Shadow As Liner Trick!

All out of your favorite gel eyeliner? Frustrated with your annoying pencil that keeps breaking on you? Well, have I got the trick for you!


 Okay, so here's what you're gonna need:
  • A thin angled brush
  • Black (or whatever color you choose to use, be creative!) eyeshadow
  • Water
  • A mirror!
   First, dip your angled brush in some water. You could probably go without the water but I prefer it, it gives a more clean line (and it's impossible to rub off!) You won't need much, just a tiny little drop will do. Then, apply the brush to your eyeshadow. Once you have your shadow on the brush, carefully sweep the brush along the upper lash line. And, voila! You have perfectly applied eyeliner with no hassle!
  I would suggest to not even go near the tear-line, it's just too messy with all the water and it would wear away quickly since it's really only shadow. But if you wish to play up you're eyes a little bit more, feel free to put some under the lashes. 
 But always remember that makeup is simply a thing that we feel creative and to give us a little confidence pick-me-up. Everyone is beautiful in their very own way, and makeup is simply a way of expressing this. So please keep in mind that makeup may make you feel pretty, but it is unbecoming to apply layers and layers of it, especially since we hardly need it since we are all beautiful in our own, unique way. Also, feel free to just do whatever you want with your eyeliner, if your feeling bold then why not a fresh shade of purple? Add a little spunk into your life, people! Even a tiny swipe of hot pink eyeliner from CVS can make you feel like a million bucks!
 Hope you liked!
