Makeup Tip of the week...How to Keep Eyeliner from Smudging

Every week im going to put a new tip on here just so i can make sure that i keep up with my blog and it dosent just diffuse into nothing, so here we go with our very first tip!


Here are some tips to keep your eyeliner from smudging:
  • Eyeshadow Primer, its not just for eyeshadow, it really does help with liner, just apply all over your eyelid , and your lower lash line to help liner stay.
  • Use a water proof or a water resistant formula, it gives it more staying power
  • Use a form of sealer like Bare Escentuals "Weather Everything", Benefit "She Laq" or Ben Nye "Final Seal"
  • Use an Eyeliner brush, even with pencil liner! Just take the brush (a flat angled brush works well for this) and run it over the tip of the pencil , then apply it. For liquids or gel/cream liners i like a slim pointed brush, but you can use whatever you prefer.
  • Use an eyeshadow or powder close to your liner color to set the eyeliner in place
  • Take your face powder with an eyeshadow brush and press it right under the liner on the lower lashes, it acts as a barrier to keep the liner from going places you dont want it.

Thanks for reading and tune in for next weeks tip!
