Start with the Barry M angled eye liner brush dip it into your favourite gel eye liner, i suggest the sleek gel eye liner in dominatrix or the Rimmel gel eye liner and dap it onto the back of your hand to remove any excess, just so you have a nice thin layer on the brush.

 

Look into the mirror and line the brush on the inner corner of your eye, and point it towards the end of your eye brow and join it to the outer corner of your eye.You will notice a small triangle and fill it in, Fill in the bottom lash line and connect it to the wing. Join any bits together to make it flow into each other. Using a matte black eye shadow go over the eye liner you just done to hold everything in place. i use the MAC and Mickey contractor palette. And your done, may take a bit of practice but never give up! xx
