Consensus from the worlds of beauty and
fashion: Eyeliner is back!
Does this scare you a little? If not, you
may be a little too attached to your eyeliner already. Either way,
there are some professional tricks that can make eyeliner a good thing
on occasion, not just something that imposes itself on your otherwise
lovely face, as most eyeliner does. The trick? Using the new colored
and soft metallic liners in shades of bronze, brownish-mauve and even
dusky blues applied subtly, staying very close to the lashline.
For bit of "edge", apply to upper or lower lashline,
not both. Skip the powder shadow and keep the skin demi-matte, with
as little foundation as possible. Keep lips neutral if your using
more daring colors, or go for a watered-down bright shade (apply
a small amount of highly pigmented gloss, or mix pencil with clear
gloss or lip balm.) The new Bath and Body Work's line, Beautiful
by Nature has great, wearable purpley-brown eyeliner pencils and
a lip color called Red Grape that looks "current" but
wont make you a "victim," if you know what I mean.
