Tightlining
Tightlining is a makeup technique where eyeliner is applied to the waterline (the inner rim) of the upper eyelid, making the base of the lashes appear fuller and the eyes more defined without a visible line on the eyelid. This subtle method is often used to enhance the eyes naturally, making them look larger and more awake.
Application
- Use a waterproof pencil or gel eyeliner for best results.
- Gently lift the upper eyelid and apply the liner directly to the waterline.
- Can be combined with mascara or eyeshadow for a more dramatic effect.
Erotic Writing Tips
- Tightlining can be described as an intimate, precise ritual, with the sensation of the cool pencil against the sensitive waterline.
- The technique can be referenced in scenes where a character's gaze is especially intense or captivating.
Example
"She leaned close to the mirror, steadying her hand as she tightlined her eyes, the subtle darkness making her gaze all the more hypnotic."
