Blacktrack Fluidline £13.50 from MAC Cosmetics
The question I get asked more often than any other is "what is the best black eyeliner to achieve a perfect flick?"......
...... and my answer would be blacktrack fluidline, its a gel based formula that is just the right texture, just the right density of colour and stays on! The feline winged eyeliner is the ultimate eye makeup look for me, its a beautiful classic look, think Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe yet still looks incredibly fresh and contemporary on anyone today.
So the trick to achieve this is........
Prep your eye first....... apply a base, this helps to keep your eyeliner on and stop it from smudging.
Look at your eyes........ sounds obvious but you need to study the shape, your trying to lift your eyeshape to give you that feline, almond shape.
Guide Lines........ easiest way to know where to start your flick is to follow the line from under your eye in the outer corner. Sometimes it helps to do the flick first and then fill in above your eye after.
Invest in a good brush.......I personally love to use the finest tipped brush i can get my hands on, others like a angled brush, find what you feel comfortable with.
Practice...........Its not the easiest product to use but your not going to achieve this look with a pencil, but once you get the hang of it is easy!!
