Tips for creating a flawless bold eye look

One of the toughest aspects of creating a bold eye look? Symmetry. As Yoshimoto Bua puts it, "Sometimes we nail it, sometimes we don't." Luckily, she has some great tips for avoiding and fixing mistakes. First, she stabilizes her drawing hand by placing a finger on the face ("like when you're playing pool," she says). As for erasing errors, she likes to go in with a "concealer brush with a tiny bit of product" to gently "feather the ends," adjusting shapes and blurring harsh edges.
