Beauty | New in – Kat von D eyeliner and my training to a better winged liner

I love wing eyeliner. Or let’s say, I love eyeliner and how it looks on 99% of the people I see.

On me, somehow, it is always a struggle.

Sometimes one eye looks right on the spot but then I go try to do the other one the same way and it all goes down the hill… badly!

Or I can’t get the line straight and it all becomes a hot mess and I end up looking like a raccoon. And I do not appreciate this look.

It is also worth to mention that I am really bad at making straight lines, on any type of surface (paper for example…) so it comes as no surprise that on my eyes, it is also a hard task for me to accomplish.

Oh, and let’s not forget, I’m not 15 yo anymore, so my skin isn’t as firm as it used to be.

Therefore, for a very long time, I stopped doing eyeliner because I just couldn’t get it right, and for my day-to-day makeup, I simply couldn’t make it subtle enough.

That’s when I heard about the so famous Tattoo liner by Kat von D.

Everyone talks wonders about this liner; it doesn’t budge, it’s very fine, easy to work with, and so on.

All characteristics I look for on an eyeliner, so I knew, that eventually, I would have to give it a shot.

While I was visiting Sephora, back in Lisbon (talked about it in this post), I grabbed one and gave it a little swatch. It all most “cut” my hand of so fine and precise it was.

Gave it a few seconds to dry out, and I went on my stress test: if I rub my fingers over it, will it budge or will it stay put?

Yes, it passed!!!

Throughout the day, I have the tendency to forget I wear eye makeup, and you might find me rubbing my eyes. Not cool when you do this and your eyeliner can’t stay in place… Raccoon, anyone?!…

I have used it a few times by now, and I am able to do a very soft, yet precise, eyeliner look for daytime, which will stay put the whole day!!

Thanks to this liner, I have been practicing on making my wing liner more precise and even (as in, equal looking on both eyes), and even though I still have a long way to go, it gets better as I practice.

Having slightly hooded eyes doesn’t make my task easier… Oh, and a not steady hand.

All things to practice and get better at.

Overall, I am very happy with this eyeliner!!

Black as black, sharp, precise, water and budge proof, and easy to handle.

Ladies & gentlemen, we have a winner!!

What is your favorite eyeliner? Do you keep your eyeliner look soft and precise or are you more of an extreme eyeliner look kind of person?
