Describe your favorite eye defining trick.
My favorite eye defining trick is of course, Laura's tight eye line. This technique is famous in the world of beauty! Use a Laura Mercier powder Eye Liner mixed with water to create a "shoe polish" like texture. Once the eyeliner is mixed together, use it with Laura's exclusive Flat Eye Liner Brush at the root of the eyelashes. The result is magnificent! The effect is wide, bright, and defined eyes!
