<\/p>\nA CELEBRITY makeup artist has revealed her method for achieving a red carpet-ready look.<\/p>\n
She said her technique for applying eyeliner to the waterline won't budge, even under flashing lights.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Melissa Murdick (@itsmakeupbymelissam) filmed herself spilling her secrets in a video on TikTok.<\/p>\n
"Do you see this gorgeous waterline eyeliner and how it's nice and black and staying put?" she said, gesturing to her eyes.<\/p>\n
"I'm a celebrity makeup artist. I have to do this all the time for red carpets and make it stay. And I'm going to share my secret. <\/p>\n
"Number one, do not use a pencil liner for this. What you want instead is some sort of waterproof cream liner. Not a liquid, not a gel, not a pencil cream. This is by L'Or\u00e9al. <\/p>\n
"I'm going to use a flat liner brush with this," she added, using the wing brush from Elf cosmetics.<\/p>\n
Next, she used a simple disposable tool many people already have in their bathrooms.<\/p>\n
"We're going to take a Q-tip and we're actually going to dry off the waterline on the bottom. And then we're going to apply our cream liner there," she said.<\/p>\n
"Pick up the liner on both sides of the brush, wipe off the excess, and then lay it on its side and literally press it into the waterline. <\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "So we're patting it on so that we get a nice thick layer of it. And I will typically do this twice. <\/p>\n "I will pat it on once and then go back in and get a little more and pat on another layer. <\/p>\n "Do the exact same thing on the top waterline, drying it off with your Q-tip and then taking your brush layered with product and patting it," she added. <\/p>\n She emphasized getting into the roots of the lashes and even repeating the process for more security.<\/p>\n "Just to complete the look, I am taking a dark brown shadow and a little smudge brush and just kind of smudging that into the lower lashes and the upper lash line, so it doesn't look as harsh," she said.<\/p>\n "This actually doesn't have to do anything with making the product stay, but I think it looks nicer than just having the waterline," she added.<\/p>\n She said while her trick makes a big difference, it's not necessarily a miracle worker.<\/p>\n "Now, keep in mind, yes, this will eventually move some. It is not going to stay put forever. We do have moisture in our eye," she said.<\/p>\n "Be realistic, but this should stay way better than you just trying to draw on a little bit of liner with a pencil, especially when the waterline is still wet," she added.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TM-comp-Cat-Deeley-v2-1.jpg\")
