact look like pressed powder but works like both make up and powder and sometimes they have cute free gifts with make up bag etc. For your oily watery eye use eye drops or artificial tear eye drops read the label according to your eye problems. (keep it simple means don’t put too much make up like chinese opera)

first of all liquid eyeliner will give the skinniest most defined line
but i suggest not putting it on the inside of your lower eyelid as it will make your eyes appear much smaller use it on the top only.. but it depends on the occasion

and with mascara just get a couple of different brands go with cheaper ones if that what you can afford
see which one will suit you best, which ones give the effect you desire and go with that
you dont have to bother about getting top brand mascaras.

and if they are a bit clumpy then just get a mascara brush and brush the clumps out and also never use waterproof mascara unless in the case of swimming etc
as it is basically made out of tar which is used on roads and is extremely bad for your eyelashes

just a few tips and ideas
hope you liked

I still think – having tried them all, to get the thinnest line with eyeliner is to get the solid block and use with a thin brush.
Rimmel still make the block – you just dampen your brush and rub on the eyeliner block (like you would with water colour paints) With this you can get it is thin, think, wet or dry as you like for the way that you find easiest to apply. ( Also you will find that which ever make you buy it s probably the cheapest) I live in the UK – but I am sure you can buy this for less that $5 in Walmart.
Sorry I can’t help with the Dior Mascara – I find the new MaxFactor one is brill.

any liquid eyeliner will leave the thinnest line, but it can be tricky to handle. diorshow mascara is nice, but i like covergirl lashblast way better! its only 7 or 8 bucks. the wand is big, and takes some getting used to, but once you get it, its great! no clumps or flaking or anything! it also comes in waterproof which is great! covergirl lashblast totally makes your lashes go WAHM!!! plus, you can get it at walgreens or walmart!
hope i helped! good luck!

1. bobby brown makes a really great eyeliner gel that stays put very nicely. you will also have to get a thin liner brush.

2. as for mascara i have found the best ones at discount stores – target, walmart, cvs. the best one is in the orange tube. i can’t remember the name of it.

My honest opinion about diorshow is it is very much overhyped. Even if you could go out and spend 24 dollars on a mascara, diorshow would not be my choice.

I suggest you try one of these two options from the drugstore: covergirl lashblast, or the new maybelline colossal one in the greenish tube. I just bought the colossal mascara, and i love it! It’s comparable to some of my favorite higher end mascaras.
