Lily Allen says it took a lot of practise to perfect her eyeliner look

Lily Allen may have access to some of the world’s best make-up artists, but she knows it takes practise to perfect the eyeliner flick.

The singer admits that like a lot of women, she used to suffer from ‘The Rage’ when she obesses over the eveness of the heavy black lines on her upper lips.

In an interview with Now magazine she said: "It takes practice. I used to get The Rage, but it helps if you approach it calmly. 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.

"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!"

And whilst most women might not admit to how many clothes they really have, Lily is thankful for her huge wardrobe; she likes that she has enough clothes to match them to her fake nail range.

The singer recently collaborated with beauty accessories company, Elegant Touch to create a collection of fun and bright fake nails.

When asked if her nail polish often reflects her mood, she said: "I'd say the way I dress is more of a mood thing. I'm quite into being matchy matchy - so I'm more likely to match my nail colours to my outfit than my mood.

"Then again, I'm really lucky - I have so many clothes, shoes and accessories that I can actually match everything to anything."

The 'Lily Loves Nails' collection is available from the high street drug store, Superdrug and features an array of prints, including a glittery rainbow manicure, a sophisticated half-moon pattern and a bright London skyline design.
