Wing or no wing?
After being Team Wing FOREVER, I’ve been taking a sabbatical from wings as of late, and ya know what? It’s been fabulous! Mind you, wings don’t stress me out or anything…but not having to deal with matching the angle and the length of the wings has been one less thing to think about, and I’ve been really trying to keep things simple lately. I would even go so far as to say that skipping the wing has made me want to wear makeup again.
Thin or thick lines?
For everyday makeup, I’ll take thin please because I need all the mobile lid space I can get, and thick liner makes my hooded eyes look more hooded.
Tightline — yes or no?
TIGHTLINE ALL THE WAY!
Black or brown?
Brown. 100%.
Liquid or pencil?
Pencil. Super sharp!
Brights or neutrals?
Neutrals because I can do more with them (you know I’m all about the makeup basics). Plus, when I get antsy for color, I can just layer a bright on top of a black liner!
Cream or gel?
Gel because I like how they glide across my lids.
Waterproof or non-waterproof?
Right now, non-waterproof. Easier to remove, ya know?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen 😘

February 16th, 2021 at 11:35 amHi Karen, fellow cat lover and hooded eyes here. I love the look of tightlining my upper lid, but have a hard time removing it. And although I use waterproof products they always smear 😩 Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
S

February 16th, 2021 at 8:34 pmWing or no wing? Usually no wing-it’s very rare that I can actually do even wings!
Thin or thick lines? I prefer thin, so I have more room to play with shadows.
Tightline — yes or no? No-I don’t want to put eyeliner inside my eye.
Black or brown? I usually match my eyeliner to the color family of my shadows, but if I can only choose between these two, it’s brown. My favorite browns are Maybelline Lasting Drama Rusty Terracotta, Fenty Flyliner Puppy Eyez, UD 24/7 Double Life, and Marc Jacobs Highliner Glittersweet from last year’s Gold collection.
Liquid or pencil? Pencil-it’s so much easier, and the color selection is great!
Brights or neutrals? I prefer brights, unless I’m going for an overall neutral eye look.
Cream or gel? Gel.
Waterproof or non-waterproof? Non-waterproof.

February 18th, 2021 at 6:27 amWing or no wing? No wing.
Thin or thick lines? Thin to thick? I like it barely visible on the inner eye and wedged out to the outer.
Tightline — yes or no? No, I feel like it makes my eyes look smaller. And, as you know, as we get older our noses keep growing so our eyes look smaller and smaller. I don’t need that!!
Black or brown? Brown.
Liquid or pencil? Pencil.
Brights or neutrals? Neutrals.
Cream or gel? Or…. powder? 🙂
Waterproof or non-waterproof? Non, for the same reason. Easy off!

Wings!
Thin or thick lines?
Thin!
Tightline — yes or no?
Not exactly I really make sure to get in there because seeing very fair skin in between lashes is not the look I’m going for!
Black or brown?
Usually brown, but lately black.
Liquid or pencil?
Liquid!
Brights or neutrals?
I love both!
Cream or gel?
Gel.
Waterproof or non-waterproof?
Non-waterproof. I don’t want to have to make a lot of effort to remove my makeup at the end of the day.
