Today I am talking eye liner and there seems to be a lot of mystery about creating a famous flick. I am not so skilled in this department, having repeatedly over drawn using Bobbi Brown Gel and stabbing myself in the eye while I tight line, it just seemed it wasn't for me. I am not sure how I even came to own this product, it just appeared in the huge black hole of my make up draws. But holly grail of all black liners, my goodness is it bloody good!
What is this magic product I hear you ask?! The Wild About Beauty Line & Define Liner Pen!!!!
What is this magic product I hear you ask?! The Wild About Beauty Line & Define Liner Pen!!!!
When I did a little research into the brand for this post I was surprised to see it was co created by Louise Redknap, or my idol from the 80s 'wrap your arms around the world ey ey ey' song - you 80s kids will know what I'm talking about! The brand is all about harnessing the power of nature to create skin loving, high performing products.
The Wild About Beauty Line & Define Liner Pen is enriched with Camomile Water to sooth and protect the delicate eye area; great for my sensitive eyes! The tip is long and sturdy to give a precise line that gives a true black finish. I also like that the ink is not matte, so it leaves a high fashion gloss that I love. The liner easily applies over cream and powder eyeshadow without losing intensity and it has made flick creating so much easier. It almost acts like a stain that lasts all day and is easily removed with a makeup wipe or cleanser and that is a huge plus for me.
So here is how I use it:
2. I like to then look straight in a mirror and where the end of my eyebrow is. I pull the skin upwards and draw a line from the desired point back towards the eyelid.
3. Even out the connecting lines and alter the thickness of the lines, graphic or natural - you decide!
4 Voila! A quick method without having to keep dipping into a pot, the gel drying out or having to wash brushes.
Compared to drugstore eye liners perhaps it is a little pricey. But I have been using it for the last few months every day with no sign of it drying out and I feel it is worth the price.

DeleteGreat tips, and I don't have any to add as shamefully even though I have been wearing liner for 6 years I still haven't mastered it!

I cant live without liner, but I am still a rookie when it comes to putting it on. I can never get them to match either! xx
DeleteThis looks like a great product and even though it is on the pricey side, it's amazing that it's lasted so well. I'm alright at my eyeliner and I don't think I have any other tips, usually I don't pull at my skin or even close my eye when doing it. I guess over time (a lot of years) I have just got used to my own way of creating a flick. I have seen a lot of people using Sellotape to get a flick but I haven't tried it yet x

I think it is an investment product, I would buy it again which is a first for me! Love that tape tip! Will have to give it a go. xxx
DeleteI think it's about finding a product that you're comfortable with, and then practising over and over (and over). I find it easier using gel and a brush, rather than a felt tip. Although, it's much quicker and less fussy to use a felt tip. I'm in the middle of writing a post about this, I'll let you know when it goes up :)

I totally agree, being confident with a product is key and that can take practice. Look forward to hearing your tips. Let me know when you post it xxx
DeleteI've used Collection's Extreme 24h felt tip liner for yeeeears and absolutely swear by it :) it's pretty similar looking to this actually! And it only costs about £4 :) xx
