" It&amp;#039;s the iconic look that never dates but getting the classic flick perfect is one of biggest beauty dilemmas out there. Enter Lisa Potter-Dixon - head makeup artist at Benefit Cosmetics and author of a brand new makeup tutorial handbook, Easy on the Eyes \u2013 who took over Cosmo&amp;#039;s Beauty Booth to demonstrate how to nail it. Like riding a bike, she says, once you have liner know-how you&amp;#039;ll keep the skill forever. Look and learn: Top tip: &amp;quot;The eyeliner flick should go up to where your brows end so do your brows first so you can map out your flicks and make sure they are even! I prefer to use gel liner because it gives you a matte finish.&amp;quot;  Step 1:   &amp;quot;I always start by applying my liner in the centre of the upper eyelid \u2013 I just find it easier to see what I&amp;#039;m doing that way. So, starting in the centre, draw a line each way along the top lash line, as close to the lashes as possible. Top tip: Try and keep your eyes open when doing liner so you can hug the liner to the lashes \u2013 without having an awkward gap between your liner and lash line.&amp;quot; Step 2:   &amp;quot;From the outside corner of your eye, draw a line angled upwards, approximately 1/8 inch in length, towards the end of your brow.&amp;quot;  Step 3:   &amp;quot;From the tip of this line, draw back towards the lash line about a third of the way along the eye.&amp;quot; Step 4:   &amp;quot;Fill in the gap and apply mascara.&amp;quot;  Finishing touch:   &amp;quot;I like to complete classic liner with a red lip stain.&amp;quot;  The end look: Lisa&amp;#039;s book, Easy on the Eyes, features 20 amazing eye makeup looks that can be done in 5, 15 or 30 minutes. It&amp;#039;s available from 10th September at amazon.co.uk and this week she&amp;#039;s demonstrating 3 key looks for Cosmo. Marv.
