Share a Tip Tuesdays: Lost Your Gel or Cream Liner Brush? No Problem. Pencil in This Tip to Try - Makeup and Beauty Blog

The new YSL Creme D'Eyeliner in No. 7 Gilt Star ($25), and MAC Powersurge Eye Kohl ($fifteen)

My firm is similar the Bermuda Triangle for makeup brushes.

In other words, lots of unexplained disappearances. Particularly for brushes I use to apply gel and cream eyeliners. It'south like they get sucked into that same alternate universe where all the missing socks and earrings become…

But now I take a trick that's been saving my booty when I want to vesture a potted gel or cream liner simply tin't find the perfect brush. I just use a pencil liner as a brush.

Dip the pencil into the cream or gel liner you want to employ, and run it along your lash or h2o lines, as if it'south a brush! 🙂

Y'all tin either use a pencil in a color similar to the foam or gel liner you lot'd similar to wear, or use a pencil in a dissimilar shade to spice things up.

The color of the pencil in the pic up top, MAC Powersurge, is similar to the shimmery, bronzy gilt YSL Creme D'Eyeliner in No. vii Gold Star (bachelor now at YSL counters and bloomingdales.com) behind it.

That'south an example of the matchy-matchy approach…

But to take a varsity-level swoop into the world of eye-lining improvisation instead, use a pencil liner in a completely different shade. I've tried that same YSL gold liner above with pencils in black, plum and greenish and created some really neat duochrome furnishings. Every one puts its own unique twist on the gel or foam.

Exist careful not to overload the pencil if you use information technology this way (took me a few tries to figure that out), and don't forget to clean the tip when your done to keep it from getting all icky. I wipe mine downwardly with a clean paper towel or a Wet Ones Wipe.

Oh, and sometimes, when my h2o lines experience extra sensitive — too sensitive for castor bristles — I detect that a pencil feels a little gentler against my skin.

Welcome to another heady installment of Share a Tip Tuesdays! 🙂 Thank you to y'all, this series is really turning into a great beauty resource. Last week'southward edition received more than 3 dozen tips! Hither are a few…

I take mild rosacea, and and so I observe it really hard to create the flawless base I like to start with, because no matter what, the cherry-red always shows through. I recall I've actually figured it out now, though. I've got a killer combo that ALWAYS gives me perfect ivory flawless peel that I can then layer blush or bronzer on top of. I start with MUFE's light-green primer on just the areas of rosacea, and use a different not-colored primer for the residue of my face and an oil-command primer for my olfactory organ. I picked up Doctor'southward Formula dark-green concealer, and I spread that in a sparse layer over my rosacea areas. Prior to putting on my foundation, I look pretty weird, but once I use MAC NC 15 (which has a yellow base that helps annul the ruby) on pinnacle of the primer/concealer philharmonic, it's perfectly even and gorgeous. Great tip for anyone with extra redness.

I have hooded eyes, so I ordinarily favor smudgy eyeliner on my lids and top lash line. Information technology also helps to wear a lipstick that brings out the all-time in my peel tone. Blue reds and peachy pinks tend to work well for me.

H2o lining is quicker than trying to do a groovy eyeliner. I water line my eyes, quickly smudge a little cream or gel eye liner on my lids and accept a killer smoky eye in very niggling fourth dimension. Also, tinted lip balms or sheer lipsticks are more forgiving when you just accept fourth dimension for a quick swipe. And take hold of a pretty berry-colored one to add brightness.

Not using white on the water line. I watched Lisa Eldridge's video about the makeup for Breakfast at Tiffany'south, and she mentions that they sometimes used a light bluish on both George Peppard and Audrey. I picked up a few different very light blues to try it out, and I beloved the outcome! You don't see blue waterlines. It's more that it cancels out the pink, but isn't stark like white. My favourites are Gosh's low-cal blueish liners.

Best thing e'er? Primer + BB Cream + Blush. If you have an extra minute, curl and apply mascara. And extra two minutes? Creamy concealer (for the eyes) + Highlight for the inner corners + cupids bow of your lip. Wakes the face right up! I already have glosses in my purse so I slap those on in a pinch. Gorgeous for footling effort!
