The Sexy Sweeping Eyeliner

Loves, would you wear a sweeping eyeliner for a date? I must say that I've loved this sassy look ever since I can remember, you? I’ve been endlessly trying to master the technique and only recently I managed to learn a great little trick from Sali that makes the line crisp, precise and the little flick sexy instead of messy.

 Here it is: Always start with black pencil underneath as the waxy surface immediately stops the liquid's brush from wobbling, making it move in slow, manageable sweeps. You can line your eyes as normal in pencil, then for the flick, imagine the outer corner of your eye as six o'clock. Draw a tiny dot at 10 or two o'clock (depending on which eye you're lining), as far out as you fancy. Then join the dot and the line, forming a point. Trace over with liquid liner to sharpen, filling any gaps.

It takes Sali about 60 seconds to have her eyes ready. For me it’s more like 3-4 minutes right now but I’m a working progress :) xo
