Ladies, I know how tough it is to spend endless minutes in front of the mirror achieving the perfect cat eye to see smudge away after an hour of intense disco dancing in a hot club. Been there, done that. Looked in the mirror, and saw a raccoon. I tried everything the magazine told me, I have tested every method possible to keep my eyeliner put (after all it is the most important part of my makeup). Well these are the tips to get the perfect eyeliner to STAY on.
PRIMER: apply primer to the ENTIRE eye area. This includes the bottom rim of your eye if you intend on applying eyeliner to your bottom lids.
GEL EYELINER: The eyeliner that is easiest to maneuver, apply and stay put is gel eyeliner from a pot. Remember, the brush you use will make all the difference!
POWDER FOUNDATION: after priming, apply powder foundation around your entire eye, make sure the foundation matches the exact color of your skin. The powder will give the gel something to adhere to.
APPLY: Go on catwoman, start applying your eyeliner.
COAT: Last but not least, coat your work of art eyeliner with BeneFit’s Shelaq Magic liquid (available at Sephora). This liquid can be used on anything from your eyes to your lips to lock in the makeup for good. A friend of mine did an underwater photo-shoot and coated the makeup with this sealer.
Try it, and you can thank me later!
