Eyeliner

We started our lesson today by looking brushes and products such as Gel, cake, liquid and kohl when doing eyeliner. We then looked at things to take into consideration applying eyeliner. Eye shape and wrinkles are the main things to look out for when doing eyeliner, as it can affect the shape of your line.

Eyeliner using Blacktrack

Eyeliner using Aquacolour

For this part of the look I definitely preferred the aquacolour, because I felt as if the shape I created with it suited my models eye more. I also liked the more intense black the aquacolour had.

Next we looked at graphic liners.

Demo by Branka Vorkapic

I loved this look that Branka created. It is very simple but effective. I really like how the pink lip is slightly reflected with the pink used below the eye.

When it was time to change the look and create a graphic liner, I definitely spent too much time on my models face rather than experimenting with the liner. I particularly felt like I had trouble with the base, as I didn't really like it on my models skin. As I spent too much time in this specific area, I quickly came up with a simple design which I wasn't really happy with. I would definitely go and revisit this to come up with something more interesting and unique
