Beauty Tip #2: Emphasize the Eyes Using the Tightlining Method

What does it mean to Tightline?




         Tightlining the eye is done when a eyeliner is applied to the top inside rims of the lashline. This can emphazise the eyes and give the illusion that lashes are fuller and thicker. A cake liner, gel liner or pencil liner can be used for tightlining. However, if you are going to use a pencil liner, I recommend that it is waterproof to ensure its wearability throughout the day. If I am just going to wear mascara on my eyes I always try to tightline because it gives the eyes more depth without looking overly done.
My Recommendations
Pencil: 
1. Milani Liquif'Eye Pencil in Black
2. Loreal Extra Intense Liquid Eyeliner in Black
3. Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes Pencil in 0L
Cake Eyeliners: 
-Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eyeliner and E.L.F. Concealer Brush (a small precise flat brush)

  2. Milani is probably the best pencil liner for tightlining- creamy, stays put and it is really opaque :)
