drawing eyeliner is my weakest link.

it hasn't been part of my makeup routine for many many many years. i thought it was because i had weird eye shape. the fact is, i didn't do it properly. i refused to draw near the lash lines.

it was a makeover 2 (or 3?) x'mas ago that i started to know what it's all about. i did so many makeovers in my life and i never grasp that. i usually told them that i got sensitive eyes so they usually don't bother with too much eyeliners.

i've since re-introduce eyeliners back into my makeup routine. however i couldn't do it properly. esp trying to wing it out. i really wanted to do michelle phan's double winged eyeliner. i ended up erasing the wings.

those makeup tutorials on youtube are great places to learn makeup. they all made drawing eyeliners so easy. but when i tried to do it, i still couldn't do it right. i couldn't winged it out nicely.

Follow up:

my attempt this morning was the best so far. i know, it's still not perfect. it's too low. and too long. i didn't even bother with double wings because i couldn't do single wing properly.

i was going to do a very simple and quick makeup. somehow i spent too much time drawing the line. the boy was late for school.

imagine this... his teacher asked, 'why are you late today?' he replied, 'because my mom spent too much time putting on makeup.' /facepalm

need more practice...
