Hi Tamara, I am not sure I am commenting in the right place as I am a newbie to TH-cam commenting. Thank you so much for this tight living tip! I used to do it, and it was simple, but I now have this strange vision problem which gives me vertical double vision Both eyes see fine, just not in the same place. So applying makeup, especially eye liner, is quite a challenge!. I find it so much simpler to use this technique, as I am only looking in the mirror with one eye! Thank you so much! I am not sure how to find the product descriptions in the notes? I am curious about the eyeliners you used! Thank you so much again! I
@@rosemaryelsa6945 Hi Rosemary! And welcome to TH-cam! You Tube has made it a little hard to find the description box, so I usually copy it to a pinned comment which will be the very first comment you see at the top of the comment box. Just open the comment and scroll down and you will see all the products named and linked. Hope this helps!
Hi Tamara. I have worked in ophthalmology for the last 30 years, and I am so glad you mentioned precautions and how doing this to the 'water line' can affect the eyes. I have seen many women with dry eyes and even infections because they pack on the makeup in that area, and as we age, we are more and more prone to dry eye in the first place. However, it is a VERY beautiful look on you, so I am even going to try it myself. You are right... it makes your lashes look lush and your eyes stand out. Thanks for the 'lesson'.
Thank you so much Christine! I tried to hit the risks, but forgot to mention infection. I hope people watch Dr. Rupa’s excellent video! Good luck with your tightlining!
Hi there, yes, I’m in my 60s and I’ve been told by my optician to stop wearing any form of eye liner, even though I’m careful when applying (I too worked as a retinal eye screener until retiring last year) any products, ive now got dry eye, could be also be age related , but when My eyes were examined under the slip lamp with no eye make up on he could see debris of eye liner still there! Think it’s time to stop using it for myself! Wouldn’t mind I only did this if I was going somewhere special …keep safe everyone 🥰
For anyone searching for makeup, please check to see if they are cruelty free. There are many methods to test cosmetics that are effective and don't involve helpless animals. Thank you!!
My recent purchase and now my favorite for tight lining (that doesn’t mess up my contacts) is the Lancôme’s LE STYLO WATERPROOF LONG-LASTING EYELINER. It comes in 9 shades. It’s a little on the pricey side, but lasts a long time for me. $28
@@stephaniesalazar1765 you’re so welcome! This is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t affect my contacts. All others would cause blurring and spots on my lenses.
I have tight-lined for decades, long before it had a name. I use L’Oréal Infallible 16 Hr eyeliner in Carbon Black. Stays put all day. I never put it on my lower lid, so it makes my eyes seem brighter. I have hooded lids so heavy eyeliner above the eyes always ends up on my upper lid. I will give your tips for the lighter shade on the lower lid a try. Thanks for this informative video!
Just an FYI, the Urban Decay pencil eyeliners are the softest I have found. I get them when ultra has their spring make up specials and Urban Decay pencils are 50% off.
Hi Tamara! Watching this a little late than when you first posted. I’ve tried every technique & can’t go very far up the tightline. THIS is a good way~~ I’m going to try this! I have very pretty green eyes~~ get compliments all the time ~~ this technique will get me even more nice comments ~~ thank you!!! Just want to find a couple really good black pencils for tightlining!!!!! I love using a flesh colored pencil for the waterline~~ it really brings eyes out! Sometimes I use a green shade or lavender on waterline for my green eyes. Wow~~ the jet black tightlining will REALLY make my green eyes POP! 💚
Took me a week to master the tight line technique. I prefer to line the lashes from above very close because doing the waterline makes my eyes look smaller.
I LOVE to enhance both the tight line in a darker brown pencil better for mature and blondes & water line. Water lining with a beautiful Sephora 12 hour colorfull pencil in "Fresh Mint" looks beautiful with my green eyes! Try water lining also....just don't use a dark pencil for the water line, use a color to enhance your eye color!!!
I use Almay gel eyeliner to tight line. My eyes are very sensitive, and Almay doesn't make them burn or get red. After chemotherapy, my eyelashes never grew back all the way, and tight lining has been a life-saver!
I begin doing this years ago long before I knew it was a bona fide make up technique with an actual name. I realized that I could make my lashes look thicker if I filled in the space between lashes at their base. I used to soft gel pencil. I’d start at the outer corner and bring my lid down against the pencil and then simultaneously move the pencil up against the lid to deposit pigment between the lashes at the base. I continued doing this all along the lash line. It worked! I only recently added the back-and-forth movement to make the line more dramatic but I don’t do that all the time. Nice to know that someone else came up with the same idea. Great minds think alike as they say! God bless.
I love your look with the shades of grey and pop of pink. Two things I cannot bear to do is curl my eyelashes with one of those horrid looking devices or tight line. You never mentioned how long it took you to develop your tight line technique, but you certainly were determined. I’m definitely a quitter! 😂 In case others have my reaction to tight lining and like me stop trying, Smitha Deepak demonstrated my new favorite eye lining technique called a “puppy dog eye” that is my new go-to. Instead of fighting the hood or shape of eye it lets you accentuate the roundness. She also shows how to “stamp” the liquid eyeliner on. Thank goodness for you folks on YT teaching all of us the useful things you’ve learned or developed.
Thank you. Aging has thinned my lashes and this seems to be a solution. God Bless Buy the way.. I have never worn make up.. just starting at 66 years old 😂😂 God is good
I am still working on mastering the tight lining technique - even this one. I’ll get it one day. I do have chronic dry eye so I am going to watch the Dr’s video next. Thanks for this lesson. Again, I just love the bloopers!
I have dry eye too but still tightline, using eyedrops does help some, good luck ! Yeah it's a small sacrifice for the great results this technique lends.. 👍
I’ve just started to do this (aged64!!) and the very best result I had was with a Victoria Beckham eye pencil, it’s very very soft but gave a great result. It did however transfer onto my lower lash line, but it still looked great and lasted SO well. The next best was the Charlotte Tilbury pencils, both the VB and CT are very soft so that’s maybe why it works so well…
Oh my gosh. All I could think of was in the 80’s how we used to take that maybelline red-painted hard black liner, melt it with a match or lighter then go to town on the lower waterline and on the lids/under lower lashes. Lol. We didn’t call it tight lining, but I remember how I eventually stopped doing it because I hated the black eye goop in the corner of all of our eyes 2 hours after being in school! Thank you for showing the between the lash technique. I’m struggling to give up my black eyeliner (my eyes are dark brown). I used the CT brown liner yesterday and really liked it. I also have learned about using a white pencil on the lower line to help brighten the sclera. I’m not sure I really like that contrast though. It can be noticeable. Stay warm up there! I saw you had a sweater AND a jacket on! 😊💖💜
Right?! The eighties and even the nineties were all about heavy eye pencil all around the eyes…I remember the black eye gunk ick! And yes…freezing here…I also have thermals under the cashmere LOL!
Thanks for a great tutorial! I noticed that before you applied mascara, your tightlined eye really popped and looked great! 61 and live rural. Being too glamorous around here might get me shunned, LOL. I’ll be trying this as soon as I can get a new pencil. I like the technique because it’s subtle!
I’m an old hand (heh) at tightlining, what I really appreciated here was the description of your skin type and which foundation you are using. I have been trying to find one that works after a 10 year break up with makeup. My 60 year old skin is hard to please, but I’m going to get a sample of that foundation today. Thanks!
I'm British and discovered kohl pencils many years which are ideal for the technique you demonstrate. I have been using the pencils under my upper lash line for years, alternating between either black or navy blue.
Yes ❗️❗️❗️ precious lid space is the key. I started doing this a few months ago and love it. Makes my eyes look big and youthful. I do not put anything on bottom . I love the Revlon Color stay waterproof long wearing ultra fine tip pencil.. It's very creamy glides on no pulling . Drys instantly no smudges or irritation. I love the Brown it's very dark . The black looks too hard on us after 50. Great video.
The techniques you demonstrated are excellent. I usually do a super thin liquid liner on my upper lash line to avoid eating up my tiny lid space. I don't do the tight line because I battle a pretty severe dry eye condition which I treat with prescription meds and don't want to block the gland openings. Occasionally I will do the scrubbing into the lashes method. Your hair has grown a lot the past few months and looks beautiful 💖
Me either Tamara , never heard tight lining . I can’t do it on the upper . I become anxious putting anything near my actual eye . Recently had BLEPHARITIS, I’m wearing less eye make less often . Agree eyeliner about lid shrinks the eyes , I do it but right into the lash itself . You did a fab job , love the look xxx
Hi Tamara! This is the first video of yours I have seen, and I thought it was awesome! Your eyes look beautiful! What a great way to define your eyes without pulling on your eyelids! think I can actually do this!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us!! You have a new subscriber!! 🥰
Very helpful video, thank you. I noticed it was challenging for me to remove the liner. I happened to look in my 15 x mirror after I thought I had cleansed my face but there was still some color at the root of my lashes. I now use a cleansing oil and rub it gently but thoroughly into the lashes and that does the trick. It’s easy to miss.
Hi Tamara, Great demo...I kind of do the same as you, but I often - not always - use eyeshadow. I sometimes spray a setting lotion on my brush and then apply. I think "scrubbing" between the lashes makes a bit difference. Your demonstration was so good. This past summer, after a friend did so (and I asked MaryEllen so many times what she thought), I had permanent eyeliner done. It is the boldest thing I have ever done to myself!!! 😂 It is so subtle that I can barely notice it, but it makes a huge difference. It's soft and makes my eyes look more defined but no one knows why. Even my daughter hasn't caught on yet. I am waiting!!! Have a great week...Carol
You have to find a very qualified person to do this properly. I’ve watched a few videos of people that did not have good results. Glad it worked out for you!
I tried your way and it worked! I was a bit nervous as I do tight line but I usually pull my eyelid up - so thank you for showing me this new method! I love the fact that it makes my lashes look thicker, which is much needed.
With my finger, I go under the lashes and push my lashes back up against the lid and tight line. It's the only way I can tight line without going into a sneezing fit.
I Loved my Marc Jacobs eye liners & was bummed when he stopped selling them. I have listened to Mandy Davis for a very long time promoting the Pixie Eyeliners, endless silky eye pens, so finally I got one in Black Cocoa & one in Black Noir, And OMG!!! they are even better than Marc Jacobs & last all day & do not irritate my eyes. They are just wonderful & my 74 1/2 year old eyes love them! I just wanted to share this with you. And I loved when you were doing your eyes you said to pull the skin on the eyes to smooth out the wrinkles & now I always do just that! Thank you!
I’ve tried so many eyeliners for tight lining and they always transfer to the bottom waterline and eventually gather in the corner of my eye. I have sensitive eyes as well and it just seems to exasperate this. My optometrist was so upset when I went in for an eye exam and she saw that I had tight lined, I definitely struggle with dry eye, so she insisted I stop. It’s such a shame because as I age lid space is becoming scarce.
I have same problem, the liner either smudges on me because of my eyes get so watery or it collects in my tear duct. I personally gave up on tightline eyeliner simply because my eyes get too irritated for it.
I've been tight lining few years. It makes a big difference for me as I have hooded eyes and can't wear eyeliner like a lot of women do. I've done mine holding my eye lid up but like you said I sometimes stick my eye which will irriate it. Will try your technique and hope I get it. Thanks for the video ❤
i use it cosmetics tightlining mascara the wand is so thin its perfect just the job if you cant wear eyeliner it does exactly the same job as an eyeliner but as its a mascara it adds colour to the very inside of your eye lid and looks so natural give it a try .
I loved this recommendation. I was holding my eye open and applying too much product. With dry eye this really bothered my eyes and exacerbated my problem so I rarely put liner on the top lid. Now just closing my eye and applying this as you demonstrated really worked well!
Hi Tamara, I never heard of tight lining until 2 years ago. I di mine differently than you do and I also use dark eyeshadow instead of a liner. I guess it is all in what we feel comfortable with. You did that so easily so you have worked out what method works best for you. Great video Tamara! Much love, Sheila
I started tightlining in a very similar way- now I am able to keep my eye open for the process... but honestly... my hat is off to those gals who are able to hold their eyelids up keeping their eyes wide open👀👀👀! YIKES! Sure, I used to place contacts in in my eyes... but they were not a pointy pencil type object! 😆😲😳! Thanks for sharing! Keep Yourself Well...💚
Hi Tamara - Thanks for this video. I have tried tight lining and really struggle with it. I am going to try your method. Thanks for sharing. I am 74 years old but I still like to look my best - it just makes me feel good. God bless you.
Tried your technique immediately and it worked! I had tried tight lining a few times and had either poked my eye,or made it water, not this time. Thank you so much for this very simple guide to Tight lining!
Thank you for this! I have never tightlined before because I didn't really know what I was doing and I get the heebie jeebies coming in that close to my eyeball. I tried your tip today and it worked perfectly. Yay! My eyes looked so much more opened up and bright. Great video!
I watched a video of yours on tight lining a few months ago and it was such a game changer. I never could get the hang of it before but now I do it every day with such ease! Thank you! I’ve been using an old Chanel brown eyeliner that I had been hanging on to. Works great! 😘
Thank you! This has been the best, most informative tutorial I’ve come across on tight lining. I tried it and it was so easy, my eyes didn’t water. I can’t thank you enough ❤️
Thank you for your patience in showing us how to tight line. I havevreally never been crazy about eye liner on my top eye lid and never used liquid eye liner. I'm very basic in the amount of make up that I have always worn and I do like the fact tight lining gives us more definition without crowding our eye lid...thank you again!!
This technique kind of reminds me of how we'd apply black pencil in the pre 60s (before liquid eyeliner became popular). We would line it between top and bottom -- not just the top.
your trick to apply the pencil it"'s a game changer😍😍😍😍 and also do not apply the pencil to the end of the eye ,I didn't understand why it looked like I had downturned eyes , but thanks to you I understood why
My waterline is wide and quite noticeable; I tightline nearly every day. I have always used the lift-the-lid technique, but watching the way you do your tightline, and how pretty the results are, I am definitely going to try your method. Thanks so much for sharing it with us, and thank you for all of your wonderful and entertaining content. At the age of 64, your videos are so much more realistic and helpful for someone my age than watching the 20, 30 and 40-somethings doing makeup on their smooth, unwrinkled skin!
Oh my gosh, Tamara!!! I’m soooo glad I found your channel!! I’m 51 and can never achieve the looks of the younger folks!! Mature skin is a whole different beast! Your videos are very helpful and your general sincerity make them easy to follow and I feel like it possible to attain all these looks!!Thank you so much for helping us out!💜
I totally agree with you. Makeup on mature skin is very different. My biggest thing is LESS is MORE, especially when it comes to foundation. I myself am 56 and also have a beauty channel for skincare and makeup for mature women. I love how Tamara explains everything so calmly and easily. She’s great!
I didn’t know we were prone to dry eyes as we get older. I have heard of dryness you know…down there. But I guess it makes sense that the eyes are affected too.
Looks great on you, Tamara! My eyes water easily so I don’t bother trying to tight line. In fact I didn’t even use eyeliner until my 40s. I have naturally long curled lashes and felt my eyes looked more open and lash length was best emphasized without eyeliner. Now my lashes aren’t as thick so I just do a thin amount close to the lash line and in between lashes. It’s enough to give definition for my liking. My bigger challenge is under eye pooling after I apply concealer. For some reason concealer causes my under eyes to look saggier than before I apply it. I just bought Kosas shade 1.5 and it looks good at first but within 20 minutes I am fighting newly formed bags. I try all the techniques and find I am happier without it. Poor me. Lol.
I have a similar problem. We all are unique! I have dry skin and moisturize my under eye a lot. Still even moisturizing concealer dries out my under eyes. I’m not giving up yet.
Tamara, I'm going to give tight-lining another try using your technique! It definitely makes a noticeable difference and enhances your eyes. Thanks so much,, Sharon
I can recommend to tightline as the very first make up step. Then you do not mess up the foundation when resting the hand on the cheek and if I get eyeliner on the lid (if I blink) there is no problem, I can just wipe it off.
I just found you. I had seen your video about Revitalash and lattise. I have been using lattise for years. Your eyelashes are amazing. I tried Revitalash years ago I am going to give it another try
Excellent video! I’ve alway struggled with this technique. Do you ever have trouble with transfer to lower lid? Great close up! Loved the end… 😂 Thanks 😊
Thank you Joan! I do get a tiny bit of transfer to my lower waterline sometimes, but it doesn’t bother me…I actually think it slightly defines the lower lash line,
Tightl lining is a much better way of making eyes pop especially when your lids are hooded and eyes are small. Also you can still add that little flick at the outer corner for more lift
I’ve been tightlining since HS! I actually just tightline on weekends always used the L’Oréal gel liner in pod and just bought that eyeliner after years of buying high end liners
This is very helpful. I have small deep set eyes, so I usually don’t put any liner on my lower lashes at all because I don’t want to make them look smaller. Tight lining is definitely challenging. My eyes always water, and I don’t think it stays put very well. Going to try this technique. Thank you!
Thank YOU! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. The lipstick is BK beauty lipstick in the shade passion. It’s linked in the description box and us on sale through Feb 14!
I have small eyes and have used my mascara to do something similar to this which kind of works. But I’m going to try this technique. Your eyes are beautiful!
Thank you! I love how tight-lining looks, but have been frustrated by the same difficult techniques you said you had trouble with, too. Very cool. I appreciate your work!
I put a peachy type color in my waterline on the bottom. Sometimes I use white, it opens the eyes up My favorite is Tarte ‘s fake awake Tight lining on the top if I don’t use black I love to use blue or purple. It makes my blue eyes pop. For reference I am turning 48
I have always been so nervous about tight lining 😱. When experimenting as a teen I always got itchy eyes trying this, lol. Great tutorial & explanation. I had to watch twice 🤪!! Definitely going to try this again 🥰
Excellent video!!!!! I have not tried this yet and I have only tried tight lining two other times and is very difficult for me. Your method looks much easier! Such a beautiful difference when you did your eyes! You look fantastic. Thankyou for this video! Very helpful!!
The other issue is that as we age, those glands deteriorate! That’s one of the causes of dry eye. Great video - very helpful. Look forward to trying your technique! Your eyelashes look great - do you use a lash formula? Thanks so much😎. P.S. Bloopers are funny.
I rarely comment on videos, but I just found your channel today, and as soon as I saw this video, I ran off to the bathroom to try this technique. Where has it been all my life? I have blinked so many times while tightlining, which then makes a vertical pencil line up onto my lid that has to be removed quickly before it dries. 😡 Thank you SO MUCH for this video-immediately subscribed to your channel!
I got the dry eye problem from tight lining.☹️ it took me a while to figure it out. It now I know it’s what caused it. May try again for occasional use.
I wonder if anyone has a suggestion: I have never been able to find a product that doesn’t end up giving me raccoon eyes! Even using waterproof products! It’s so frustrating. Has anyone had this problem also yet been able to find an eyeliner that doesn’t do this? Thx!
Hi Debbie. My mom is in her 70’s and has had this issue all her life. She has oilier lids/waterlines. We’re trying a good tubing mascara for her upper and lower lashes (the MAC that Tamara recommended) and she generally doesn’t use eyeliner. She focuses more on her lashes and brows. Maybe try Tamara’s technique for going between the lashes and not on the actual waterline. Hope that’s somewhat helpful! 😊💖💜
I sometimes pull my upper lid to the side to get more control. I also use my dark brown brow pencil instead of an eyeliner. Works in both places and it’s a nice soft pencil tip.
Thank you so much Tamra for this excellent, thorough explanation of tight lining. I’m so glad I found your channel. I couldn’t get quite whiny either when I watched all the other TH-cam videos. I kept blinking and practically poking my eye. I haven’t tried your method yet but I will. Thank you so much for this very excellent explanation
Hi Tamara! Yes definitely tight lining takes plenty of practice. Thank you for sharing your great tips. I have to agree, l'oreal Le Liner is amazing, I have all the shades too. Hope you have a great week my friend, take care! 🤗💕
Excellent tutorial Tamara. I'm gonna try this. Usually I just lift my lid gently with my finger. Also, gonna stop where you do, not go all the way to corner. Makes sense. Recently purchased the Loreal liners in brown and blue. They do glide and last. I'd repurchase. 🤗Also, today I purchased a small size of the Kiehls eye cream. 🤞 Thanks for recommendations.
Every time I see people do their technique, I’m like there is no wait can do that! I have to pull my eye lid up and I do it before shadow. But it makes my eye water. I also get transfer on my lower eye and it runs in the corners of my eye. No matter what brand. Marc Jacobs, L’Oréal le liner, essence. Always groups up in my outside corner. Maybe it’s just my eye and face shape. My eyes get squinty when I smile. 😄
Dear Tamera, I saw your thumbnail for "tight lining your eyes" in my TH-cam feed and jumped right on. I have tried it but OMW I just cannot seem to finish it or make it even look decent. Your demonstrated seemed effortlessly, so I gave it a go and voila...I did it! Well, not on the first try but I could tell it did make a big difference. Thank you. 😊 I also watched the tour and your lovely small cottage and that downsizing is definitely for HUSBAND and me. I am enjoying your channel and your bloopers, at the end, were so funny and shows us...YES...they are just like we are. 😅 ~Joanna♡ NW Ohio
Great segment! I just started tight lining by watching an older video of yours and my boss (I only see her once a month) says “are you doing Latisse?” 😁. I also love L’Oréal eyelash primer. I don’t tightline my lower lashes bc when i went to the eye doctor for new glasses I discovered have a very small cyst on one eye near my lower lashes ! I thought it was a milia.
Hi Tamara! I'm so happy I found your channel! I was just wondering about this tight lining technique. Since the eyeliner will be placed on that inner eye line, will it wear off relatively fast? Otherwise, do you have to keep reapplying it throughout the day? Or if anybody else here in the comment section would chime in, I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much!
Hi Tina! I’m so glad you found my channel too! Welcome…I’m super happy to have you here. The L’Oreal infallible Gel liner that I linked below lasts quite long on my tightline. Also, because it is applied in between the lashes as well it tends to stay out. I don’t reapply. Not all liners last well there tho…look for waterproof or long wear. One of my friends swears by Hourglass but L’Oreal works fine for me. Hope this helps!
I love the WET and WILD Walking on Eggshells (which I think you talked about) and the Gwen Stefani GIVE quad in Simple Kind of Life, all mattes but so subtle and pretty
Yes! The original Wet N Wild Walking on Eggshells was a favorite for years...I loved the soft pink satin lid shade and the cool taupes and browns. I purchased multiple times. Infortunatley, the updated version leans just a tad too warm and peachy for me...but beautiful formula! The GIVE quad sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the video on tight-lining! I had heard of tight-lining but really didn't know what it involved until I found your channel. I have tried several pencil liners and you are so right that the LeLiner is the easiest and softest to use for best results. I have only used the brown denim color but hope to find the navy and charcoal colors to try. I am getting more comfortable with the process and have found that it does not add issues to my dry eyes. Thanks so much for sharing this technique. Hope you have a wonderful week! xo

Hi Tamara, I am not sure I am commenting in the right place as I am a newbie to TH-cam commenting. Thank you so much for this tight living tip! I used to do it, and it was simple, but I now have this strange vision problem which gives me vertical double vision Both eyes see fine, just not in the same place. So applying makeup, especially eye liner, is quite a challenge!. I find it so much simpler to use this technique, as I am only looking in the mirror with one eye! Thank you so much! I am not sure how to find the product descriptions in the notes? I am curious about the eyeliners you used! Thank you so much again! I
@@rosemaryelsa6945 Hi Rosemary! And welcome to TH-cam! You Tube has made it a little hard to find the description box, so I usually copy it to a pinned comment which will be the very first comment you see at the top of the comment box. Just open the comment and scroll down and you will see all the products named and linked. Hope this helps!
Hi Tamara. I have worked in ophthalmology for the last 30 years, and I am so glad you mentioned precautions and how doing this to the 'water line' can affect the eyes. I have seen many women with dry eyes and even infections because they pack on the makeup in that area, and as we age, we are more and more prone to dry eye in the first place. However, it is a VERY beautiful look on you, so I am even going to try it myself. You are right... it makes your lashes look lush and your eyes stand out. Thanks for the 'lesson'.
Thank you so much Christine! I tried to hit the risks, but forgot to mention infection. I hope people watch Dr. Rupa’s excellent video! Good luck with your tightlining!

Hi there, yes, I’m in my 60s and I’ve been told by my optician to stop wearing any form of eye liner, even though I’m careful when applying (I too worked as a retinal eye screener until retiring last year) any products, ive now got dry eye, could be also be age related , but when My eyes were examined under the slip lamp with no eye make up on he could see debris of eye liner still there! Think it’s time to stop using it for myself! Wouldn’t mind I only did this if I was going somewhere special …keep safe everyone 🥰
I tried this technique, making applying a thin application of eyeliner VERY easy. Best technique yet.
@TamarasTimelessBeauty You were very responsible sharing this precaution! Thank you.
For anyone searching for makeup, please check to see if they are cruelty free. There are many methods to test cosmetics that are effective and don't involve helpless animals. Thank you!!
I SO appreciate a more mature woman (who is btw gorgeous) giving a tutorial to her peers. Bravo.
A helpful trick I was taught at modelling school... for eye makeup....
Open your mouth.... It stops you blinking
Works 😊💜💋
Tight lining is challenging, but well worth the practice. Helps to lift my 57 year old hooded eyes. Thank you for the great tips.
My recent purchase and now my favorite for tight lining (that doesn’t mess up my contacts) is the Lancôme’s LE STYLO WATERPROOF LONG-LASTING EYELINER. It comes in 9 shades. It’s a little on the pricey side, but lasts a long time for me. $28
Thank you for sharing your recommendation!
Thanks for the recommendation!! I also wear contacts and i love tight lining
@@stephaniesalazar1765 you’re so welcome! This is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t affect my contacts. All others would cause blurring and spots on my lenses.
I have tight-lined for decades, long before it had a name. I use L’Oréal Infallible 16 Hr eyeliner in Carbon Black. Stays put all day. I never put it on my lower lid, so it makes my eyes seem brighter. I have hooded lids so heavy eyeliner above the eyes always ends up on my upper lid. I will give your tips for the lighter shade on the lower lid a try. Thanks for this informative video!
Hi. Does it transfer to your lower waterline please?
@@juliedellow no, not usually. I love it!
Just an FYI, the Urban Decay pencil eyeliners are the softest I have found. I get them when ultra has their spring make up specials and Urban Decay pencils are 50% off.
Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Hi Tamara! Watching this a little late than when you first posted. I’ve tried every technique & can’t go very far up the tightline. THIS is a good way~~ I’m going to try this! I have very pretty green eyes~~ get compliments all the time ~~ this technique will get me even more nice comments ~~ thank you!!!
Just want to find a couple really good black pencils for tightlining!!!!! I love using a flesh colored pencil for the waterline~~ it really brings eyes out! Sometimes I use a green shade or lavender on waterline for my green eyes. Wow~~ the jet black tightlining will REALLY make my green eyes POP!
💚
Took me a week to master the tight line technique. I prefer to line the lashes from above very close because doing the waterline makes my eyes look smaller.
I LOVE to enhance both the tight line in a darker brown pencil better for mature and blondes & water line. Water lining with a beautiful Sephora 12 hour colorfull pencil in "Fresh Mint" looks beautiful with my green eyes! Try water lining also....just don't use a dark pencil for the water line, use a color to enhance your eye color!!!
I use Almay gel eyeliner to tight line. My eyes are very sensitive, and Almay doesn't make them burn or get red. After chemotherapy, my eyelashes never grew back all the way, and tight lining has been a life-saver!
I begin doing this years ago long before I knew it was a bona fide make up technique with an actual name. I realized that I could make my lashes look thicker if I filled in the space between lashes at their base. I used to soft gel pencil. I’d start at the outer corner and bring my lid down against the pencil and then simultaneously move the pencil up against the lid to deposit pigment between the lashes at the base. I continued doing this all along the lash line. It worked! I only recently added the back-and-forth movement to make the line more dramatic but I don’t do that all the time. Nice to know that someone else came up with the same idea. Great minds think alike as they say! God bless.
I love your look with the shades of grey and pop of pink. Two things I cannot bear to do is curl my eyelashes with one of those horrid looking devices or tight line. You never mentioned how long it took you to develop your tight line technique, but you certainly were determined. I’m definitely a quitter! 😂 In case others have my reaction to tight lining and like me stop trying, Smitha Deepak demonstrated my new favorite eye lining technique called a “puppy dog eye” that is my new go-to. Instead of fighting the hood or shape of eye it lets you accentuate the roundness. She also shows how to “stamp” the liquid eyeliner on.
Thank goodness for you folks on YT teaching all of us the useful things you’ve learned or developed.
I love Smitha but somehow missed that video…I’m going to check it out for sure. Thx for sharing! ❤️
Thank you. Aging has thinned my lashes and this seems to be a solution. God Bless
Buy the way.. I have never worn make up.. just starting at 66 years old 😂😂 God is good
I am still working on mastering the tight lining technique - even this one. I’ll get it one day. I do have chronic dry eye so I am going to watch the Dr’s video next. Thanks for this lesson. Again, I just love the bloopers!
I have dry eye too but still tightline, using eyedrops does help some, good luck ! Yeah it's a small sacrifice for the great results this technique lends.. 👍
I’ve just started to do this (aged64!!) and the very best result I had was with a Victoria Beckham eye pencil, it’s very very soft but gave a great result. It did however transfer onto my lower lash line, but it still looked great and lasted SO well. The next best was the Charlotte Tilbury pencils, both the VB and CT are very soft so that’s maybe why it works so well…
Oh my gosh. All I could think of was in the 80’s how we used to take that maybelline red-painted hard black liner, melt it with a match or lighter then go to town on the lower waterline and on the lids/under lower lashes. Lol. We didn’t call it tight lining, but I remember how I eventually stopped doing it because I hated the black eye goop in the corner of all of our eyes 2 hours after being in school!
Thank you for showing the between the lash technique. I’m struggling to give up my black eyeliner (my eyes are dark brown). I used the CT brown liner yesterday and really liked it. I also have learned about using a white pencil on the lower line to help brighten the sclera. I’m not sure I really like that contrast though. It can be noticeable. Stay warm up there! I saw you had a sweater AND a jacket on! 😊💖💜
Right?! The eighties and even the nineties were all about heavy eye pencil all around the eyes…I remember the black eye gunk ick! And yes…freezing here…I also have thermals under the cashmere LOL!
Thanks for a great tutorial! I noticed that before you applied mascara, your tightlined eye really popped and looked great! 61 and live rural. Being too glamorous around here might get me shunned, LOL. I’ll be trying this as soon as I can get a new pencil. I like the technique because it’s subtle!
I’m an old hand (heh) at tightlining, what I really appreciated here was the description of your skin type and which foundation you are using. I have been trying to find one that works after a 10 year break up with makeup. My 60 year old skin is hard to please, but I’m going to get a sample of that foundation today. Thanks!
Your energy/ vibe is really lovely and warm.
I'm British and discovered kohl pencils many years which are ideal for the technique you demonstrate. I have been using the pencils under my upper lash line for years, alternating between either black or navy blue.
Yes ❗️❗️❗️ precious lid space is the key. I started doing this a few months ago and love it. Makes my eyes look big and youthful. I do not put anything on bottom . I love the Revlon Color stay waterproof long wearing ultra fine tip pencil.. It's very creamy glides on no pulling . Drys instantly no smudges or irritation. I love the Brown it's very dark . The black looks too hard on us after 50. Great video.
The techniques you demonstrated are excellent. I usually do a super thin liquid liner on my upper lash line to avoid eating up my tiny lid space. I don't do the tight line because I battle a pretty severe dry eye condition which I treat with prescription meds and don't want to block the gland openings. Occasionally I will do the scrubbing into the lashes method. Your hair has grown a lot the past few months and looks beautiful 💖
Me either Tamara , never heard tight lining . I can’t do it on the upper . I become anxious putting anything near my actual eye .
Recently had BLEPHARITIS, I’m wearing less eye make less often .
Agree eyeliner about lid shrinks the eyes , I do it but right into the lash itself . You did a fab job , love the look xxx
It really makes quite a difference! I wear contacts and also have dry eye so I am not sure I will be able to do this.
Hi Tamara! This is the first video of yours I have seen, and I thought it was awesome! Your eyes look beautiful! What a great way to define your eyes without pulling on your eyelids! think I can actually do this!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us!! You have a new subscriber!! 🥰
Very helpful video, thank you. I noticed it was challenging for me to remove the liner. I happened to look in my 15 x mirror after I thought I had cleansed my face but there was still some color at the root of my lashes. I now use a cleansing oil and rub it gently but thoroughly into the lashes and that does the trick. It’s easy to miss.
Cleansing oil has been a game changer for me too!
I use good old ponds cold cream after clean your face
Thank you for the video on tightlining. Others merely skip over the technique.
I love the Charlotte Tilbury eyeliner pencil, it glides on my waterline so easily.
Thanks for sharing your recommendation Cathy! ❤️
Terrific tips! Can you please share some tips on the best way to remove the tightline makeup at the end of the day? Thank you!
Hi Tamara, Great demo...I kind of do the same as you, but I often - not always - use eyeshadow. I sometimes spray a setting lotion on my brush and then apply. I think "scrubbing" between the lashes makes a bit difference. Your demonstration was so good. This past summer, after a friend did so (and I asked MaryEllen so many times what she thought), I had permanent eyeliner done. It is the boldest thing I have ever done to myself!!! 😂 It is so subtle that I can barely notice it, but it makes a huge difference. It's soft and makes my eyes look more defined but no one knows why. Even my daughter hasn't caught on yet. I am waiting!!! Have a great week...Carol
You have to find a very qualified person to do this properly. I’ve watched a few videos of people that did not have good results. Glad it worked out for you!
I tried your way and it worked! I was a bit nervous as I do tight line but I usually pull my eyelid up - so thank you for showing me this new method! I love the fact that it makes my lashes look thicker, which is much needed.
With my finger, I go under the lashes and push my lashes back up against the lid and tight line.
It's the only way I can tight line without going into a sneezing fit.
I Loved my Marc Jacobs eye liners & was bummed when he stopped selling them. I have listened to Mandy Davis for a very long time promoting the Pixie Eyeliners, endless silky eye pens, so finally I got one in Black Cocoa & one in Black Noir, And OMG!!! they are even better than Marc Jacobs & last all day & do not irritate my eyes. They are just wonderful & my 74 1/2 year old eyes love them! I just wanted to share this with you. And I loved when you were doing your eyes you said to pull the skin on the eyes to smooth out the wrinkles & now I always do just that! Thank you!
I’ve tried so many eyeliners for tight lining and they always transfer to the bottom waterline and eventually gather in the corner of my eye. I have sensitive eyes as well and it just seems to exasperate this. My optometrist was so upset when I went in for an eye exam and she saw that I had tight lined, I definitely struggle with dry eye, so she insisted I stop. It’s such a shame because as I age lid space is becoming scarce.
I have same problem, the liner either smudges on me because of my eyes get so watery or it collects in my tear duct.
I personally gave up on tightline eyeliner simply because my eyes get too irritated for it.
I've been tight lining few years. It makes a big difference for me as I have hooded eyes and can't wear eyeliner like a lot of women do. I've done mine holding my eye lid up but like you said I sometimes stick my eye which will irriate it. Will try your technique and hope I get it. Thanks for the video ❤
i use it cosmetics tightlining mascara the wand is so thin its perfect just the job if you cant wear eyeliner it does exactly the same job as an eyeliner but as its a mascara it adds colour to the very inside of your eye lid and looks so natural give it a try .
It worked for my wife the 1st time. She loved it.
@@sethwahnee2036 Yay!!
I loved this recommendation. I was holding my eye open and applying too much product. With dry eye this really bothered my eyes and exacerbated my problem so I rarely put liner on the top lid. Now just closing my eye and applying this as you demonstrated really worked well!
Yay! I’m so glad you found it helpful!!
Hi Tamara, I never heard of tight lining until 2 years ago. I di mine differently than you do and I also use dark eyeshadow instead of a liner. I guess it is all in what we feel comfortable with. You did that so easily so you have worked out what method works best for you. Great video Tamara! Much love, Sheila
I started tightlining in a very similar way- now I am able to keep my eye open for the process... but honestly... my hat is off to those gals who are able to hold their eyelids up keeping their eyes wide open👀👀👀! YIKES! Sure, I used to place contacts in in my eyes... but they were not a pointy pencil type object! 😆😲😳!
Thanks for sharing!
Keep Yourself Well...💚
Such a comprehensive demonstration! This helped ALOT!! Thank-you! Subscribed!
Hi Tamara - Thanks for this video. I have tried tight lining and really struggle with it. I am going to try your method. Thanks for sharing. I am 74 years old but I still like to look my best - it just makes me feel good. God bless you.
Thank you for demonstrating this technique as I struggled with tight lining also. Very helpful. Love your bloopers as well!
Tried your technique immediately and it worked! I had tried tight lining a few times and had either poked my eye,or made it water, not this time.
Thank you so much for this very simple guide to Tight lining!
Yay! I’m So glad you found it helpful!
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty I did!
Thank you for this! I have never tightlined before because I didn't really know what I was doing and I get the heebie jeebies coming in that close to my eyeball. I tried your tip today and it worked perfectly. Yay! My eyes looked so much more opened up and bright. Great video!
I watched a video of yours on tight lining a few months ago and it was such a game changer. I never could get the hang of it before but now I do it every day with such ease! Thank you! I’ve been using an old Chanel brown eyeliner that I had been hanging on to. Works great! 😘
Thank you! This has been the best, most informative tutorial I’ve come across on tight lining. I tried it and it was so easy, my eyes didn’t water. I can’t thank you enough ❤️
Thank you for your patience in showing us how to tight line. I havevreally never been crazy about eye liner on my top eye lid and never used liquid eye liner. I'm very basic in the amount of make up that I have always worn and I do like the fact tight lining gives us more definition without crowding our eye lid...thank you again!!
This technique kind of reminds me of how we'd apply black pencil in the pre 60s (before liquid eyeliner became popular). We would line it between top and bottom -- not just the top.
your trick to apply the pencil it"'s a game changer😍😍😍😍 and also do not apply the pencil to the end of the eye ,I didn't understand why it looked like I had downturned eyes , but thanks to you I understood why
My waterline is wide and quite noticeable; I tightline nearly every day. I have always used the lift-the-lid technique, but watching the way you do your tightline, and how pretty the results are, I am definitely going to try your method. Thanks so much for sharing it with us, and thank you for all of your wonderful and entertaining content. At the age of 64, your videos are so much more realistic and helpful for someone my age than watching the 20, 30 and 40-somethings doing makeup on their smooth, unwrinkled skin!
Oh my gosh, Tamara!!! I’m soooo glad I found your channel!! I’m 51 and can never achieve the looks of the younger folks!! Mature skin is a whole different beast! Your videos are very helpful and your general sincerity make them easy to follow and I feel like it possible to attain all these looks!!Thank you so much for helping us out!💜
I totally agree with you. Makeup on mature skin is very different. My biggest thing is LESS is MORE, especially when it comes to foundation. I myself am 56 and also have a beauty channel for skincare and makeup for mature women. I love how Tamara explains everything so calmly and easily. She’s great!
I didn’t know we were prone to dry eyes as we get older. I have heard of dryness you know…down there. But I guess it makes sense that the eyes are affected too.
Hi. Thank you for expressing the difference in eyeliner and tight lighting. I really appreciate the pros and cons.
This was brilliant!!! Thank you i will definitely try this tomorrow ❤️❤️❤️
I so agree. Tight lining the lower eye makes the eye look smaller too.
Looks great on you, Tamara! My eyes water easily so I don’t bother trying to tight line. In fact I didn’t even use eyeliner until my 40s. I have naturally long curled lashes and felt my eyes looked more open and lash length was best emphasized without eyeliner. Now my lashes aren’t as thick so I just do a thin amount close to the lash line and in between lashes. It’s enough to give definition for my liking. My bigger challenge is under eye pooling after I apply concealer. For some reason concealer causes my under eyes to look saggier than before I apply it. I just bought Kosas shade 1.5 and it looks good at first but within 20 minutes I am fighting newly formed bags. I try all the techniques and find I am happier without it. Poor me. Lol.
I don’t even wear concealer because it actually emphasizes the eye bags
@@doonagoding6146 I agree!
I have a similar problem. We all are unique! I have dry skin and moisturize my under eye a lot. Still even moisturizing concealer dries out my under eyes. I’m not giving up yet.
Same with me! I have to to find a concealer that doesn't make my under eye look worse! And definitely can not powder.
@@jackiedavis6398 absolutely no powder, that’s for sure!
Tamara, I'm going to give tight-lining another try using your technique! It definitely makes a noticeable difference and enhances your eyes. Thanks so much,, Sharon
Tamara, just found you recently. I'm 63 and really enjoy your videos. So glad I saw this on how to tightline - I love it!
Thank you Carol! It make me so happy to hear you are enjoying my videos! ❤️
My goodness how beautiful this lady is. I want to age gracefully as she is doing. Love her ❤️
This was so helpful, thank you so much!
You are a beautiful lady , with or without “Tight Lining!” ❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷
I can recommend to tightline as the very first make up step. Then you do not mess up the foundation when resting the hand on the cheek and if I get eyeliner on the lid (if I blink) there is no problem, I can just wipe it off.
Great tip! I wish I had remembered to mention this! Everytime I see someone tightline after eyeshadow I think why didn’t you tightline first?! LOL 😘
You can also lift the lid to expose the water line at the top and line this. x
I just found you. I had seen your video about Revitalash and lattise. I have been using lattise for years. Your eyelashes are amazing. I tried Revitalash years ago I am going to give it another try
Excellent video! I’ve alway struggled with this technique. Do you ever have trouble with transfer to lower lid? Great close up! Loved the end… 😂 Thanks 😊
Thank you Joan! I do get a tiny bit of transfer to my lower waterline sometimes, but it doesn’t bother me…I actually think it slightly defines the lower lash line,
Tightl lining is a much better way of making eyes pop especially when your lids are hooded and eyes are small. Also you can still add that little flick at the outer corner for more lift
I love this technique! Thank you so much for the demonstration. I just love your “bloopers” at the end! They make me 😂. You always have great content💕
I’ve been tightlining since HS! I actually just tightline on weekends always used the L’Oréal gel liner in pod and just bought that eyeliner after years of buying high end liners
Great tips, thank you 🙏🏽 9:46 for the actual technique 😊 You’re welcome 😉
This is very helpful. I have small deep set eyes, so I usually don’t put any liner on my lower lashes at all because I don’t want to make them look smaller. Tight lining is definitely challenging. My eyes always water, and I don’t think it stays put very well. Going to try this technique. Thank you!
1. I learned something new from you today 2. Love your glasses 3. What is the lip colour you’re wearing here 4. Thank you
Thank YOU! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. The lipstick is BK beauty lipstick in the shade passion. It’s linked in the description box and us on sale through Feb 14!
I have small eyes and have used my mascara to do something similar to this which kind of works. But I’m going to try this technique. Your eyes are beautiful!
Thanks For sharing this technique ❤️
I saw my Mom using the same way tight lining but with the real Kajal
You are simply beautiful
Thank u again❤️
I’ve been tight lining for over 30 years. Never knew it was called this. I’ve always used kohl pencils by Prestige but have problems finding them.
Thank you! I love how tight-lining looks, but have been frustrated by the same difficult techniques you said you had trouble with, too. Very cool. I appreciate your work!
I put a peachy type color in my waterline on the bottom. Sometimes I use white, it opens the eyes up
My favorite is Tarte ‘s fake awake
Tight lining on the top if I don’t use black I love to use blue or purple. It makes my blue eyes pop.
For reference I am turning 48
Thank you so much! I have never understood how to try this method let alone do it! I am definitely going to give it a try now. Truly appreciated 😊
Sephora’s retractable waterproof eyeliner’s been the only product that’s worked for me for upper lid tight lining.
I have always been so nervous about tight lining 😱. When experimenting as a teen I always got itchy eyes trying this, lol. Great tutorial & explanation. I had to watch twice 🤪!! Definitely going to try this again 🥰
OMG thank you so much for this technique! I could never do this until I saw your video! So easy and looks great. My eyes don't tear up either!❤️
Excellent video!!!!! I have not tried this yet and I have only tried tight lining two other times and is very difficult for me. Your method looks much easier! Such a beautiful difference when you did your eyes! You look fantastic. Thankyou for this video! Very helpful!!
The other issue is that as we age, those glands deteriorate! That’s one of the causes of dry eye. Great video - very helpful. Look forward to trying your technique! Your eyelashes look great - do you use a lash formula? Thanks so much😎. P.S. Bloopers are funny.
I rarely comment on videos, but I just found your channel today, and as soon as I saw this video, I ran off to the bathroom to try this technique. Where has it been all my life? I have blinked so many times while tightlining, which then makes a vertical pencil line up onto my lid that has to be removed quickly before it dries. 😡 Thank you SO MUCH for this video-immediately subscribed to your channel!
Thank you Regina! I'm so glad you found the video helpful! And welcome...I'm super happy to have you here!
I got the dry eye problem from tight lining.☹️ it took me a while to figure it out. It now I know it’s what caused it. May try again for occasional use.
I wonder if anyone has a suggestion: I have never been able to find a product that doesn’t end up giving me raccoon eyes! Even using waterproof products! It’s so frustrating. Has anyone had this problem also yet been able to find an eyeliner that doesn’t do this? Thx!
Hi Debbie. My mom is in her 70’s and has had this issue all her life. She has oilier lids/waterlines. We’re trying a good tubing mascara for her upper and lower lashes (the MAC that Tamara recommended) and she generally doesn’t use eyeliner. She focuses more on her lashes and brows. Maybe try Tamara’s technique for going between the lashes and not on the actual waterline. Hope that’s somewhat helpful! 😊💖💜
I love your video! You’re great at explaining detail and have a calm voice which is easy to listen to !
I sometimes pull my upper lid to the side to get more control. I also use my dark brown brow pencil instead of an eyeliner. Works in both places and it’s a nice soft pencil tip.
Thank you so much Tamra for this excellent, thorough explanation of tight lining. I’m so glad I found your channel. I couldn’t get quite whiny either when I watched all the other TH-cam videos. I kept blinking and practically poking my eye. I haven’t tried your method yet but I will. Thank you so much for this very excellent explanation
Hi Tamara! Yes definitely tight lining takes plenty of practice. Thank you for sharing your great tips. I have to agree, l'oreal Le Liner is amazing, I have all the shades too. Hope you have a great week my friend, take care! 🤗💕
Excellent tutorial Tamara. I'm gonna try this. Usually I just lift my lid gently with my finger. Also, gonna stop where you do, not go all the way to corner. Makes sense. Recently purchased the Loreal liners in brown and blue. They do glide and last. I'd repurchase. 🤗Also, today I purchased a small size of the Kiehls eye cream. 🤞 Thanks for recommendations.
I’m going to try this. I gave up on trying the usual way, i had the same problems you had. Thank you 😊
Great tips Tamara. I have dry eyes so I’ll watch the video and try tight line a bit to see if the tight line is irritating. Thank you.
Every time I see people do their technique, I’m like there is no wait can do that! I have to pull my eye lid up and I do it before shadow. But it makes my eye water. I also get transfer on my lower eye and it runs in the corners of my eye. No matter what brand. Marc Jacobs, L’Oréal le liner, essence. Always groups up in my outside corner. Maybe it’s just my eye and face shape. My eyes get squinty when I smile. 😄
Dear Tamera, I saw your thumbnail for "tight lining your eyes" in my TH-cam feed and jumped right on. I have tried it but OMW I just cannot seem to finish it or make it even look decent. Your demonstrated seemed effortlessly, so I gave it a go and voila...I did it! Well, not on the first try but I could tell it did make a big difference. Thank you. 😊 I also watched the tour and your lovely small cottage and that downsizing is definitely for HUSBAND and me. I am enjoying your channel and your bloopers, at the end, were so funny and shows us...YES...they are just like we are. 😅

Great segment! I just started tight lining by watching an older video of yours and my boss (I only see her once a month) says “are you doing Latisse?” 😁. I also love L’Oréal eyelash primer. I don’t tightline my lower lashes bc when i went to the eye doctor for new glasses I discovered have a very small cyst on one eye near my lower lashes ! I thought it was a milia.
Hi Tamara! I'm so happy I found your channel! I was just wondering about this tight lining technique. Since the eyeliner will be placed on that inner eye line, will it wear off relatively fast? Otherwise, do you have to keep reapplying it throughout the day? Or if anybody else here in the comment section would chime in, I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much!
Hi Tina! I’m so glad you found my channel too! Welcome…I’m super happy to have you here. The L’Oreal infallible Gel liner that I linked below lasts quite long on my tightline. Also, because it is applied in between the lashes as well it tends to stay out. I don’t reapply. Not all liners last well there tho…look for waterproof or long wear. One of my friends swears by Hourglass but L’Oreal works fine for me. Hope this helps!
I love the WET and WILD Walking on Eggshells (which I think you talked about) and the Gwen Stefani GIVE quad in Simple Kind of Life, all mattes but so subtle and pretty
Yes! The original Wet N Wild Walking on Eggshells was a favorite for years...I loved the soft pink satin lid shade and the cool taupes and browns. I purchased multiple times. Infortunatley, the updated version leans just a tad too warm and peachy for me...but beautiful formula! The GIVE quad sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the video on tight-lining! I had heard of tight-lining but really didn't know what it involved until I found your channel. I have tried several pencil liners and you are so right that the LeLiner is the easiest and softest to use for best results. I have only used the brown denim color but hope to find the navy and charcoal colors to try. I am getting more comfortable with the process and have found that it does not add issues to my dry eyes. Thanks so much for sharing this technique. Hope you have a wonderful week! xo
Best actual technique video on this. Also have eye problems so don't know if I will chance it.
