Hey guys, my name is Susan, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, we are going to learn how to do eyeliner flicks. And now there are two different types of tools you could use to achieve the look. The first being a gel eyeliner used with an angled brush. Or what we are going to use today is a liquid eyeliner marker. Now after you've put your eyeliner on, and you are going to stop right outside on your outer corner of your eye. Not going past that inner corner in your lash line. Now to get that really pretty flick at the end you are going to actually draw a line from the outer corner of your eye right up near your crease. You are going to connect your initial eyeliner and that little line at the end. So we are going to connect, connect, connect. And feel free to touch up at the end if need be to make the look really nice and crisp. It takes a little bit of practice but once you get it it's really pretty. And it's a fun daytime look. So I hope you are able to learn a little something, keep practicing. And I'll talk to you soon.
