Melt your eyeliner pencil to help it glide
We all know the struggle of getting that perfectly sharpened eyeliner pencil that will create that full look, whilst gliding perfectly across your eyelid with no bumps or pokes. But what to do when you have no sharper at hand? Simple, use a lighter or a little flame from a candle to melt the tip of your eyeliner pencil. This will soften the tip of the pencil to allow it to glide across your eyelid effortlessly with perfect precision.
Make your eyeshadow POP with white eyeliner
Apply white eyeliner to your eyelid, covering the entire area before applying your eyeshadow. Once you’ve applied the eyeliner, then put the eyeshadow on top. The opaqueness of the white eyeliner will intensify the eyeshadow and make it POP, making any less pigmented eyeshadow look way more vibrant.
Use a spoon to create the perfect winged liner
If you struggle to keep a steady hand when drawing out a winged eyeliner effect then stop trying to freehand it and grab a spoon from the kitchen. Using it as a stencil, hold the stem of the spoon against the outer corner of your eye and apply your liquid eyeliner to draw a perfectly straight line.
Once done, flip the spoon over so it’s hugging your eyelid and draw against the rounder edge to create a perfectly curved wing effect. Then simply fill it in and there you have the perfect cat eye.
Use a spoon as a mascara shield
There is nothing more annoying or frustrating than creating the perfect eyeshadow and eyeliner look, only to have it ruined by accidently smudging your look with mascara. The solution is simple, keep that spoon out and hug it against your eyelid whilst applying mascara.
The back of the spoon will be hit with any residue as you brush the mascara against your lashes, instead of it hitting and smudging your skin. You’re welcome.
