Is it OK to line eyes using a lip brush?

Question

Can i wet the brush then i dip it into my dark eyeshadow to line my eyes. I read somehwhere that you could actually do that. Have you tried it?

Answer 1

Thats a great make up artist trick used often. I do that when I want to darken any of my eyeshadows. I suggest using a priming base before so that it doesn't smudge or fade. Try MAC base, it's so great and will last forever.

Answer 2

To add brightness to the drooping and tired eyes, line the outer third of eye almost touching the lashes and sweeping the liner slightly up at the corner of the eye. There is a procedure that can define your eyes permanently called micro pigmentation, also known as permanent eyeliner. Here, an organic pigment is embedded beneath the skin using a hand-held device that punctures the skin hundreds of times per minute with a very thin needle and pushes the pigment into the desired location. This procedure is also used to shape your eyebrows, color lips and add blush to your cheeks permanently. It can also be used to wear a permanent eye shadow. However, as this procedure is more painful and costly, most women prefer to do makeup instead of going for permanent procedures.

Answer 3

Haven't tried but seems like worth experimenting. Just make sure the lip brush is clean & free from oily residue which can cause the eyeliner to smear.

Answer 4

u probably will not get a nice clean straight line...an angled brush is not that expensive and u will have the right tool 4 the job which should make things much easier

Answer 5

Actually, I've done it, and it is ok to do, and it looks good, but you should be sure to, as Treadstone said, clean the brush and what-not.
