Have you heard of Tightlining? It makes your eyes really POP!
Basically, instead of lining the skin above your lash line, you line the skin in between your lashes.
I use a gel liner to get a more dramatic look.
How to Tightline your eyes with eyeliner or gel liner.
- Using clean fingers, gently lift your lashes upward (this step is only necessary if you find it easier to tightline). You'll see tiny gaps between your lash hairs, which you'll be filling in with eye liner.
- Using either a gel or pencil eye liner, lightly dab the eye liner in between each individual lash (as close to the root as possible), to fill in your lash line and make it look fuller. Start at the the inner and work to the outer corner of your eye. Congratulations, you've officially tightlined your eyes!
- To intensify the look, tightline your bottom lash line as well. It's the same concept as the top, but you'll be filling in the space between your lower lashes.
Make sure your pencils and brushes are clean before doing htis. You are getting really close to your eyes.
To sanitize your brushes you can:1. Use an inexpensive approach and use rubbing alcohol to clean your eye makeup. Moisten a tissue with rubbing alcohol and wipe the surface of the pencil, liquid, or gel eye liner. Wait until the rubbing alcohol dries completely before use.2. This only applies to pencil eye liners, but the easiest and fastest way to sanitize is by sharpening. Of course, make sure your sharpener is wiped down with 70% rubbing alcohol before use.

looks so pretty! I need to try this
I have been doing this, but had no idea it had a name. Thanks for the detailed description! I love your blog Jenna and keeping up with your beautiful family. Your cute mom is in Brady's family's ward. It's fun to make all these connections. So glad things are going well and I'm sure you are just so busy. Miss you beautiful girl!
I use my mac eyebrow brush the angled one (can't think of the number) and my mac eye shadow to do this. So much easier and it blends perfectly. I always use shadow for liner. For more dramatic result I lick my brush and then use my shadow.
Try it and tell me what you think!
I do this on my bottom, but never thought to do it on the top! Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try it out.
oohh... fun! Can't wait to try! Thanks for posting this.
