From ensuring each flick corresponds perfectly, to avoiding awkward smudges, nailing the perfect eyeliner look is no mean feat.
We’re constantly on the hunt for genius beauty hacks that make our makeup application regime fuss-free – and we’ve just discovered a clever eyeliner application technique we’ll be taking note of. If, like us, you always end up with one flawless flick on the left eye and a stubby little smudge on the right, listen up.
Susie Hasler, a British stylist, shared a video of her eyeliner application technique and it quickly went viral because it’s so damn simple. The secret behind her perfect feline flick? A £1 eyeshadow pad from Amazon.
As seen in the tutorial, Susie uses the simple eyeshadow pad as a stencil for her winged eyeliner – and her followers were super impressed with her technique; so much so that her video has amassed thousands of views overnight.
“I have tried so many tutorials and just can’t do it,” she said of nailing liquid eyeliner. Same, Susie, same.
“You have to make sure you place them in the right position so that the eyeliner goes up – anything that is too far down is going to drag your eyes down, which will be ageing and unflattering,” she explains.
As well as using the eyeshadow pads to perfect her eyeliner, she also uses them to apply her eyeshadow flawlessly. “It’s basically like a stencil,” Susie explains. “And it stops those dark colours going under your eyes.”
