Practical Lessons; Graphic Liner

Graphic Liner

I enjoy going back to basics during our technical lessons with Sarah, I find learning so relaxing and easy and I am able to fully concentrate on my work and evaluate it more. 

We did graphic liners this week, which is something I really struggle to do. 

Sarah's Top Tips:

• Use a WHITE eyeliner pencil and trace where you would like the eyeliner to go
• Mark your wings, using dots of black liner, take a make up brush from the corner of the nostril right up through the outer corner of the eye and dot, take the brush up towards the end of the brow and dot again based on where you would like your eyeliner to finish. 
• Using your black liner, carefully trace a line from the first and second dot (connecting them) and take the liner in along the top lash line. 
• Use Medical Tape to get a sharper finish
• Use Gel Liners

Considering I struggle with eye make up, I think I succeeded in getting my eyeliner right at the last line, which I can always do. I struggle with the winged part as well as keeping the whole eyeliner crisp and sharp. I did my winged liner without tape and completely free hand so I am please with the outcome however, I will be using Medical Tape next time.
