The tightlining or tightliner is a perfect makeup technique for those who want to emphasize the look, making it more intense and magnetic, making even the lashes fuller and fuller. It is perfect for those who prefer a very natural make- up or for those who struggle to make a line of eyeliner or thin pencil or for those with a slightly hooded eye and little mobile eyelid. It is used by many makeup artists and many stars, because it gives a fresh , well-groomed and not too make-up look, therefore suitable for all ages, from the very young who are starting to wear make-up but also to more mature women ., who no longer have a smooth and distended eyelid and may find it difficult to draw a defined or homogeneous line.
The technique consists of filling in the spaces between the lashes , so that no holes of loose skin remain. In addition to a natural makeup , therefore, it is also suitable for more elaborate make-up, to ensure that no non-colored spaces remain between the makeup, mascara and eyelashes, creating continuity and a more complete look.

Making it easy and, with a little practice, fast too. The easiest method is to use a khol pencil , soft but resistant, possibly waterproof, so that the color does not also print in the lower rim but, above all, it resists tearing and humidity in the area. Raise the upper eyelid slightly and, looking down, proceed to apply the pencil in the upper inner line, also darkening the area between the lashes. Then, with a thin angled brush, blend the color between the lashes, so that there are no areas with more product. On the other hand, there are those who prefer to use a gel eyeliner , which is certainly more lasting. In this case you need a small and flat brush, to be smudged with the product: always pulling the eyelid slightly and looking downwards, tap the brush at the lash line, proceeding from the outside inwards, without exaggerating in the part internal so as not to close the look. At this point all that remains is to apply a lot of mascara for a natural look, “no makeup-makeup”, but nothing prevents you from creating an eyeliner line or proceeding with a faded look with eye shadows. It is in fact a versatile technique that adapts to any type of look.

The final effect is that of thicker lashes , enhanced eyes, defined and is a technique that also helps to enlarge the eyes, giving a lifting effect to the eye. And if you have very light eyelashes, nothing prevents you from not using the classic black, but to play with a dark brown , for an even more natural and imperceptible effect. Also try to make the same technique with colored pencils , combining them with more saturated tricks, creating particular contrasts. In fact, whatever makeup you choose to make, it would always be better to outline the eye and cover the holes between the lashes, in order to create a more continuous and homogeneous effect and give greater intensity.
