Quick beauty tip #3 - fake your way to perfectly lined eyes every time

If you love the look of perfectly lined eyes but are scared of using a liquid eyeliner, do what I do. Cheat! Instead of going freehand lining your eyes with a liquid liner, and in the process doing a wobbly line full of smudges, why not do an outline with a pencil liner first, then trace along it with the liquid liner.





How to fake your way to perfectly lined eyes

Step 1. Faintly line your eyes with a newly sharpened pencil eyeliner.
Step 2. Slowly trace on top of it with your liquid liner.
Step 3. Finish with 2 coats of your favourite mascara and enjoy the compliments showing on your fantastic liquid liner skills.

Products used - Jordana Color Extend eyeliner pencil in Black, Australis Curve Ink* eyeliner in black

Of course if you're an expert with the liquid liner, then forget this tip and go on your merrily way, secure in the knowledge that I'm insanely jealous of you.

Hope you find this little tip useful, and if you have any requests for any looks or tutorials leave me a comment below!

  6. Oh, I would be so happy if I could ever wing my eyeliner as well as you do! Still learning. And can I just ask, I have heard fabulous things about that Jordana eyeliner, did you buy it online or in a store? Xx

    1. I absolutely love that Jordana eyeliner. I bought it from a discount cosmetic store near my work but it's also available on Cherry Culture. Let me know if you'd like me to send one to you :)

  7. I do the exact same thing! I find that it also helps prolong the wear of the liner, too!

    1. Thanks Sylwia. On my eyes I'd used the Too Faced Naked Eye palette (top row of colours) and cheeks were Illamasqua blush in Naked Rose. Hope that helps.
