Last week, I did a great service to the world *ahem

I was chosen by Maybelline to be their Hypersharp Liner blogger ambassador! (actually this name I give myself wan to feel self-important #loser)

But what it means is that *I*, armed with with my trusty Maybelline Hypersharp Liner, was tasked to go around for a full day and give eye makeovers to people!

There was even a camera man following me around so I dunno if people thought I was creepy (T-T) . And I was so nervous before cos I thought who would let some vertically challenged stranger near their eyes but it turned out really fun!

Me in Watsons. I was at the branches in Sunway Pyramid and Midvalley.

Never have I been more thankful for shopping baskets T_______T Cos without them I would never have been able to reach people’s eyes I think Maybelline gave me too much height credit.

Honestly what do people eat these days.

Like I said, I was so worried that nobody would come up and let me line their eyes with the Hypersharp Liner cos obviously I’m not a real makeup artist. But so many did!!! Super happy!

(see the camera man poking the camera in hahaha)

After I did their eyes for them, lot of girls also realized that it is super easy to line your eyes using the Hypersharp Liner! Can see so many of them were pleasantly surprised by the difference eyeliner makes when they looked in the mirror *super touched

And quite a few of them actually went and bought the eyeliner after that! Selling for RM23.90 only anyway very affordable.

A lot of my readers came to look for me and let me do their eyes too so touched T_____T

I didn’t expect it but I learned so much that weekend.

First I found out that what’s good for my eyes may not work for other people’s eyes.

Wah I suddenly realized how different everyone’s eyes are! For my eyes I usually just line it very thinly cos if I draw it too thick, I look like I got into a fist fight and got punched in the face T_T

But if I drew it too thinly for people with single eyelids, I realized that the eyeliner couldn’t be seen at all when they opened their eyes! Then I’d have to go “eh sorry sorry cannot see let me draw again” pai seh.

Or if someone had droopy eyes, I drew a wing at the side so the eyes would appear bigger and brighter!

And Indian girls have the prettiest eyes! All the Indian ladies whose eyes I lined had such wide defined eyes already that the littlest bit crooked I went with the eyeliner would show up so clearly on their eyes and spoil the whole look.

I also found out that this phrase I’m fond of saying – “there are no ugly women, only lazy ones” is not exactly true.

A lot of women I met that day weren’t barefaced cos they were lazy or complacent. Actually a lot of them were very interested in learning how to put on makeup but they never got the chance to. Or they thought of it as something too insurmountable and were too nervous to try applying makeup themselves, especially when it came to liquid eyeliner.

I also noticed that a lot of girls put on eyeshadow and mascara but not eyeliner which I think is the makeup item that really defines your eyes! If I woke up late and had to pick one I’d pick eyeliner over any other makeup (sunblock not counted)

A lot of girls I met, I asked if they wanted to try on the eyeliner themselves – cos if it were me I’d have grabbed the pen and done it on my own eyes rather than trust a stranger wtf cos I’d think I know my own eyes best. But they preferred me to do it for them cos I think they were unsure.

One mom even asked me to teach her how to put on eyeliner on her 10 year old daughter so she could do it for her the next time she had a school concert hahaha.

Btw, Maybelline has created a whole bunch of videos to teach people how to draw eyeliner to fix different eye imperfections and for different effects. Click here to see the videos on Maybelline’s Facebook page.

And really it’s very very easy tho especially with the Hypersharp Liner.

Because it is *ahem* hypersharp, the tip of it is super fine and depending on the thickness you want, you can adjust by the way you press down the pen. The tip of it is only 0.05 mm (half a milimeter) leh!

The Hypersharp Liner is also a lot blacker and thicker in consistency than other liquid eyeliner pens I’ve tried.

Lasting power also awesome. (this drawing has stayed on for two days. And not cos I’m dirty!) Other pen liquid liners I’ve used tend to be a little bit watery so by the end of the day I have no eyeliner and only grey smudges around my eyes FML. For Hypersharp, after a whole day out, I can just take it and touch up a bit the wings at the corners of my eyes then tadah can go clubbing already.

Before.

After picture. Extended the bottom eyeliner to make eyes bigger.

I did my entire eye makeup in 5 minutes -_- so I think I could have shaded and played with it more but just to show you the eyeliner la ok!

Hypersharp is available nationwide!

P/S: if you were one of the people who let me loose on your eyes with my Hypersharp, thank you! Video of all the eye makeovers will be posted up on the Maybelline Facebook page sometime in July so you can see yourself there!
