Half magic eyeliner is a trendy makeup technique that involves only applying eyeliner halfway along the lash line. This style creates a unique and edgy look that has gained popularity in recent years. To achieve the half magic eyeliner look, start by choosing a bold and vibrant eyeliner color. This could be anything from a bright purple to a deep blue or even a metallic shade. The key is to select a color that will make a statement and draw attention to your eyes. Next, gently pull your eyelid taut so that you have a smooth and even surface to work on.

Next, gently pull your eyelid taut so that you have a smooth and even surface to work on. Begin applying the eyeliner at the inner corner of your eye, starting as close to the lash line as possible. Instead of lining your entire eye, only draw the eyeliner about halfway along the lash line.
How to Perform Card Magic with Jason Ladanye
Jason Ladanye is a world-class sleight of hand magician and card cheating expert, known for his latest book “Confident Deceptions”, his studies with Darwin Ortiz and knowledge in the major topics of theory, practise, scripting and tension made him a great addition to the podcast.
Jason first started magic when he was 5 through his brother showing him a simple magic trick and his parents giving him magic books from the library they lived above. He then watched the David Copperfield special and was instantly hooked, so he bought as much magic stuff as he could.
What attracted him to the cards were how many tricks you could perform with one pack, and there not being any evidence when asked how you did it. After saving up money from performing at parties, Jason bought his first Darwin Ortiz VHS, and asked if he could be a mentor to him after a surprise phone call.
This, among other things made it clear that card magic was for him. Jason learned about breaking tricks down, learning them as in-depth as possible and how to trust your mentor. From here, Jason went into his own magic theory all about the importance of character, premise, effect and – most importantly – progression.
Scripting was also a big deal, as it helps him keep consistent with each show (which he’s still developing to this day).
Ortiz is a huge inspiration to the DIM boys, as both of his most popular books “Strong Magic” and “Designing Miracles” are in their Theory Resource Guide. A huge lesson that Ortiz taught Jason was figuring out “why” exactly a trick works and is performed that way. He then talks about the benefits of tension vs surprise, and how to
keep the audience in the palm of your hand for as long as possible.
One of the tricks in his latest book shows how to do this in 60 seconds!
What was the biggest things you took from mentoring with Ortiz?
“He taught me that character, premise, effect and progression are the most important
things in any performance”
What do you want to ask the audience?
Who are you and is it consistent to the work you’re doing?
What do you want to tell the audience?
Watch your online criticisms of another people’s work, unless you can helpfully show a
better version of it
What was your favourite part of the podcast?
Jonah liked applying Hitchcock’s tension theory to your magic.
Tyler liked putting in an obstacle to extend the final suspense of a trick.
Jason says it’s all about premise and effecting character

To create a clean and precise line, use short, quick strokes rather than dragging the eyeliner in one continuous motion. This will help you maintain control and keep the line neat. If you make any mistakes or want to clean up the line, you can use a small makeup brush or a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. Once you have finished applying the eyeliner, take a step back and assess the overall look. The half magic eyeliner should create a bold and eye-catching effect that accentuates your eyes. If desired, you can further enhance the look by adding a touch of mascara to your lashes or applying eyeshadow in complementary shades. Whether you choose to wear the half magic eyeliner for a special occasion or incorporate it into your everyday makeup routine, this trend is sure to make a statement. It offers a fresh and creative twist on traditional eyeliner styles, allowing you to experiment with color and shape. So, embrace your inner artist and have fun creating your own half magic eyeliner look!.
Reviews for "Half Magic Yeliner Hacks: Tips and Tricks for Beginners"
1. - Amanda - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Half Magic Eyeliner. The formula was very watery and smudged easily, causing my eyeliner to look messy and uneven. It didn't dry quickly either, so I had to be careful not to touch my eyes until it was completely dry. The color payoff was also very poor, requiring multiple layers for any kind of noticeable effect. Overall, I would not recommend this eyeliner as there are much better options available on the market.
2. - James - 1 star - This Half Magic Eyeliner was a complete waste of money. The packaging made it seem like it would be a high-quality product, but the actual performance was far from it. The tip was too thick and difficult to control, resulting in messy and uneven lines. Additionally, the formula smudged easily and did not stay in place throughout the day. I had to constantly touch up my eyeliner, which was very inconvenient. I would not recommend this eyeliner to anyone looking for a precise and long-lasting application.
3. - Sarah - 2 stars - I found the Half Magic Eyeliner to be very disappointing. The color was not as vibrant as I had hoped, and the formula was not very pigmented. It required multiple coats to achieve the desired intensity, which made the eyeliner feel heavy on my eyelids. The staying power was also lacking, as it smudged and faded within a few hours. Overall, I was not impressed with this eyeliner and would not repurchase it.
4. - Michael - 1 star - The Half Magic Eyeliner was a complete letdown. The formula was extremely drying and made my eyelids feel tight and uncomfortable. It also emphasized any imperfections or dry patches on my eyelids, making my overall eye look appear rough and uneven. The eyeliner did not glide smoothly on the skin, making it difficult to achieve a precise line. I would not recommend this eyeliner to anyone looking for a comfortable and easy application.
