Starting Off: Eyeliner

Hi!

Just in case you were wondering, I didn't take part in last weeks SO Project because it was mascara week, and I only have one mascara. And I don't even know what brand it is. 

However, this week is eyeliner, which is great because I love a bit of eyeliner!!

I am currently using two different eyeliners, and they're both the best eyeliners I've ever owned so it should be a good one!

The first one is this MUA eyeliner in Jet Black. I find that with pencil eyeliners, you don't really get a wide range of ones that are top quality and ones that are rubbish.

The reason why I think this particular one is so great is because it comes with a sharpener lid!!!! Who thought of this genius idea? Why don't all eyeliners have one??

Anyway, it's super super useful for when I forget or loose my sharpener (which I do all the time), and is just convenient.

As for quality, it's pretty soft and goes on smoothly leaving a pretty dark/intense colour. 

Did I mention it's only £1??

Application

You can wear this on your waterline, but I choose not to because I think it makes my eyes look loads smaller! Instead, I usually do a line right next to my top lash line then smudge it in a bit, then go over it again with another line.

Then I do a short line underneath my eye, at the side that's not next to my nose (if you get me?).

Basically what I aim for is a really toned down smoky eye look. 

My second eyeliner is the Barry B Gel Eyeliner in black, which I've written a detailed review about here.

I use this for my winged liner look, which I do quite often. Nearly every day actually, and after using many various different liquid liners I can say this one is 100% better!

It's so much easier to use and looks loads better too.

Application

This comes with a brush inside the lid that you can turn around and put on the other end, which gives it a longer handle and is easier to use. The brush is very flat and thin, which means you can do both thick lines and thin lines neatly and easily. For a day to day look, I create a thin line across my lid then make it slightly thicker towards the end and then flick it upwards slightly.

For a night time look, I create a much thicker line across my lid and a bigger flick too. I also tend to join the flick to my under eye too, just for a more dramatic look and to make my eyes look bigger! I usually wear eyelashes too when I do it like this.

That's it! If you have any questions or anything, please comment below and I will reply to everyone!
