If you are a "blinker" like me or not very experienced it might be best to avoid eyeliner altogether in the workplace, it can be tricky to do it without doing too much. I find you get the most bang for your buck from a little concealer where needed. | |

Depending on skin, spot treatments over some primer might be okay, if the colour is well matched. | |
