Eyelining Tool Needs to be Invented

Pretty eyes are within the reach of many people with only traditional -- nice -- eyes as they approach adulthood. As a child eyes are huge and lashes are lush and or long while at adult hood lashes appear shorter (they turn white or ash at the ends) and eyes seen smaller and if you begin using mascara you may never go back to bare eyes because the mascara gives you back the wide eyed innocent, sweet look of your youth. Some men even use a little I hear, even though with rich brows they don't loose as much eye appear as the girls do when you compare to younger times.

It is hard to apply eyeliner well when it comes to reshaping the eyes when you get even older, just following the lash lines may not do the job anymore, going without might work but even better would be a tool.

I read somewhere about using the back of a plastic spoon to keep mascara from touching your lids during application and it gave me an idea -- other tools to stencil on eyeliner, like eyebrow stencils, but for the eyeliner.

I was reading TiffanyD who I follow and I am eagerly planning some stencils so I can look prettier, especially around the eyes. Photo of Tiffany clipped from UTube.

Her creative spins on eye corners:
> a. top and bottom wing out
\  b. only top wings out.

These get filled in by putting a dot off center of the lid toward the outer corner, meaning the outer third of the eye gets traced with a line (b.) that gets filled in into a triangular shape when you connect the off center dot to the line you have drawn, with another line keeping both the outline line and the new connector line very sharp and being careful not to smudge, you can work a the tilt until it suits you and you can apply a clear or masking tape to make a clean straight edge, you could even use a square of cardboard (from a boxtop, a post card, etc.) to make the line super straight and sharp.

Choice a. repeats the technique on both the top and bottom lids, only you mustn't dare let the boundary lines come together anywhere except the outer eye corner. Hence I am looking for a tool. I think once again a cardboard with a V snipped out of it could be held against the outer corner to make the edges perfect.
