The many faces of eyeliner

Hello all.

Hope you are well.

I have got some great posts coming up for you in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

So today I am going to be talking about eyeliner.

Now eyeliner is very much a marmite make up product.

Mainly because the people who love it, like what it does to their eyes and to their features. The people who hate it hate how fiddly and sometimes complicated it can be to put on their eyes.

I have seen many a friend poke themselves in the eye or in my case wobble the line and watch it go into my hair or on my cheek.

Eyeliner can just seem like effort.

But with the variation of eyeliner now available. From liquid, pencil, kohl and even glitter. To where you can put it on your eyes, to how it can really highlight your features and how eyeliner can be fun even if you do make mistakes.

Here are a few ideas I tried out today. Sorry for the bad light. :)

Picture one is glitter eyeliner.

Done with Collection 2000 green and pink.

Picture two is gems stuck on to the eye as a makeshift eyeliner.

Picture three is the smoky eye look.

I place pencil brown eyeliner on the top, under the eye and also on the water line.

I think think this look looks amazing but with nude lips and mascara on.

Picture four is done with black liquid liner for a 60's vibe.

These are just a few ideas I did in a few minutes each.

There are many more ways, styles and type of eyeliner I could of shown but these pictures just give you a idea.

After all eyeliner shouldn't be scary.

If you worry about making a mistake. Don't worry just keep a pack of wet wipes handy and the more you panic the more mistakes you will make. Even whilst doing the eyeliner above I made mistakes. So just take your time and have fun and if your worried just practice at night a few days before you need to wear your eyeliner out.

Eyeliner is the most versatile piece of make up in your kit. It takes your make up from day to experimental.

So if you just have one black eyeliner pencil in your make up bag.

Route it out and have a go at a smoky eye (Picture three)

And then try out some other techniques with some other eyeliners, like glitter, colour or even liquid.
