I've come to the conclusion that I already REALLY like cake eyeliner. This morning I had a little play and painted my eyeliner on in a shape I wouldn't normally wear. I actually quite like it, it makes my eyes look quite a bit more almond shaped. It's basically a toned down version of a lot of the Arabic inspired eyeliner looks you see. I messed up the inner corners a bit but not too bad for a first go I reckon.
The angle I used to show the liner best made it look like I have NO eyelashes... haha never mind.

I wanted to keep the lips pretty neutral as the eyes are so much more than I'm used to. Maybe I'll get creative with my liner more often now!
Lovely! May I ask which brush you used to apply?
ReplyDeleteI always just use a stiff angled eyebrow brush, but can never get results like that.
