FOTD: Tightlining

I'm all about looking natural and enhancing your features - whether for work, play, or any day, having eyeliner handy makes an incredible difference. I've recently been obsessed with the lining the upper waterline (or "tightlining" as bloggers call it). It's really taken the traditional way of applying eyeliner to look more natural by lining the area closest to your lashes.

The benefits for me is that my lashes look fuller without really being fuller and my eyes look more open without much effort. Whenever I line my eyes the traditional way, I feel as if it looks too harsh or dramatic and I hate when i close my eyes, that sharp line! It doesn't look friendly on me ;)


What to use? I used Mac's Blacktrack gel liner as it's waterproof and won't smudge on me. Other bloggers use fine pointed liquid liners, a soft kohl liner or a regular pencil liner. I think gel is safest for me though... something about using a liquid liner to tightline scares the jeeves out of me.



I think this technique is a keeper! What's your eye lining method? :) Do share!
