For me this is the step in my makeup routine that I dread. First of all, I have shaky hands and you can probably see how this could make clean eyeliner application a challenge. So it is nearly impossible, if not definitely impossible, to get a clean line especially while using liquid liner. And I know this is not exactly a problem but I have really long and pretty curly lashes so it makes it hard to see what I'm doing clearly and also forces me to put my hand at a weird angle while applying the eyeliner. I know I could just run my liner tool through my lashes but I don't like to feeling so I tend to avoid it. So my quest for the perfect eye liner, especially that gorgeous cat liner look, is still in progress.
But good news for those of you poor unfortunate souls like me, there are a few techniques you can use to get that definition of the eyes without looking like a 5 year-old did your liner for you :). First is tight-lining your eyes and lining your water line. For those of you unfamiliar with these techniques, it is when you line the upper and lower inner rim if your eye. You definitely want to use a water proof eyeliner unless you want to look like a raccoon but it is easy once your eyes get used to it. There is also the technique of purposefully making your eyeliner messy and smudging it out. Just use a pencil brush to do this on your upper/lower lash line or use a smudger tool if it is attached to the bottom of your pencil.
So that is the technique that I struggle with, what is yours?
Until next time,
