The perfect eyeliner

Painting a nice eyeliner, and especially eyeliner wing, is a detail that many people have problems with. A few days ago I published one eyelinertutorial which was very much appreciated, so I thought I would continue a little more with the eyeliner talk :)

I have almost always used cake eyeliner - a dry cake that works much like watercolor. But I have started to like gel eyeliners more and more, and use it more and more often!

En gel eyeliner är mycket lättare att jobba med då man mer kan “arbeta fram” en snygg eyelinerform. Den är krämig, och till skillnad från cake eyeliner så behöver man inte blöta penseln före, utan man bara hämtar eyelinern med en pensel och använder den som den är.

Those of you who read my posts and product lists when I do make-up, have probably noticed that I have used Oriflames Gel Eyeliner more and more? :) I like it a lot, precisely because it is so easy to work with, the eyeliner wing looks good immediately and it stays in place all day!

I like gel eyeliner a lot too because you can vary it so much, you can just add a little for a discreet lash marking, paint sharp, straight lines, or erase it for a more smoky make-up.

To get the perfect eyeliner with gel eyeliner:

Choose a fairly stiff brush, either slanted or one with a tapered top, it can be difficult if it is too soft.

2. Start by working the eyeliner firmly into the bottom of the eyelashes, so that there is no skin-colored space where the straws are stuck.

3. Paint a straight line along the lash line, preferably narrower at the corner of the eye.

4. Blur the line if you want a smoky look, otherwise you can keep it straight and in such cases it can help if you add a little thicker layer for that carbon black sharp feeling.

5. You can most easily paint a wing with a lot of eyeliner on a brush when you shape the lower part of the wing, and a little less eyeliner when you shape the tip / top itself. It does not matter if the tip becomes a little lighter, it just makes it look nicely narrow and pointed.

Then you're done!

Here I have used this particular gel eyeliner to get a more smoky look, shitty too!

Hope the post was helpful! :)
