My Squad tried One-Swipe Eyeliner...2/3rd failed miserably, the other...

I love being tagged in amazing beauty things on Facebook and Instagram, there's just so much on the internet it's easy to miss the next great article idea.  Lutece tagged me in this video last week and I was in awe.

"Next blog challenge?"  I replied, tagging in my colleague (and one of my most favourite people) Kellie.  We concurred that the key was confidence.  You just had to take that eyeliner pen and whip it.  One confident swipe and the perfect flick would surely follow.

Here's what Kellie has to say about it:

Cheers Pixie-pie! Haha.

Ok, my turn.  Confession.  I am pants at applying eyeliner.  Pants.  I have never mastered the cat's eye or the perfect wing.  The best I can do is a lil flick.  But I decided after watching the video that I'd clearly been over complicating matters.

The first line wasn't too bad.  Filling it in was a disaster.  The second eye started bad, and got worse.  By the end I was one beehive short of looking like Amy Winehouse.

Which means we had but one lady left in whom to place our faith.  Now if you're not familiar with makeupforpandas, we should point out Lutece is an eyeliner goddess.  But could she wing it like the video?

Not too shabby at all!  Now Lutece calls this 'eyeliner fail 101, but her standards are clearly really high!

I think we can conclusively say that the art of eyeliner isn't just confidence after all.  I don't know what it is, confidence, a steady hand, 20-20 vision, daily practice.  A dollop of luck too probably.  What I do know is...
