A model makeup trick I recently tried (this opens your eye wide and stays on forever!) involved using liquid eyeliner! Have you ever used it? I haven’t, being a child of the 70’s, by that time liquid eyeliner went out with false eyelashes and beehive hairdo’s!
In my day it was more of the plucked to oblivion eyebrows and more turquoise eyeshadow underneath the eyes than on the lid! A sort of Biba/hippie vibe!
So I tried this liquid eyeliner, Oh God, what a laugh! I pride myself that I’ve got a steady hand being that I paint a lot (brendaanvariart.com) but I was utterly useless!
The instruction frigid model on Instagram, was to place a fine line right next to your lashes from the middle eye to the outer corners, I did that sort of ok but it got a bit messy around the middle!
Wait until it dries, did I wait long enough? Probably not! Then run a pencil or a powder along the line. Get a small brush, start from the outside in and gently fluff it up. Well that but was quite a success, but I did seem to get dark smudges everywhere until I managed to do a bit of a repair job! But the eyeliner and shadow did last all day, and it did open up my eyes, so result!
I think tomorrow I’ll try it with a crayon on top, they’ll be less chance of the colour travelling everywhere. Not one to give up or be beaten I’ll try this again. What do they say practice makes perfect! 🤣
