Out of all the beauty tricks we’ve learnt over the years, tightlining is our favourite! By applying eyeliner between the roots of your upper lash line, you can create the illusion of bigger eyes and thicker lashes… and who wouldn’t want that?! However, any old eyeliner won’t work for tightlining. Instead, check out these 5 liners that are perfect for this technique.
