Free Floating Eyeliner (a.k.a. graphic liner and cut-crease liner)
The rules have changed. Eyeliner is no longer just for your lash line. Make a statement, use your eyeliners to create shapes, styles and patterns on your lids. To create your personalized graphic look grab your eye primer, eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara and dismiss the rules of traditionally blended makeup. Draw attention to the area just above the crease or create a graphic style at the corners of they eye. There are no rules, but here are some ideas to get you started.

Step by Step: How to create a free-floating eyeliner look.
You will notice that I prefer a softer, more natural makeup finish.
You will need:
- eyeshadow primer
- eyeshadow
- eyeliner
- mascara
- eyebrow pencil/powder
- Start with a clean eye. Apply eyeshadow base all over the lid.
- Apply eyeshadow. If you always wear the same colors, change it up for fun.
- Apply eyeliner on lash line (optional)
- Create a line or design with eyeliner so that it stands out, even if it’s subtle.
- Add mascara
- Fill in your brows
- Add any finishing touches
- You’re ready to show off your new look.
I would love to see your floating eyeliner looks. Follow me on IG @lorriepearson and tag me so that I can see your post.
My girlfriend loves trying out all sorts of make-ups and when she showed up with what she said was floating eyeliner, I told her that was not a thing. Okay, after this article I now know its actually a thing. Im sending her the link to this article. And probably get her a gift as a form of apology.

well floating eyeliner is indeed good and soft to use to use in eye make up and it is standard in color and beauty.
now my question is, is it normal for male to make up, and can men be handsome when using floating eyeliner to design.
can these website be of lecture to teach on how to use these product and if yes how can we receive the lesson.
Hello loveremma,
It’s perfectly acceptable for men to wear makeup.
Unlike traditionally blended eye makeup looks that are focused on effortlessly blending away any lines of demarcation, floating creases are all about appearing graphic and bold, drawing attention to a crisp line just above the crease..I’m already starting to like the floating creases. Thanks for sharing this information. I will keep checking for more.
Thanks for your comments Hillary!
