Eye Heart You….

Ok.. I don’t know if it’s just me, but who hit the fast forward button?  Holy WOW!  I swear it was just Monday and now here it is Friday again.  So, I Beckie will be your beauty “eyeliner” guru today.

As Jessica stated, there are about a bazillion to choose from right?  How do you know what works best? It’s crazy and a bit intimidating because she’s right, it gets pricey too.  Sure some stores have amazing return policies but I don’t know about you, if I return something to Ulta or Sephora, I always wind up buying something else too. It’s like they know my weaknesses. So it becomes even more expensive!

I’ve dabbled all over the place with eyeliners. From felt tip to brush applicators, to just using a brush to apply.  In the end it depends on the effect that I’m going for.  If I want bold and dark, I go with the felt tip applicator- it gives me more control over the lines.  If I want soft and subtle, I use a powder eye liner and apply with a brush.

As I mentioned last week, I love the MAC ink pots because of their versatility of being a shadow or eyeliner.  But I also like their Penultimate Eye Liner.  It’s just that, a pen with a felt tip applicator.  It distributes an even amount of “ink” and never globs up like your typical liquid eyeliner.  Plus, it’s waterproof, SCORE!

I guess I’m kinda strange because when I put on eyeliner, I’ll use 2 different kinds and here’s why.  I like the smokey eye look, but I can’t figure out how to get the liquid eyeliner to stay on my lower eye lid.  Believe me I’ve tried and I wind up poking myself in the eyeball and then liquid eye liner EVERYWHERE!  AWEsome!  So I use a pencil.  Silly?  Yes!  My favorite is from Smashbox.  It’s their Limitless Eyeliner.  It too is waterproof and lasts up to 8 hours.  Until I grow up and become a make-up star, that’s what I’ll keep doin’.

Over the weekend, think about this. 

“Pretty is what you are, beauty is what you do with it.”

Have a great one.

Cheers!
