 | Cake Eyeliner
....you've gotta try this |
Use a small, chiseled brush and a liquid medium to achieve maximum control. Water is a fine medium, but the sealant will last all day. Place a drop of water or sealant in the cover and moisten your brush, then dip the brush into the eyeliner cake. Note to makeup artists: For good hygeine, scrape the eyeliner into a dish for preparation.
"I got the cake liner in black - what a fab product this is - applies smoothly and is very black - pitchy sooty deep. I tightlined with just water and even as that I am very pleased. With sealant, this will be dynamite!" (Bridget M. Bigfork, MT)
