EYESHAPES / LINERS

LINERS-following the bottom outer line of the eye, draw line with pencil first onto eye that meets a line draw from the centre of the top eye lid lash line outwards, this create a triangle. This 'flick' can be drawn into any shape whether it is small, large, straight, flicky etc. It is then filled in with a liquid/cream liner so it holds better. Then the rest of the eye is lined, the top lid complete the line into the inner corner however thick it id needed for the look. You can also line in the waterline or under the waterline depending on how 'cat-eyed' the look is. This can be done in any colour and if you use a white or preferably beige toned eyeliner in the water line it appears to make the eye look larger.

EYESHAPES-similarly to eyeliner, when creating a smoky eye with the darker colours apply in areas you would with the eyeliner flick, gradually getting lighter tones as you get to the inner eye and eyebrow. To make the lid look rounder and larger blend the darkest colour into the crease on the eye lid/socket into the inner eye to create an outline. Use small rounded brushes for eye-shadows/creams as then you have more control over the small surface area. You can also just use one light colour to cover just the lid to make the lid look larger by in a way highlighting it, you could then add a darker shade to only the crease of the eyelid to make it rounder whereas the smoky eye creates a elongated cat eye effect.
