BEAUTY FINE PRINT

Liquid eyeliner is one of those makeup products that can completely transform a look, especially if it’s black. I tried using brown eyeliner in the past and although it can also look pretty, black eyeliner is my bread and butter when it comes to eye makeup. I remember the first time I started using it (it was about 8 or 9 years ago) and my eyeliner skills were pretty low but I still thought it looked amazing. Since I started wearing makeup even before I knew liquid eyeliner existed there was a time when my eye makeup looks were simpler, sometimes with a pencil liner (in the waterline, of course 😂) and sometimes with an eyeshadow matching the colour of my outfit. Yes, those were the days. I still sometimes wear simpler makeup and even don’t wear makeup at all but my favourite eye looks always include black eyeliner. So after so many years of wearing it, what would be my main tips for applying liquid eyeliner? 

The search for the perfect eyeliner and mascara never ends. If you wear them daily then you know all the things they have to go through to be approved for everyday wear. First of all you'll need an eyeliner that gives you that perfect flick. Even the expression on flick came from impeccably applied eyeliner (probably, I just made it up): The flick of your liquid liner needs to look like it can cut through glass. So basically as sharp as it gets. Next, liquid eyeliner can't crack. If I find one thing about makeup annoying, that's cracked eyeliner. And maybe caky foundation, but that's a whole other story. When I see the eyeliner is cracking, no way I'll keep it, no matter how good it preforms in other areas. That's why I didn't like Essence eyeliner, although I still think it's quite good, the cracking was pretty severe. Third thing is smudging. Don't you just love when you see your reflection in the mirror in the middle of the day and see eyeliner smudged in the outer corner of your eyes (or inner, it depends on your tear ducts)? 😂 Of course not, because you are not crazy and are probably too busy to wipe those smudges all day long.
