3. Always remember to pull the skin on the side of your face so you don’t get any gaps in your eyeliner application. Always use a Q Tip to get rid of wonky lines!
4. If you can’t get those flicks right, then why not use tape or a bit of card to get the perfect angle and thickness! Sephora have even come out with the Liner Designer to help you get your eyeliner on point!
