Love for Liquid Eye Liner♥

  I swear by Liquid eye liner. My mom never used it when I grew up and I never had an older sister to teach me these things but once I got brave enough to just try it, I fell in love with it! It's a simple and dramatic way to draw attention to your peepers! Mascara does alot just by wearing it and eye liner is like the finishing touch! it makes everything look polished and finished! So steady your hand make sure theres not too much liquid on the tip of the brush, lower your lid and start in the middle. It's that easy. How thick or thin you go is your choice. I usually do it on the thinner side with a little cat eye on the end!




1.  Prime your eyelids. Use either a professional primer or cream eyeshadow to form a base for the liquid eyeliner to stick to. Dust translucent powder on top.


2Apply eyeshadow if you will be wearing any. Don't worry about getting liquid eyeliner on the eyeshadow, it will easily come off.

3Steady your hand on a table. Tilt your head back slightly, and draw your eyelid taut with your non-dominant hand.

4Draw small dashes or dots of liquid eyeliner as close to your eyelashes as possible. It does not matter if these are even and steady or not, you will be going over them later.

5Go over the dashes in one continuous line. Try to apply it lightly along the inner corner, and gradually applying pressure for a thicker line as you work your way to the outer corner.

6Fix any mistakes. Use a cotton swab/bud barely dipped in eye makeup remover and gently press and twist the cotton swab/bud on spots. Wait a few moments for it to dry, and gently blend your eyeshadow back into place.

7Apply mascara. Two coats at least!
