Using L’Oreal Infallible Stylo Eyeliner – Grey Obsession or Other

Caution - Go Slow and Steady Applying Eyeliner

Upper Lash Liner - Apply liner as close to the lash line as possible making short strokes along the upper lid blending it in well adding a bit of a smudge using a c Qtip to finish. 

Take your time using gentle short strokes until carefully filling in the desired line along upper lash line. 

Avoid moving close to the corner of your eye, start applying the eyeliner at middle of eye, or highest point of arc work toward the nose stopping near and around where the highest part of eye begins to slope inward.

Avoid getting close to corner of eye near bridge of nose or eyes will look small, this is an area older women must leave light even adding a smudge of light concealer after eye makeup is complete but before applying mascara blending it in with a clean brush and moving away from nose. 

Again, be careful to use a gentle touch when applying eye makeup, do not go over board on the eye liner, add small thin portions, stand back take a look and add more only where needed and if needed. 

Eye liner is the one thing that can wreck your makeup application so go slow and steady, less is more. 

Note: while some people pull their eye lid taunt when applying liner to get a good straight line, this is a bad idea for two reasons; it causes droopy eye lids and wrinkles around eye area, plus once eye lid returns to normal position the line can appear chunky and not smooth as older women have fine lines along eye lid thus taking it slow, feathery and careful is best.
