Whether you’re hanging out poolside or spending the day at the beach, it’s important your makeup is able to withstand any hot-weather activities. MAKE UP FOR EVER’s Aqua products are formulated to stand still against any climate, perspiration, or long nights. The latest addition to their waterproof collection is Aqua Liner, a super sleek liquid eyeliner, available in 15 vibrant shades ranging from iridescent red to matte brown to black with multicolored sparkles. It flexible foam tip for easy application and the formula stays on for what seems like forever. (I rubbed my eyes, forgetting I had it on, and it didn’t smudge one bit.) Fun fact: It contains essential amino acids derived from apple juice to promote color intensity.
Here, MAKE UP FOR EVER’s National Educator Jessie Powers shares her four easy steps for achieving a precisely lined eye using Aqua Liner:
1. Draw a thin line of liquid liner centered on the upper lash line directly above the pupil.
2. To create the liner “tail,” choose the end point of your tail slightly above and outside of the natural lash line. Then, with your eyes open and focused forward, draw a line from the tail’s end point down toward the outer corner of the lash line.
3. Next, with your eyes open and focused forward, draw a line from the end of the tail connecting it to the liner on the center of the upper lash line. Continue these strokes until the tail is completely filled in.
4. Finally, draw a liner from the inner corner of the upper lash line to the middle of the upper lash line, connecting the two sections.
