‘Tightlining’ is the application of eyeliner to the inner corner of your lid which masks the space between your lid and the liner.

This technique opens up your eyes and has the desired effect of making them look bigger.

When it comes to tightlining, gel liner is recommended above pencil and liquid because it glides on and doesn’t tug the skin.

It’s pretty simple but if you’re a little squeamish, getting up close and personal with your eyeballs might take some practice.

All you have to do is pull your lid up and use the gel liner together with a brush applicator to press lightly against the lash line.

Don’t push too hard, it won’t be pretty and it will be sore.

Watch the full tutorial from Wayne Goss here and practice definitely makes perfect on this one.
