For the "Glam" of it

Then I discovered that if I patted on a bit of translucent powder, the liner could last up to 6 hours without running or fading a lot.

And of course, I couldn't live without my Japanese gyaru lashes. They really transform my eyes in a way that just mascara couldn't.


Learning how to contour my face was also one of the best things I could have learned.

I haven't found an eye primer that I like, but I use this smashbox primer and it works really well. Even if you try really hard to sweat all your makeup off, it won't let you.



And this eyeliner is amazing. I received it in a birchbox and it's the best I've ever used. It works really well for tightlining your eyes (getting between the lashes).
