A Line Above The Lash

March 7, 2009

A little can go a long way, and sometimes I like to let my lashes speak for themselves. Long lashes look beautiful on their own and make an otherwise clean natural look really pop.

But then sometimes I want an extra little flair to keep the look playful and interesting.

Eyeliner comes first to mind- there are so many possibilities that come with it, colors included. Since I am going for a natural clean look I chose to use black eyeliner and use it very sparingly.

To keep it natural I don’t even want to line the entire eye- the look is bold and fun but not minimal enough for what I am looking for. So I play around with the end and add just a simple extension from my natural line, filling it in until it returns meeting the rest of my eye, leaving two thirds of the top line of my eye lashes completely untouched.

Very simple, very delicate and the look is beautiful. I love it.

I keep everything else simple to complete the look as well- only a slight brush of bronze on my cheeks, revealing only a hint of color, and some light pink gloss for a little shine.

I think there is something elegant about keeping it simple from time to time, letting features speak for themselves.

And this tiny little line does just the trick- beautiful, simple, and elegant.
