Perth entrepreneur Iris Smit, the creator of The Quick Flick winged eyeliner, shows us how it works.

“I was thinking about topics that are close to me and I’ve had domestic violence in my family before.”

Miss Smit said her eyeliner business, The Quick Flick, had helped launch Momentum for Australia charity’s campaign, Kiss Violence Against Goodbye! and slogan, ‘Why Wait til the 8th?’.

“During this campaign we’ll be using all of our social platforms to decry violence against women and provide our followers with the resources they may need if they ever find themselves in a similar situation,” she said.

“If we can help one person through Why Wait til the 8th? then in our eyes, it will be a success.

“Four women will come together to be a part of campaign and share their stories so over the month we’re profiling them as sometimes it can be hard to talk about and sometimes it can be taboo.”

The Quick Flick will donate 10 per cent of all profits during the month of March to the campaign.
