This is one of my go-to tricks for even eyeliner flicks. I used it this morning, as a matter of fact!
Throughout the long, hallowed (not really) history of Karen’s Cat Eyeliner Life, Volume I, I’ve drawn a lot of cat eyeliner looks on my cat lady lids, and over all those years, I can count on one paw the number of times I’ve drawn two perfectly angled flicks. That’s how rarely it occurs!
Most of the time, it’s my left flick. The right will be OK, but the left will turn out wonky, angled either too low or too high, or too short or too long.
It’s pretty much guaranteed that one or both flicks will need an adjustment.
One quick way to fix your flicks is with an eye cream and a Q-tip. What I’ll do is soak a Q-tip with a little bit of the cream, then run that along the edges of the flick to instantly sharpen them and/or fix any mistakes, all while adding some extra moisture around my eye area (something I need anyway).
MAC Fast Response Eye Cream is one of my favorite creams to use for this trick. It’s caffeinated for anti-puffiness power and absorbs quickly into my skin without leaving behind a greasy residue, so I can layer makeup right on top of it without waiting.
Just a quick eye makeup tip if you’re sometimes error-prone (like I am).
Fierce feline flicks for everyone!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Ooh, that’s a great tip. I’ve been using Bioderma to clean up my liner mistakes. I’m right handed and my left eye is always the problem child. So I start with my left eye and try to get the right one to match it. Easier than doing the right and having to fix the left eye a couple of times.
Please tell me these photos are from another day and that you weren’t wearing a flannel shirt yesterday. Lol. Cooler weather cannot come soon enough.
Love the shadow colors, btw.
I did that with Micellar Water, but never thought about using eye cream. Might be a great option for when it gets colder though, my eyes need more moisture now than they did a few years ago.
