Sherry Sparkle’s Eyeliner application tips

Sherry Sparkle – makeup artist and friend of Hot Candys, has kindly supplied some invaluable advice for all you girls on Eyeliner application.

The perfect Cats Eye

If you want to acheive the perfect cat’s eye you need to bring the eyeliner to the edge of your eye and then kick up almost like a tick

then you can join it up from the end of the tick to the rest of the liner, if you find it difficult you could always use a peice of surgical tape as a guide for your liner

once your done you have a perfect straight edge and you take your tape of, of course!

Getting it straight

A lot of people get stressed about making the liner perfectly straight on top of the eye, there is an easy solution, buy yourself a pencil brush or even use a cotton bud and after you have applied the liner either liquid or pencil then smudge through, to smooth out the line, works wonders.

Smokey eye effect

To get a smokey eye effect with pencil liner you would need to draw all over the lid with the kohl and then in the waterline and on the top of the lash line

Try not to go under the lash line to much as this can cause that “punched in the eye” effect, which is not what we want

Then with a blending brush blend softly until you create the effect you want.

If you find it has gone a little over the top, get a cotton bud and soak it with make-up remover and just erase what you don’t want.
