Hola! :)
Happy Sunday and welcome back to my blog! Today I will be sharing with you my favourite eye makeup products. (& by eye makeup products I totes just mean bare minimum eye makeup which is eyeliner and mascara.) I know I didn't post a February Favourites sooo I hope this kind of makes up for it.
I am a really simple gal when it comes to eye makeup or makeup in general. Whenever I wear contacts, I usually just choose between 2 options to make my eyes standout. It would either be a 1) winged eyeliner look or 2) attempt to make lashes standout without eyeliner.
So if we went with Option 1.
are you ready for this post-ception because I am going to share with you a DUPE for the Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner.
My go to eyeliner aka HOLY GRAIL EYELINER is The Face Shop's Face it Extreme Brush Pen Eyeliner EX! I do not remember the exact price for it but i think it was between $9 - $12 CAN. I discovered this before I bought the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner to try due to all the hype. After buying it, I discovered that The Face Shop's eyeliner is definitely a cheaper and greater alternative! It has a brush tip liner that when you use it, feels just like the Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner. The two basically look the same + they both have a ball inside the pen so you can shake it to what I believe keeps the formula moving so it doesn't dry up? In addition, I like the Face Shop eyeliner more because it just glides right on! and I find that the Kat Von D formula actually dries up / flakes faster on my eyes than the other.
Now if we went with Option 2.
(1. Etude House - Dr. Mascara Fixer / 2. Cover Girl - Clump Crusher / 3. L'Oreal - Voluminous Waterproof Mascara / 4. Shu Uemura - Eyelash Curler)
The problem with my lashes is that they're short and straight. Some mascaras can help me lengthen them or thicken the look of them, however they don't usually stay like that for long. Now I don't have to deal with that problem anymore because I have discovered 4 awesome products. .
The first tool being the Shu Uemura eyelash curler. It actually does curl my lashes the best, maybe it really is made for asian eyes. shrug idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have tried other eyelash curlers and they just do not give me the same curls as the aforementioned does. The next product is the Etude House Dr Mascara Fixer, it acts as a primer to help the lashes stay curled for a long period of time. AND BOY DOES IT DO THAT. I like to curl my lashes before I prime my lashes so that the primer can hold onto the curl shape after. Finally I would then put on a coat of the Cover Girl Clump Crusher to lengthen, followed by the L'Oreal Mascara to thicken the base of my lashes. I also tend to go through my lashes one more time with the Clump Crusher to remove any clumps.

So there you have it, those are my basic eye makeup products. I really hope that you give the eyeliner and/or mascara routine a try! annd then also tell me how it goes.
Thank you for reading,
Until next time!
