Under-eye eyeliner



Lately, I've really been getting into under-eye eyeliner. I know, I know, sometimes it looks really bad (trust me, it's the fastest way to make my mom cringe)...but when it's done right, it looks pretty awesome!

Check out the way it's done here: using a liquid line, a thin line drawn under the eyes, past the corners. It's drawn neatly from the middle of the eye and makes the eyes look wider apart. The nice thing about drawing something under the eye is that if you don't have a crease ... like the average asian girl ... then nobody can see eyeliner drawn above your eyes unless you are closing them.

And let's face it, going around with your eyes closed all the time is not the safest way to live. :)

So Voila! The solution is to draw the line under your eyes, and it still creates
a much stronger widening and emphasizing effect then when drawn on top
...because people can actually see it on you.
Even when your eyes are open.

A twenty-something who refuses to waste 4 years of training as a Comparative Literature-ist just because it is now time to be a Landscape Architect. Old books were recycled as door stops and wall insulation. Delightfully obtuse philological arguments were dusted off and re-used as noveau swear words. Now it's time to put that skill of connecting ridiculously different ideas together and making them fizz. Feel free to comment and join in on the fun!
