EASY EVERYDAY Tightlining and Waterlining Tutorial | What NOBODY talks about!

[@bethhughes430]

As a nurse and esthetician I am SO glad you addressed the issue of putting makeup in the waterline! It does look beautiful, and when you're tired a white or nude shade eyeliner on the bottom waterline does make your eyes look more awake or bright, but there are other ways to achieve awake bright eyes. Great point, and I love your technique. I'm going to try it when I put my makeup on!

[@mirandaclassics]

Thank you Stephanie! Your waterline public service announcement is much needed and, even though some folks don't want to hear it - we do need to be mindful of the cosmetics we put IN our eye. Your research is much appreciated.

[@Panthia_Poe]

Miranda Classics Yes!! Agreed!!

[@cubbylevi1764]

Miranda Classics And the worst thing we with dry eye can use is Visine type products, which get rid of redness. There are disastrous effects to using these drops every day. So, I go to work with red eyes, and I don't like it.

[@StephanieMarie]

+Cubby Levi This is SO TRUE!

[@stacylyons9617]

Unfortunately I love the way tight lining looks but I had a terrible experience with it. I developed an infection on my upper eyelid. It is so swollen I had to go to a ophthalmologist to be treated and am on antibiotics.

[@Southamericangirl42]

I've done it once, my eyes looked gorgeous. But, I take lots of meds *and* I also use artificial tears because my eyes are chronically watery. So I got scared and went back to a thin black line very close to the lashes. It's better for my peace of mind and I don't wear makeup often. I'm sick enough, I don't need anymore health problems.

[@Palladio-gu3dj]

I am always so happy to find women on KZbin who use common sense about make-up and dont simply follow what ever is trending. Cheers to you! BTW: your beautiful eyes are not small!

[@MascaratoMidnight]

SO TRUE!!! Sometimes I think I'm the only one...and that's why I love youtube. I realize I'm not. Although I may be the only one with 8 kids on youtube with a channel. LOL

[@nomdeplume244]

This absolutely needed to be said. Health before beauty techniques and trends!

[@virginiav.1172]

Excellent video and as an RN concerned about eye health I highly commend you for talking about the meiobian glands in a way that I have not heard anyone on KZbin do before. Kudos Stephanie!

[@shellyb3662]

Thank you! This is a PSA that all makeup lovers need to hear. I was not aware of the actual medical issues that can be caused by lining the water line. I very rarely line my upper water line, and never the bottom one. Dark shades in the lower water line totally make eyes look smaller and I don't need that! I see some lovely ladies who do this and it makes their eyes look like squinty black slits--probably not the look they were going for. Oh well, to each their own. Thanks again for this great info!

[@KraftyKaitlyn]

Thank you so much for doing this series! I'm tired of everyone thinking that they have to use the same technique. There are so many options when it comes to liner, and I don't know why more people aren't talking about liner that is actually flattering to your eye shape, coloring, makeup style, etc. I tightline almost daily, and have for years. My husband actually pointed out to me when we were dating that it looked more natural/flattering that way. :)

[@inezbradley]

I so appreciate your demonstration of how to get a good "tight line" look without actually putting liner product ON the waterline. I also think that it is so important to discuss the long term affect of using products on the actual waterline for all the reasons that you mentioned. Thanks so much!

[@francesrizor8395]

Thank you for taking the time to explain what tightlining is. I have heard several other youtubers say that was what they were doing, but they went to fast for me to catch the technique. Your video is much appreciated!

[@StephanieMarie]

I'm glad to help! :)

[@denisesmessaert]

Thank you Stephanie for a very wise dialog regarding eye health and lining the waterline. I am over 50 and am really bothered with chronic dry eyes. I appreciate your observation that no one talks about it. You're right. No one does. When I was younger I did line my eyes and I have wondered if that has contributed to my eye issues today. Thanks again!!

[@nanamaw]

lining was very black and the mire the better when I was young my glands are past dead. lol you are the first I've seen on this subject. Thank you

[@AlethrialTheElvenEmpress]

Really appreciate this video, Stephanie! I’m 25, and have sensitive eyes. I always found waterlining to transfer to my inner eye corner in black gunk, so I stopped doing it. I actually don’t wear makeup very often because I never could make it work on myself, but I am slowly learning tips to make it look better. I also think the softer look is prettier and more elegant. Definitely easier to do. Thanks again!!

[@susancole3151]

Thank you for emphasizing the ophthalmic issues you may encounter when outlining your waterline.

[@HeatherHowser]

Important info that should be shared more often! First time I had heard it...thank you!!

[@ABab-jf2jb]

You don't have small eyes, you have beautiful eyes, the size of them is just perfect!

[@karenjohn798]

OMG love the doggie mooning us in the background with the big stretch

[@AllyKit]

Every small hooded eye tutorial says to tight line but I couldn’t even think about it if I wanted to. I already get stye in my left eye once a year that last a month (and make me look like a hideous quasimodo!) so I am naturally prone to clogged oil glands. Also have had dry eye syndrome all my life (can’t wear contacts anymore now that I turned 50) and you’re right it doesn’t get better as you get older. But thank you for the brush-to-pencil technique that I have now adopted! So simple but I never thought of that! I’m so careful about cleaning my brushes and not using old makeup but my eye dr tells me it’s not bacteria it’s the oil glands like you said. I’ve learned so many little tips from you already. It’s also nice to see someone real who wears every day makeup, no fake lashes etc. I don’t want to scare anyone, especially now that we’re not going anywhere anymore. Wish I found you sooner. Thanks Risa 💕

[@rockyfan1959]

I had always thought that putting liner on your waterline must be bad for you. I had never heard anyone say it was, so I thought I was just being paranoid! Thank you for this video!!

[@oydebster]

Thank you Stephanie for addressing a health issue inspite of this being a makeup video. It's a great thing when influencers educate people regarding the effects of beauty routines, that way people can make informed decisions.

[@suziek888]

Influencers are also the ones who recommend softening the end of an eyeliner with a flame from a lighter so that it will stick to the lower waterline

[@crystalholmes7900]

This was such a helpful video. I also found the information about the water line super useful.

[@goldiemarkowitz9300]

Thank you for your honesty and warning. EVERYONE should view this video!!

[@jennifercornwell263]

Great tutorial! I love how thorough you are with your videos❤️

[@susanmoore369]

I have never heard anyone explain about the oil glands. Thank you soooo much for sharing. I think this is very important for us to know...xoxo

[@lemorris51]

Thank you , Stephanie, for the info on the waterline! I had no idea, and had NEVER heard anyone discuss this.

[@user-zk8ed4kd2b]

I have always used my own technique to tightline just above the waterline on my upper lid. I’m actually applying the thinnest line between my lashes. You provided a service by addressing this issue. Right now, I’m having trouble finding the right liner. I used to use one from a are Minerals that was extremely precise but didn’t tug. They discontinued the liner. I’m watching your technique with a brush today to see what my alternatives are.

[@ngosztyla]

Good info on being cautious about waterlining. My eye doctor told me a while ago that it is really bad for your eyes, so I rarely ever do this. Some of the 'younger' makeup gurus need to get this info out as well. Thanks

[@janemarie1167]

Thank you so much for making this video. I have hooded and downturned eyes and I struggle with applying eyeliner and shadow. I find that they really can make my eyes appear smaller and more droopy if I'm not careful. Please keep the wonderful advice coming. I really appreciate your honesty and fabulous easy everyday and non-youtuber tutorials. I need to go out in public after I apply my makeup and I appreciate "real" makeup tutorials for the over 35 viewer. Have a great week!

[@majordudette]

Yes! Thank you so much for posting this info. These glands are called Meibomian glands, and they release oil onto the eye to help tears evaporate more slowly, among other things. They can get clogged, inflamed, and yes, with age, they may dry up. Even my dog had an inflamed Meibomian gland that needed surgery to remove. If you like the waterline lining look - just do it for special occasions, not every day.

[@nikkithomas2095]

This may be super dramatic, but I took your advice for the Sephora sale and tried out the Living Proof Dry Shampoo, and it CHANGED MY LIFE. I have never used a dry shampoo that actually makes your hair clean! I love your videos; it's so great to watch someone who is closer to my age and is also a working mom. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@StephanieMarie]

+Nikki Thomas Haha!! I know how you feel Nikki! Sometimes at the end of the day I forgot I didn't wash my hair that morning. That's never ever happened to me before...ever! I get you!! 😁👍🏼 Thanks for the feedback!

[@robynsmeath2599]

These are fantastic tips & are simple to manage for a great effect. Thankyou so much, I can’t wait to try it out.

[@Chelsea-ep5lr]

This video is by far so helpful and so amazing in my opinion!! Thank you for these helpful tips. I'm 42 and love my big eyes but I've found lining my waterline with pencil is too harsh. Can't wait to now use shadow and finally tightline without feeling like I'm poking myself in the eye

[@marilynamsel6010]

Fabulous video. I have felt for a long time that pencil lining is harsher than shadows. Especially on fair skinned blue eyed people. However you have to be able to create some definition. That's why your demo was perfect. I have naturally hooded eyes slightly downturned and always feel that lining dark colors on the bottom waterline closes them in. I appreciate that you have brought this issue up. It isn't addressed enough. Eye lining in general is not so simple. It has to be adjusted to the individual and too many people don't seem to realize it. Thanks for bringing it up.

[@StephanieMarie]

+marilyn amsel I'm so glad you guys are finding this helpful! Thank you so much!

[@theacadogan7923]

It looks amazing, I have needed this. Very helpful. Thanks so much for the tip.

[@renegade9466]

Thanks so much! Liner never stayed in waterline more than 30 mins, so I gave up long ago. Your tips & method of doing the lash roots are so much better.

[@LRWdesign]

I’ve started playing with makeup finally now that I’m retired and in my 50s. Never had time to really dive in before or Learn techniques that work for me. I’ve been having itchy watery eyes lately - irritated too. After watching your video I realized that I’ve been lining the waterline on my upper lash line and this has been happening since I’ve been doing it!! So tight line only for me and hopefully no more irritated eyes. 👍😊❤️ Thanks for this video.

[@StephanieMarie]

I'm so glad it helped! Thank you!

[@cuteyellowlab8592]

Great video, it was so helpful to learn that lining can led to serious eye problems. I know I often have to use a q-tip with makeup remover to fix &/or remove the liner from tightline & waterline. I can't imagine what is going to happen to the eyes of the girls in their teens & tweens who start applying makeup to their waterline, tightline & are using false eyelashes on a regular basis. Finding the right mirror angle will definitely help.

[@jjohnson1859]

I do the exact same thing very often with respect to tightlining with a powder eyeshadow or a pencil. You do some nice work and it's refreshing to see somebody on YT do everyday looks for professional women. Professional women can't go to work every day looking like a circus clown with 52 different bright colors and false eyelashes! I also agree with you about the waterline. I do it sometimes and when I do, I also usually use a lighter color.

[@madreader7765]

This was very helpful! I just recently got into makeup & skincare at 50+, and your videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you!

[@MsKViz]

Great video! I learned several things... and I have been wearing makeup for a very long time!

[@mechelledewitt7066]

Thanks for the information beforehand. Of course I'm watching this after purchasing a Mark Jacobs liner to tight line.

[@sherrilynntriolo6662]

Excellent video! As someone w/serious chronic illness, I have many more limitations to consider in my beauty/skincare routines. Thank you for addressing the health effects of constant tight/waterlining! Much appreciated!

[@StephanieMarie]

So glad you liked it! Thank you!

[@suzannehughes9692]

Your makeup is so so pretty today!

[@alicecabral8051]

Excellent tutorial...very much appreciated.

[@DenineMatsuda]

I’m so thankful to have found this. I’ve been spending so much time and money trying to find a liner that will hold because I like the look. But this makes sense! It’s not even good for our eyes. Thank you so much. Moving on to next makeup lesson 😃👍🏼thank you so so much

[@diana4043]

Excellent video Stephanie! I wear lots of mascara and sometimes I end up coating my water line too too much... causing my eyes to water for hours! I will definitely be more careful now. Thank you ❤️

[@debschafer6993]

This was The Best video I've seen in 5 years as far as make up. Wonderful, wonderful job.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Deb!

[@lisakaminski2335]

Best tutorial ever. Thank you. I love how you break down all the details and give excellent advice.

[@cwm5316]

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for this wonderful video. The information that you provided about the waterline, the oil glands and their importance for eye health especially dry eyes is a much needed message for all of us who watch the makeup tutorials. I have dry eyes so I know how uncomfortable this condition is. I am limited with the amount of makeup that I use on my eyes. I usually use primer, shadow, and a pencil liner; rarely mascara because my lashes are sparse and never false eyelashes. Have a great week, Carol M.

[@jessicam5090]

Another fantastic video, Stephanie!

[@MascaratoMidnight]

WOW. I've been saying it for a YEARS. NO ONE listens to me. I'm so glad you addressed it. I do occasionally do it..but not that often or with any regularity. Sharing this video on my facebook group.

[@StephanieMarie]

+Mascara to Midnight Thanks girl! You're a doll! 😘

[@barbaragoldberg4320]

Thank you. Excellent tutorial as usual. I always turn to your youtube posts for the best advice.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you! 😘

[@courtneywest]

LOVE this video so much! It was so informative and you're completely right, no one ever talks about this. Thank you, Stephanie!

[@maren807]

Thank you for this information! I occasionally line my waterline but right after I do, I spray the liner with 70% alcohol then air dry it before I re-cover it to keep it clean.

[@1jesuslovesu2]

Thank you, Stephanie, for taking the time and caring enough to give us this pertinent and much-needed information. I really appreciate the detail tutorials as well! God bless you!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you! :)

[@MissSugarland4Ever]

Thank you so much for this video!! I have been looking for a video like this to show me what to do. Yours is the best one and I could see exactly what your were doing.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Lindsay! :)

[@sarajanehaven]

Thank you for addressing the dry eye issue and how waterlining may make matters worse. I have been battling dry eye for about 10 years and have lost my bottom lashes on the outer thirds of both eyes, most likely due to a dry eye underlying cause of Myobium Gland Dysfunction (MGD). I have only just started wearing eye makeup and will be sticking to tightlining. Thanks for the tip on wetting the brush first. I will give that a try.

[@eerye70]

I have small eyes as well and I have been avoiding any liner on the lower lash line. I love the Marc Jacobs eye liner. It's so soft and creamy and comfortable to use. I also use a great deal less product because of that.

[@kentuckywildcatfan5096]

Thank you so much for these recommendations for small and downturned eyes. I usually use a pencil, but I'm going to try to line with shadow. Great video! 💕

[@rachaelly]

I struggle with eyelashes that don't like to curl, and I try to fake a more feminine look with eyeliner. Unfortunately, no matter how close I get, there's a noticeable gap between my eyeliner and lashline, so I started looking for tightlining and waterlining tutorials. I'm so glad I found *your* video! I already have poor eyesight and occasionally my contacts bother my eyes--I don't want to sign up for that sensation 24/7! So I'm going to watch this video a few more times and take all of your tips into account to avoid having any trouble with my eyes down the road. Thank you for such a great, informative video, Stephanie =]

[@StephanieMarie]

I hope it helps you! Let me know how it works for you! 😘

[@JennB]

This was soooo helpful! Thank you so much for making this video!! And thank you for talking about the waterline! I can never ever get pencil liner to stay in my bottom waterline so I rarely ever do that technique. And now I know why it doesn't stay put! I guess it's a good thing that my eyes reject the liner! Just tried the powder shadow liner with setting spray and this will definitely be my go-to from now on. Yay!! I don't have any roll models in my life so I really appreciate your videos. I've learned so much from you. Happy Mother's day btw. Your daughter is really blessed to have you in her life.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you so much Jenn. You're so sweet! 💗

[@nikkicalnin1618]

Wow, no wonder I have so many issues with my eyes! I have used liner in my waterline since high school so that's over 20 years! I actually have issues with my eyes being TOO watery so I wreck my smokey eye and liner daily. I think now my eyes are over compensating. I will definitely be taking your suggestions, thank you!! Ok, I mentioned this in my last comment BUT I can't emphasize how much I'm loving my Revlon Pro Collection Salon one step Hair dryer and volumizer. It has ionic technology and it has a nice oval big brush with bristles that actually grip your hair!! What a concept! And finally it blows enough air, as much as a blow dryer that your hair is actually drying. It is 1100 watts as opposed to most of those roundbrush dryers that have 500 watts and take FOREVER to dry your hair! This is amazing, I have very wavy curly hair and this polishes it even better than when I dry with my blow dryer and round brush, because after that I still have to use my straight iron to sleek it out and defrizz it. This is so fast and easy, I get better volume and quite honestly $56 on Amazon Prime is not bad at all considering this is the first round brush dryer that I've found that actually works! I think you would love this Stephanie, I've watched your hair videos, this would be so ideal for you. My hair feels so healthy, I'm just still in shock how well it straightens my kinks, especially the ones so close to my scalp. Has anybody else tried this? Don't mistake it for the $26 one, I bought that one first on accident, not even close. It doesn't grip your hair. Anyway, I HAD to tell you again because for $56, and you can return it if it's not for you, it's worth a try! Anyway, I'll be rewatching this video tomorrow morning while doing my makeup, lol, GREAT tips! Thank you!

[@StephanieMarie]

+Nikki Calnin Thanks Nikki!

[@majordudette]

Over-watering eyes is def a sign of dry eye - the glands in the waterline may not be producing enough oil so the tears are evaporating quickly.

[@tanyac4869]

I am so thankful I stumbled across your channel and this video in particular. I appreciate your in-depth explaination about the A&P of the lashline and causes of dry eye from lining that area over the years! Your straightforward explaination, and demonstration of different techniques were a delightful change of pace from other makeup tutorials. You've gained a subscriber! Thank you!!

[@jeaniecastro9695]

Thank you for talking about MGD ... I have been suffering with this along with dry eyes for years . I suffer from intermittent blurred vision and occasional foreign bodied feeling . It's a horrible condition and I would caution your followers to not tightline !! These glands need to work properly and you are definitely putting them in jeopardy. You just preformed a public service for all your ladies . Thank you

[@annfaust7432]

Holy cow! I did have an adverse reaction to everyday tight-lining. I stopped and do exactly what you have demonstrated!

[@jennifernichols3499]

I loved this video. I do my makeup in a 10x magnifying mirror each day. This showed the application and honestly gave a more realistic experience of what makeup -- high end or otherwise -- can do for skin. Great job. Again loved this video.

[@StephanieMarie]

I'm so glad you found it helpful and enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@heididuston5234]

Thank you so much, Stephanie. I ❤️ your channel; you're so down to earth and love that your tips are for the everyday woman. I'm a working mother of 2 teenagers and really relate to you.

[@timelessbeautiesbyjacqueline]

Great topic! First time I have seen a video on tightlining and he pros and cons! Awesome.

[@rosfraser2906]

Thank you Stephanie for this information re the oil glands in your eyes. I have never heard anyone mention this before. Not even my optometrist told me of this danger. I will now only put color on my waterline on special occasions.

[@ItsBetterOnU]

I have added Risa and Melanie because I enjoy you. Thank you for your tips and recommendations.

[@evap9409]

Excellent and informative video! You explain things so well!

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

Your videos are so freaking awesome!!! I'm just gonna binge your channel all day. Thank you for taking time to explain everything in detail. Also, the why NOT to do it is helpful.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you SO much! :)

[@MissFlynnAgain]

Thank you for teaching me about waterlining! Your information has really taught me a lot.

[@StephanieMarie]

Glad it helped!

[@jessicaym6]

Great video. Tightlining always irritates and makes my eyes water all day, so I don't do it. Thanks for telling me about the health risks I didn't know about before.

[@marnidillon2775]

Really enjoyed this video. I have started using powder to tight line with the flat brush and find it very easy and long lasting. Thanks!

[@StephanieMarie]

+Marni Dillon I'm glad! Thank you!

[@vsrobertson]

Thank you for this video! My eyes are different sized and when I try to do a traditional liner, the size difference of my visible lids are really emphasized. This will help correct that!

[@lesliesolwayboyd689]

Bang on Stephanie. I shudder watching women tight lining and waterlining too heavy. Shrinks the eye. You are showing the best way to do it. Great video 😉

[@arianasquillace]

Thank you for posting this video, I chronic dry eyes and this is the tightlining video I've been looking for. I love your PSA at the beginning it's nice to hear someone on KZbin addressing of the same thing that my doctor told me about keep makeup off the and away from the water line.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Ariana! 💗

[@msr1116]

Every one of those too dark, matte inky shades some of us can't wear as shadows bec they're just too much trouble to properly blend out, especially if our skin is porcelain, is perfect for tightlining . I have found that the wax in certain eyeliners cause my lashes to either break or block the hair opening, causing gaps, so I need workable alternatives to line my eyes. Waterproof is only for special situations like high humidity or weddings.

[@sassybanjo3586]

Thank you so much for the waterline warning. I already have dry eye and the last few weeks I've been lining the waterline daily.

[@Delta1Duck]

Excellent advice which makes so much sense!

[@melaniegalton5809]

Thank you so much for mentioning the Meibomian Glands! I have recently been diagnosed with MGD (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). I have never lined on the water line, just happened as a result of age as you mentioned. I have spent over a thousand dollars to flush out the glands and I am still having issues and about to spend another thousand dollars on another procedure. It is no fun so thank you so much for warning others of the dangers of blocking these glands. I was on one of your other videos and you mentioned this one so here I am :-)

[@kathinthegarden]

Hi, Stephanie. I'm new to following your channel but I am now a dedicated follower. This was such a incredibly helpful video lesson with such great info. I'm so glad that you addressed the anatomical and medical reasons for staying away from waterlining. Also, your tips for tightlining are so easy to follow and the best ever. Thank you for this!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Kathleen!

[@gr8dmbfan]

Thank You! Thank You! For talking about the water line and the oil glands. I have watched a ton of makeup videos and see girls doing that and I am cringing and talking to the screen saying "oh no, you had better be careful". I am in my early 40's and I have sever dry eye that comes from a few things but mainly a couple autoimmune issues and medication side effects. I have very few oil so glads left on my lower lids and I get them scrapped every 3 months to remove dead cells. I sleep in googles to help keep my eyes moist pulse all of the other things one does that has dry eyes. Anyways, thank you again for saying something about it. So happy to hear it. Love your videos - great niche you are filling.

[@StephanieMarie]

Oh no, the goggles. You poor thing! I was doing the same thing...I felt I had to say something! Thank you so much!!

[@tamaramorton8812]

Thank you for doing a video on this subject and for labeling it as such. Made it easier to find. I go in and out with tight lining the lashes and when I do it, I use a flat across brush like you do. I have two of them that I bought from Elf cosmetics back when they were really cheap. I think they each cost about a dollar then but they're still pretty inexpensive, I think, and work very well for me.

[@brittanymann2713]

Fantastic information that I never knew! This is great useful information!!!

[@BakerFrancine]

Great info about keeping your eyes healthy! I don't ever line my water line because I'm afraid of getting it on my contact lenses, but this tells me that it's also better for my eyes. Thanks!

[@andreasanderson2280]

This was an excellent and helpful video. I have only been watching makeup videos for a few months and was so surprised to see so many people lining the waterline, it just didn't seem right to me. Thanks for the helpful information and research on this issue. I also enjoy using shadow as liner, I am a bit of a klutz and cannot get the hang of using pencils or gels.

[@danalowe5451]

thank you Stephanie! I so needed this tutorial! it's a constant struggle everyday with my eyeliner because I never really knew what to do. thanks again for sharing. Dana mobile, AL

[@StephanieMarie]

+Dana Lowe I'm glad it helped you Dana! If you haven't checked out my other eyeliner tutorials, they may help you too. Thanks!

[@bethbrown2780]

I really love your eye shadow in this video. Would you be able to do a tutorial on this look? Its amazing

[@jeniferedgar8822]

Thank you for that. I am 48 and love to line my water line but I get styes badly. Love your tips!

[@StephanieMarie]

I'm glad it helped Jenifer! :)

[@eyez2c]

Excellent video Steph! Super helpful. One of the more useful KZbin ones I've seen! Don't know why but never thought about tightlining with brush/shadow always just done pencil..think this will definitely make it much quicker in the mornings using brush...once I get the right angle for me. Difference using lighter pencil too for water lining. The contributory factor this all plays with dry eye symptoms of which I get occasionally - never linked the two! Thankyou - can't believe you've got 17k subs already..only seems the other day you started your channel! Congrats! x

[@Shanna-oh2hi]

this was very informative. truly enjoy your videos

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you!

[@lindaesquibel3457]

You make it look so easy, I'm going to practice using my eye shadow, for eye liner. I will also buy the anesthesia brushes, so happy I found you.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Linda!

[@joangieseke8941]

Great video and an important message about eye health. Your technique is so much more natural than many eye looks I've seen on KZbin. I like to use pencil liner (NARS, Chanel, or Ulta) under the upper lash line and shadow with an angled flat brush over the lash line. If I'm using a palette, I just use the darkest shade and sometimes smudge it a bit.

[@StephanieMarie]

+Joan Gieseke I love using the darkest shade in the palette I'm using...it's really convenient too. I find this to be what I do often! 😁

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Thank you for this very informative video. I will definitely minimize tightlining now.

[@m1975cl]

Excellent, no one talks about this but it's so true, eyeliner on the inside of the eyes everyday is not good for eye health. 😃

[@reneepolmanteer3824]

lovethis video but what I love the most is your description box...I love the fact that you have a foundation conversion chart thatcontains drugstore to high end foundations! I work a full time job with good pay but I just can't afford the high end foundations. I love Revlon Colorstay Whipped for my oily skin but they discontinued it so I went to my two local Ulta stores and loaded up on what I could as it was clearanced out at $7.49 a jar so I got 7 of them, lol, but when it runs out I can refer to your color conversions because we are the same skin tone! You're the first KZbinr I've ever seen do that and with such an extensive, vast list! I'm hitting subscribe right now! 💕

[@StephanieMarie]

I'm so glad that's helpful for you! I try to include it in every video. The only time it's not there is if I run out of characters. But more times than not, it's there! Thanks so much for subscribing! :)

[@freebird1599]

Oh wow this is absolutely amazing makeup advice and tips! I am not one to wear a big wing so this is great. And the facts about the oil glands is something I have never heard but very interesting.

Thank you so much!! I have tried lining my waterline in the past, but it always HURT!! So, I stopped. And, in the back of my mind, I thought I remembered it not being a good thing to do. Love your videos!! So glad to learn you are from Louisiana!! I am very close! I'm in Ascension Parish! If you ever do a meet up I would love to go!!!
