I use Lancome waterproof eye pencil, urban decay eye potion, maybelline gel eyeliners, and I set with translucent power.

Fake eyelashes are a godsend too

Clinique waterproof mascara is definitely that.... Doesn't even come off with eye make up remover!! Goes flakey and horrible tho after about 4 hours so I would AVOID all clinique make up. I'd go with dying your eyelashes. I would but I only wear eye make up for "work" and like the natural look on my days off. I really liked the Natural collections waterproof mascara at boots, although currently using Asda max volume stuff.... Not bad for ?1.50!

Best foundation/concealer I've ever used was No 7 moisturising base layer.

As for lippy (I know not in original question).... I bought some Maybelline 24hr lip stain/gloss about a week ago... that does NOT come off!! Saw three clients and it didn't budge! Takes industrial-strength make-up remover to get off though...

You can have them dyed too - I do my own with one of those Eylure kits and it means you can skip it altogether :).

Dying is really good as Amy suggested. I dye my eyebrows and eye lashes and it works just fine. Saves me time when it's time to make up.

I'm all for the dying too.  Anything that saves on 'getting ready time' gets my vote.  Gives us time for lots of other 'little jobs' that need to get done.
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

It could be that the glue is irratitating you. Try with a non latex glue, stopped the itching.

OMG... this is totally why I get eye infections when I wear falsies... I'm allergic to latex, this makes perfect sense. Thanks Violette  :)

Urban Decay make up never lets me down. I'm a slave to their liquid eyeliner and 24/7 waterproof eye pencils. And to keep your eyeshadow in place their primer potion is magic.
I should get commission from them I think  ;D

Have you tried the YSL waterproof mascara? It works good for me. Also Urban Decay products are divine.

PLEASE beware and get skin test first..i had a really really bad reaction to my eyebrows being dyed.
the women just did without me realising..
there was a watery substance seeping out of them my eyes puffed up,i looked hidious.

i would never have allowed her to dye them,if i had known,i went for eyebrow wax and she just went ahead and did it (to be nice)my eyebrows are still thinner..

i have actually sued a hairdressers for giving me a very bad hair dye job,my hair broke off and my face puffed up,like i had been in a fight.they left it on way to long..
hence why i couldnt sue the next place,as the claims still on going,i deserve compensation..
i couldnt work for a month and was in sheer agony,my whole scalp was burnt..
get a test even if you have dyed your hair eyelashes eyebrows previously.
i HAD been dying my hair years..

I find Body Shop Mascara is excellent and stays for hours.

Clinique waterproof mascara is definitely that.... Doesn't even come off with eye make up remover!! Goes flakey and horrible tho after about 4 hours so I would AVOID all clinique make up.

I use that Clinique mascara... in fact my whole make up bag is Clinique.  I used to have a mish-mash of different brands but with a change to some meds my skin has become incredibly sensitive and find that Clinique doesn't give me as much bother as some others.

I don't get that flakiness though and it makes my lashes look super long (they already are long but it seems to add more 'wow' to them).  The mascara does come off easily but only with warm water, even though it withstands tears! 

Maybe it's because I run a tissue along my lashes to remove any excess that it doesn't flake, but personally I'd recommend it. 

As for eyeliner, I've found that within an hour of applying any I get smudges even when I'm not working - though I have used a 24 hour felt tip eyeliner in the past which really does last all day, but haven't used it for work as I generally don't bother with it so can't let you know from any experience if it would withstand the job.
