Ok, so here's the deal. I've just started wearing make up. I've been using pencil eyeliner on my lower lids and that's all well and good, but I feel it's time to progress....liquid eyeliner and my upper lids as well.
But...firstly I'm totally cack handed so it goes everywhere except near my lashes where I'm aiming for. Any tips for getting it in the right place and need would be appreciated.
And the second one, I've got odd eyesight. I'm totally long sighted in one eye and totally short sighted in the other. When both eyes are open it's fine and cancels each other out thus I don't need glasses or contacts etc but when one eye is closed it's fine for doing the eye make up...but the minute I swap over the closed the eye I go all blind and blurry.
Any ideas how to combat this or at least put the make up on properly whilst in this state? LOL.
Thanks

I definately recommend that eyeliner though, I have had loads of comments about my eyeliner (weird I know) but that really is my secret!
L'Oreal Perfection Superliner
Oooh that looks good, might follow up that recommendation - liquid eyeliner can be a pain to apply
I have exactly the same problem as you, I've got a dodgy eye and it's such a pain squinting and sweating and the end result is some cleopatra drag queen impression. Think I'll check out the L'Oreal one as well!
I've perfected my liquid eyeliner technique and if you put a finger to the corner of your eye and pull it out then
a) your eyelid is straight so it's easrier to draw an even line, and
b) you can still semi-see out of your eye, which makes focusing easier.
or maybe you just need to stand closer/further away from the mirror according to your long/short sighted eyes?
Hope that helps!
Actually, I've had a look and both 17 and Maxfactor do a similar product
Depends how it's worn.
At night, the unnatural look is kinda cool :flirt:
During the day though, you can still wear it. We're recommended to apply the eyeshadow as usual, then line the eye. Using the eyeshaodw brush and the tiniest bit of the eyeshadow you've already used, apply and brush down towards the lashes. The line is softer but still has the different effect.
