So this post is for the men folk who read pop trash beauty. You'd be surprised how many men do indeed read PTB . We have received confidential emails asking for this blog post . Allot of concerns are with the eyeliner bleeding. We have seen this happen to guyliner pro's. They start off with a thin line as the night progressing they have a smokey eye. So I'll help you out with a few tips the ladies have been using for ages.





Guyliner Tools
I would stick with the wet n wild line. Its cheap carried in most drug stores. As you get more comfortable you'll want to branch out.



Wet n Wild - Black Kohl Eyeliner Pencil
Cream Concealer - You want to get as close to your natural skin tone.
Wet n Wild - Eye Shadow Single - Blue , Purple , Brown (pick the color you like)
Cotton Swabs
Eye Makeup Remover

Tip : Remember during application that the skin under the eye is like tissue paper. The skin on your face is a soft Kleenex . Be gentle under your eye .


Take your eyeshadow primer / concealer an apply it to lower lashline.
This is a base that will help the eyeliner stay put longer .



Take your eyeliner an warm it up on your arm or back side of your hand. Draw lines back an fourth till the point of the pencil isn't has harsh. Fresh eyeliners out of the pack are very sharp. I don't want you to poke your eye
If you have access to a makeup mirror get it positioned to eye level .. Especially if your new to this its a foreign concept eyes rebel.  Place your elbow of your writing hand on the sturdy surface.


Gentally pull the under eye area taut .
