Don't Look Dated: Saying NO to Black Eyeliner on your Water Line!

Ditch the Black Eyeliner in your Water Line (WL)!!!! We are not in 1999 anymore ladies. This look is so passe. It is over! There will, most likely, be a time when it comes back in style but that it isn't going to be tomorrow. 

Here are my top 3 reasons why you shouldn't do the WL Black Liner:

3. You Look Like a Tramp During the Day: 

This is a look that, if ever done, should only be brought out at night when you are in dim lighting. It can make you look like a tough chick in one swipe of the eyeliner. I have been guilty, as charged, with this look and thought I looked HOT! Hot mess is more like it :)

2. Wet Black Eyeliner Smudges:

Do you want to have black under your eyes all night? This is placed in a moist area and it never really drys there. It can give you a "Walk of Shame" look 24/7. It seems you always have to look in the mirror to see if you look alright. 

1. No one wants Smaller Eyes:

This techniques gives the illusion that your eyes are smaller than they naturally are. Makeup rule of thumb Dark colors make things look smaller and more distant. Light colors highlight and make things appear larger in size. That is why we all look thinner in black clothing and feel like a fat cow, sometimes, when we wear white. Don't make your eyes look smaller! Show them off by leaving your water line alone or by using a light liner on the inside like the photo below. This will not only make your eyes look their natural size, it will even make them look larger. Start noticing all the stars in magazines have white liner on WL going on:)

 Have no fear you can still do a smokey eye without the black on the inside!!!!

 and don't be afraid to use a different, lighter color. This looks pretty awesome!!!

 You can look very classic with just eyeliner on the top!!!

So a little less of this......................
