I have a love-hate relationship with eyeliner. I used to wear a lot in high school (didn’t everyone?) but as time went on, I realized that it made my eyes look a lot smaller than they already are. So I ditched it for a bit.
Recently, I’ve hopped back on the bandwagon. Sort of. I use black eyeshadow on my lower lid, and sometimes some liquid liner on the top. I’m still getting the hang of getting the look I want. I get uncomfortable with the way I hold the eyeliner, what angle I’m coming at it from… I have to get extremely close to my mirror to be somewhat satisfied.
I bought some white liquid liner when everyone else was using it to recreate the “Rain On Me” looks. I really liked the way it looked on everyone else, and I figured it would help elevate my ~makeup game~ just a bit. So I decided on Danessa Myricks Beauty’s Waterproof Cushion Liner in Cloud Control.
Danessa Myricks is pretty fucking iconic. Just take a scroll through her Instagram and you’ll understand why. Her looks are the epitome of artistry. She even teaches other makeup artists at Danessa Myricks University. And her line of makeup is elite.
Basically, I’m obsessed with this eyeliner. I absolutely love the formula! It goes on flawlessly, it’s buildable, and perfect for creating graphic liner looks. I like to use it as a base since it really makes the colors pop. I apply it to my lid and go over it with the eyeshadow of my choice.
The angled brush that comes with the eyeliner is also amazing. At first I was a little nervous using a brush to apply liquid liner since I never had before, but I was blown away by how effortless my wing was, largely due to the brush. I felt like I had a lot of control over where the liner was going.
The only con, at least for me, is how quickly the liner dries. Its product page boasts that the Waterproof Cushion Liner is “immovable when dry,” which is 100% true. It lasts forever and doesn’t smudge at all. However, this makes it harder for me to fix my mistakes. But like I said before, the angled brush makes mistakes few and far between.
So if you’re looking for some new liquid eyeliner, Danessa Myricks Beauty is the way to go. I’ll definitely be buying the Waterproof Cushion Liner in more colors!
