This little hair accessory is the perfect tool for easily drawing a line of eyeliner

“How to make a successful line of eyeliner” is probably the most frequently asked beauty question on the internet. At the same time, it is a rather difficult exercise that only the most experienced can achieve without difficulty. If you don’t fall into this category, know that there are solutions. And there is one, spotted on a certain Tiktok page Iron Lopezwhich particularly caught our attention. It consists of using a small hair clip (also called a hairpin in English) as a stencil to be able to draw the perfect comma. You had to think about it!

A precise tool

For outside corners

Especially appreciated for its precision, the hair clip it is placed directly on the outer corner of the eye. Once positioned correctly, all you have to do is arm yourself with your favorite liner and color within the delimited space. Then all that remains is to connect this line to the eyelid, as you would with a regular liner. But did you know that the pin’s elongated shape makes it ideal for stretching as well the inner corner of the eye and draw a feline look?

For internal corners

This technique comes from another TikTokeuse nicknamed @docnafiakhan. It consists in separate the two parts of the hair clip then rub it against some liner ink. Then you just need to extend the inner corners of the eye with the tool, gently moving it a few millimeters. Very fine and precise, allows you to get the perfect tip to give more depth to the look without the result being mixed.

In short… Using hair clips is definitely the way to go.It’s easier, faster and more accessible to draw a lining line in a playful way. All this while saving precious minutes of preparation in the bathroom, because it is no longer necessary to do it 3 times. Is this the demand of the people?
