Eyeliner hell and Tips to save your life.

I HAVE SURVIVED HURRICANE SANDY!!!! *Crowd cheers and goes crazy*

This hurricane was a tremendous one and did lots of damage to New York City. Trees collapsed, buildings fell, windows were shattered, cars were ruined, streets were flooded, power was out, anything that can possibly go wrong- WENT WRONG. It's was something out of the usual here in NYC. I hope everyone is safe and sound!

My apologizes for blabbing about Sandy, back to topic- EYELINER.

We all have trouble after trouble when it comes to applying eyeliner- even me! As a Makeup Artist, my job was to master my eyeliner application since it is such a big part of my daily routine. We all hear that "practice makes perfect" and I cannot stress it enough on how accurate that saying is when it comes to eyeliner. I must say I am one very impatient person at times, and applying eyeliner just happened to be one of those 'impatient times'. Please please please do not make the mistake I made as a beginner of trying to rush an eyeliner application UNLESS you are a master. Rushing it can just amount to a big mess, especially with liquid and gel liners.

- The trick to applying gel liner or cream liner is using a fine-thin brush and start with a THIN application on the middle of the lash line outward (#11A), then finish the line from the inner corner of the eye to the middle (#12A).

 If you do this on both eyes WITH PATIENCE, you will have an even line and should end up with a something like in photo number 3A.

- Too create a winged eye follow these steps ::

B

 

- Too ensure that your wing is equal on both eyes, you can use a piece of TAPE and place it along the lower lash line like like in photo numbers 1B/2B. 

- To make sure your liner stays on longer, use an angled/slanted brush and dab a small amount of black eyeshadow.

I truly do hope this post can help you guys save yourselves from eyeliner issues.
