The Liquid Lined Eye Makeup Trend At Dior And The Emmy’s

A makeup look I’ve been applying quite a bit these days and also picked it up at this year’s Emmy Awards was the black liquid line with a nude or no shadow, with the eye lined with white pencil at the bottom. This is a very striking and glamorous look and not difficult after a view practice sessions. The white on the inside of the bottom lid adds that extra sparkle to your evening eye!

A lovely liner to use is MAC Superslick in Marked for Glamour and one of my favourites, Denim gel liner from Bobbi Brown.

This is a extremely flattering look for almost any eye shape and elongates the eye to give it a wide innocent look. If you are nervous of using liquid liners but like the effect, try it with a sharp soft eye pencil and follow as close to your lashes from the inside corner of your eye to the outside.

To get those sexy Bridit Bardot-ish eyes it is not always neccessary to use black as your liquid line colour. I love using a dark blue denim colour, dark aubergine purple and a glimmery gunmetal grey as alternatives. And really, the tick on the outside corner at the end of your liquid line just proves there is a inner catwoman in all of us….RRRrrrrrr……
