It’s time for a friendly LOWER EYELINER REMINDER ✨

I’ve been getting a lot of calls and texts about them over the last few weeks.
Let’s chat about them…

🐼I do not encourage them & I do not have them on my own face. If I do them (after we discuss thoroughly) I do a very fine line like the photo above. I will not go all the way in past your iris. I will not do a bold line.🦝

Here’s why:
🪄 Skin thins with age: The under-eye area becomes more delicate, most people prefer less attention be called to this area at some point in their life.
👁️ Eyes naturally droop with age: This typically changes the shape and balance.
📐Eyes are naturally asymmetric: Most people have a different bone structure on each side, eye axis imbalance, or one eye that appears larger than the other. Adding a line on bottom can make this more noticeable.
🫟Creates a harsh or heavy look: As skin texture changes, a solid lower liner can look too strong or dated.
🎨Color can fade unevenly: The area under the eye doesn’t always hold pigment consistently, so it might fade patchy.
🕶️ Might enhance dark circles and fine lines: Instead of brightening, lower liner can draw attention to under-eye discoloration or wrinkles.

I rarely post them because I do not want to encourage them, however, this photo is a perfect example of what I am willing to do! *As long as there is not a very large gap in your lateral canthus (outer corner) because I can not connect the upper and lower line. 🫶🏼

🫶🏼When it comes to eyeliner tattoos more is not better. We want soft styles that look great with or without makeup. We do not want the eyeliner to overpower your eyelashes, we need it to enhance them. We want something that enhances our eyes and makes them sparkle, but does not distract or change position as our skin falls after many years of aging.

💕My favorite style is eyelash enhancement eyeliner for all the reasons I listed above. You can always draw on the bold style with your eyeliner when you are feeling extra. 👸🏼
