[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tightlining upper lids. Microfiber hair towel. Various skin care things I was clueless about. That I should  not wear capri pants.

But most of all that I have normal kids, a great DH, and a pretty functional extended family. The insights into the personal hell of so many posters is eye opening.[/quote]

What is the deal with tightening upper lids? [/quote]

Not the PP, but I was taught how to do this by a makeup artist at Nordstrom at 15 years old and I have done it every day since then. I am almost 34 and swear I could do it in the back of a moving car without a mirror at this point. The technique itself it really just pushing liner up into your lashes from the bottom up, in between the lashes. You can use a pencil, but I am a powder and brush kinda gal and find it easier and a cleaner line, so here is what I do!

You get a brush like this (or pencil, but see above)

You wet it with some water and dip into a cake liner, like this one below. A solid black eyeshadow will also work. Really swirl it around. The wetter your brush, the more intense your pigment and liner. I go for it!

Then you push the flat liner brush in between your lashes. I also frequently hold it stationary and blink my lashes onto it. It's really easy.

This video is a bit long, but this is basically it. She does make a good point about tightlinging versus hitting the lashline. It mostly makes your lashes look thick. Bonus- it lasts and doesn't smudge AT ALL.

I am fair, blonde haired, and blue eyed. People are shocked I wear black eyeliner everyday. However, applied in this way, it is really not harsh, I swear. Give it a try!

Thanks for this! I used to tightline but got out of the habit. It really makes my eyes look better, especially since my lids are too small for regular above-the-lashes eyeliner. I'll have to start doing it again![/quote]
