Wow how do you get all your lines sooooo perfectly straight? amazing! I have been trying for year and years to get my lines to look that perfect and I am still no where close to being a 1/4 as good as you are at it. I bow to your line ability 🙂

ooh tanya thank you! But i cringed when i saw the photo up close its not as straight as i usually get it and my trick is to start in the middle and work my way out then go from inner corner to match up with my first stroke. Short strokes do the trick and try switching up applicators.Applicators range from brushes such as the mac 266 or the long thin wands in the liner bottles or the ink like marker pens. Changing which one u use makes a huge difference:) Thank u for the sweet comment aww

As what sounds like quite the expert on liquid liner, which type of applicator is your favorite? and easiest? I have such a love/hate relationship with liquid liner…I love the way it looks but hate trying to put it on because it never ever looks as nice as yours. I will try the middle of the lid and working out then in to middle trick, good suggestion thanks 🙂

lol tanya you’re making me blush!:D
Weirdly i have two faves
i use liquid on the top – l’oreal lineur intense which has a long wand with a thin brush at the end. It can be tricky to handle but i find if i rest it along my lashline and drag i can get a nice thin line. If i want a thicker line i just press harder so the bristles spread out.
Most people find the marker type ones to be easiest though.
On the bottom i usually use clinique creamliner with a 266 brush and i sort of just ‘push’ it or press it into my bottom lash line with the brush.
The teeny brush that comes with the creamliner is pretty easy to use too.
Have fun practising and let us know how u do k!

I abosolutely love this look, especially the lower lash line. How were you able to apply it so smoothly? It never looks this nice on me because my lower lashes always hide it/get in the way.
