Materials
- Angled eyeliner brush
- Gel liner
- Paper towel
Instructions
1. Dip the eyeliner brush into the gel liner pot, making sure you get product on both sides of the tip.
2. Here's that smart tip. Gently wipe off the excess product onto the paper towel. Because gel liner can occasionally be clumpy, this quick step will ensure that the product applies smoothly and sharply.
3. Start the wing by looking down and angling the brush toward the outer tail of your eye brow.
4. Apply liner from the tip of the wing downward toward your upper lash line. Fill in any gaps before moving on to the other eye.
5. Repeat these four steps on the remaining eye.
That's it. You're all done. Tip: Wipe the eyeliner brush on the paper towel after you're finished as well, to keep it in good condition for next time.
