Super Natural Eyeliner
Saturday, January 31, 2009
To me, I think a daily makeup look should include eyeliner. It makes your eyes pop and look bigger. However, I just
have to make it natural, effortless and "real" looking. Or else I feel so odd going out. Hence...this super SUPER natural-looking eyeliner tutorial. It won't irritate your eye because you will be using artificial tears (that you hopefully KNOW will not irritate your eyes). It'll also stay put all day and come off easily with warm water and your daily facial cleanser in the shower. Seriously!
You will need:
- An eyeliner brush either angled or those scripture brushes (I use either Annabelle A-14 or MAC #209)
- A black (slightly more intense) or dark brown (more natural) eye shadow
- Visine or some sort of artificial tears (I use Systane)
This is a very simple process. Simply drop a droplet of your artificial tears onto the back of your hand. Grab your brush and wet it with the artificial tears. Next, get some eyeshadow product onto your brush and apply it like you would normally do.
Warning: This
may ruin your eyeshadow so I don't recommend doing this with an expensive one from an high-end brand like MAC. (Seriously. 14.50 for a pot or 11 for a refill. What are they THINKING?! T-T) I do this with the 2nd darkest color in a trio from Annabelle...because I'm not afraid to ruin this.
Of course, you should only wet a little area on your eyeshadow so you don't "ruin" the whole thing and can still use the other areas like normal shadow.
Have fun!
