Alright, let’s talk about my little adventure with YSL makeup, specifically, the “ysl mark” – assuming we’re talking about a specific YSL product, maybe a stamp or applicator situation. Here’s how it went down:
So, first things first, I saw this thing online, right? Some influencer was using it to get, like, the PERFECT winged liner or something. I thought, “Okay, I NEED that in my life.” My winged liner is usually a hot mess, so anything that promised to make it easier was worth a shot.
I hit up the YSL counter at the department store. The lady there was super helpful. I told her I was looking for this “ysl mark” thingy. She knew exactly what I meant – apparently, it’s more common than I thought. She showed me a couple of options – some were stencils, some were more like little stamps. I decided to go with the stamp version. It looked easier to handle, and less likely to smudge all over my face.
Got home, ripped open the packaging like a kid on Christmas. The stamp itself was pretty small, and it came with a little pot of black liquid liner. Okay, here we go. Time to put this thing to the test.
The first try? Disaster. I pressed the stamp too hard, and ended up with a blob of black ink halfway up my eyelid. Seriously looked like I’d been punched. Okay, deep breaths. Cleaned it up with some makeup remover and tried again.
- Take 1: Black blob. Fail.
- Take 2: Didn’t press hard enough. Faint, uneven line. Still fail.
- Take 3: Okay, NOW we’re getting somewhere. Light pressure, a little wiggle, and BAM! Decent-looking wing on one eye.
Now for the other eye. This is always the tricky part, right? Trying to get them symmetrical. It took a few more tries, but I finally managed to get a wing that was…mostly even with the first one. Close enough for government work, as they say.
Lessons Learned:
- Less is more. Don’t press too hard with the stamp.
- Practice makes perfect. Seriously, it took me like five tries to get it right.
- Good makeup remover is your best friend. You’re gonna need it.
Overall, I’d say the “ysl mark” is…okay. It definitely makes doing winged liner faster, once you get the hang of it. But it’s not a miracle worker. You still need a steady hand and a lot of patience. And maybe a few extra cotton swabs.
Would I recommend it? If you struggle with winged liner and you’re willing to put in the time to learn how to use it, then yeah, give it a shot. But don’t expect it to be a foolproof solution. It’s just another tool in the makeup arsenal. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go practice some more. Those wings aren’t going to perfect themselves!
