Prestige Waterproof Eyeliner

I have heard many good things about Prestige cosmetics. 

When Rexall was having a 30% off sale I was planning on picking up the Prestige My Black Lashes mascara and  Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner in Deepest Black, but unfortunately they were sold out. 

Instead I decided to pick the Prestige Waterproof Eyeliner.

First and foremost just because the eyeliner claims to be waterproof, doesn’t mean it isn’t ‘smudge proof’. I think a lot of people have misconceptions about claims like these. 

Lately I have been using pencil eyeliner to make my wing on my upper lash line. 

I have been loving pencil eyeliner instead of liquid eyeliner because it gives a less harsh effect. Since this particular Prestige eyeliner is a little light in pigmentation I also use a black eye shadow to darken it up. The black eye shadow also helps set the eyeliner so that it doesn't smudge!

I will definitely be picking up some other Prestige cosmetics in the future!

Tight-lining Your Eyes

I’m sure we have all heard of lining our water line (bottom portion of the eye near the lower lashline) with eye liner, but what about the ‘tight-line’?

For those of you who don’t know, the tight-line is near the top lash line, closer to the eyeball. This area can be very scary to apply eyeliner because it is so close to the eye. Similar to lining your waterline, tight-lining can give you the appearance of fuller upper lashes!

Numerous times I see girls pushing their eyelid up with their fingers in order to reach the ‘tight-line’ area. I also hear that you shouldn’t  pull or tug on the skin near your eye, so why pull to tight-line?

My solution is to tight-line when applying mascara. 

To tight-line while applying mascara use one hand to lift your lashes up with the mascara wand and your other hand to smooth on the eye liner. It gives you more control!

While you apply your mascara you are lifting your lashes anyway, and it also makes it easier to reach your tight-line. I find this technique to be much more gentle and easier than using you finger because at the same time you are pushing your lashes upward with the mascara wand.

Try this technique out for yourself! Using waterproof eyeliner on the tight-line will also make your liner stay on longer. Let me know how it works for you!
