THE PERFECT EYELINER

Eyeliner is the Favourite part of doing my makeup & one of the very first things I learned to do. There are loads of different ways to apply eyeliner but the perfect one to me is a winged liner with a "Marilyn Monroe" Flick. I also love how Lana Del Ray wears her makeup, fresh face & a statement liner.

 All's you will need for the perfect winged liner are, a gel eyeliner (I use Mac Black-track) eyeliner brush (I use Mac 209 liner brush) & last a bent liner brush. My fave is the C217 bent liner brush from Crownbrush which is only £2.79. (Will link their website at the bottom)

At first eyeliner can be tricky, especially liquid liner but like most things Practise makes perfect, I've listed a few tips on how to achieve a winged eyeliner also adding a how to video link & a few images of how I do my own. 


EYELINER TIPS....

♡ Start by slowly dragging your brush from the top inner corner of your eye towards the outer corner of your eye.

♡ The harder your press down with your brush the thicker your liner will be.

♡ In slow brush strokes draw the outside of your wing at a angle with your bent liner brush. Then fill in the corners creating a smooth line.

♡ Make Sure to follow the natural shape of  your eye, keeping as close to the lash line as you can.

♡ For a more dramatic look also apply gel liner to the upper waterline of your eyelid
