If You Suck at Eyeliner, This Trick Might Help

If I’m ever late in the morning, nine times out of ten it’s because I messed up my eyeliner. There is nothing worse than having uneven wings. As soon as I notice that something is off with one of them, I add more to try to fix it. Then I need to add more to the other one to make it just a thick, and before you know it, I look like a racoon, and have to redo my whole face. The daily struggle is real.

Rochelle Wick, a beauty blogger based in Sri Lanka, has a trick to save you from your daily battle with your eyeliner, and it is so simple. She uses a simple piece of string to create #CatEyeGoals.

 

STRING LINER trick ?? !!! TAG A FRIEND ______________________________________________ FOLLOW ME ON SNAPCHAT – SHMANGOPIE ______________________________________________ What do you guys think of the string liner? It totally helped me – someone with super round,hooded eyes (it’s super hard to do a winged liner). This would also help any beginners out there struggling with winging it ;) this technique will give you a lot more control. Glitter Liner Makeup was inspired by the beautiful @nazaninkavari ______________________________________________ Lenses – @anesthesiaaustralia in Anesthetic Shadow Song – iamjofferey- Rather Be _______________________________________________ #makeupholic_moon #rochellewick #wakeupandmakeup #allmodernmakeup #eyeblogbeauty #hudabeauty #makeupclips #makeupfanatic1#fakeuproom #laurag_143 #makeupslaves #slave2beauty #stylevideo #1minutemakeup #makeupvideos #make4glam #glamvids #makeuptutorialsx0x #hypnaughtymakeup #hypnaughtypower #brian_champagne #fakeupfix #peachyqueenblog #srilankan #hairmakeupdiary #srilanka

After coating the string with black eyeliner, Rochelle presses it to her eye to create the perfect shape of the eyeliner wing. After the precise shape is made, it’s as easy as coloring in the lines!

“I’m always trying to come up with innovative hacks—especially focused on liner and brows, which a lot of us struggle [with],” Rochelle says. “I try to come up with hacks using household materials, and this just popped into my head. I tried an elastic band first, but string seemed more practical.” It’s reassuring to know that even the makeup pros have the same makeup problems as we do.

With all of the innovative and creative makeup tricks bloggers are teaching us, your 2017 resolution to step up your makeup game is going to be a piece of cake!
