makeup tip: the waterline

 
The laws of shading apply to the waterline as well: lighter colors reflect and open up areas by bringing them forward while darker colors absorb and close up areas by pushing them back.  Here are three looks to try out...

WHITE LINER: This definitely opens up the eyes and makes them appear the biggest, but in a more obvious way as one can see the white liner. But who cares as it’s a chic throwback to Sixties, especially if you were to pair it with a liquid winged liner and contoured crease.  Chanel Le Crayon Khol Intense Liner in Blanc was used because its color payoff is unmatched.

NUDE LINER: This also opens up the eyes, making them look larger, but in a very natural and undetectable way. No one will probably notice you took the extra 5 seconds to rim them with liner, but they’ll notice your eyes look bigger.  Stila Kajal Liner in Topaz was used in the pic above.

BLACK LINER: This closed up the eyes and made them look a little smaller, but in return, they look way more piercing, as if they could look right through someone, a bit more of a sultry look if you ask me.  This look is a must for nighttime fun as it completely changes your look.  NARS Larger Than Life Longwear Liner in Via Veneto was used because it really lasts and won’t wear away after an hour.

What look do you like the best?
