Makeup Tutorial - Tightlining Eyeliner

All right, here is the tutorial on tightlining.  Tightlining is used all the time for film, print and other pro work, as it gives a natural look.  I don;t know if you got this month's Allure magazine but amazing makeup artist Dick Page was ranting about people using eyeliner to lid the lids, not the eyes ... i.e. tightlining! 

Here you can see which eye was tightlined, and which was regularily lined ... notice how the tightlined eye looks much more natural (and would look more so if I had put on eyeshadow, but I wnated you to get a good look at the effect).

 

 

Now what can you tightline with?  Waterproof pencils, cake liners and some quick drying cream liners.  I have read that people have had amazing results with the Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Liners which I am dying to try!  They are safe for the inner rims of your eyes, so that gets a Critty Thumbs-up!  Here is a variety of cake liners, or you can use your fave waterproof pencil.

Here's the vid ... nice still, lol - sadly, this was the best one to choose!

 

 

Do you tightline?  Are you going to try it?  What is your fave eyelining method?

Wow! I've never seen that done before. (Or heard of lining like that either) It looks really great!

I do this sometimes when i have time.....it's a liitle more engaging that just running a pincil over my lash line. I never knew there was a term for it though!! LOL .........thanks crity for expanding my make-up knowledge!!

It's a great technique, it just requires a little practice. What kinda of liner do you do it with B? :)

I do this with a pencil all the time! I don't do the outer lash, though.. Simply because when I try to do it on the outer lash line, the liner ends up everywhere.. Because I suck at that apparently.. lol I had no idea there was an actual term for it, none of my friends do it that way so I honestly thought I was the only one who did. I've tend to use a Kohl liner, which I regret at the end of a long day, but at least it was pretty in the beginning, right?
