Singer Lily Allen may have popular make-up artists taking care of her looks, but she knows it takes practise to perfect the art of applying eyeliner.

In an interview with Now magazine, she said "it takes practice", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I tilt my head backwards and apply white eyeliner along the inside of my eye, then flick it up along the lower lashes. That way I have a subtle line to glide the black on," she said.

"Just hug the colour as close as you can to your lashes, following the white line up. Oh, and remember your eyes are sisters, not twins... They will never look the same, so let it go!" she added.
