Yves Saint Laurent COUTURE EYELINER

Here are some tips and tricks to turn symmetric eyeliner application into a easy, simple yet precise operation:

- Apply an eye base to clean, toned upper eyelid skin. Otherwise, a translucent powder to absorb excess oiliness in that area.

- If you are going to apply eye shadow, do so before applying the eyeliner.

- Avoid applying the eyeliner in a single stroke, in order to {ensure a precise line. Draw small dots along the upper line of the eyelashes, keeping the same space between each one.

- Then, with short swift strokes, join up the dots in a thin line. If there is any space left between the line and the eyelashes, fill it in for a softer looks.

- Draw the corner on the outside of the lashes to create a continuous eyelash line. This can be more emphasized or discreet, depending on the look you want to achieve.

- Finally, for a more intense look and to finish the makeup, apply a mascara.
