How to Apply Eyeliner?
I love eyeliners. They can make my eyes look bigger and defined. I can tolerate both liquid and pencil types.
But do you know how to apply them? Here some tips for you :)
1 Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy and charcoal accent light eyes well, while brown and plum shades flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.
2 Consider the type of look you're after. Pencil eyeliner gives your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision and drama. You can also moisten dark eye shadow and apply it with a small, flat brush.
3 Prepare a cake liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small amount of water to your brush. Or, if you're using a pencil eyeliner, ensure that you've sharpened the pencil adequately.
4 Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow. Hold the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.
5 Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing.
6 Draw a line across the upper lid just above the lashes, from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. If you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye. Do this slowly.
7 If you used a brush or a pencil, soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger.
8 Line the lower lids. Moving from the outside edge inward, draw a line on the outer two-thirds of the lid or more, depending on the look you're going for. Your line should be slightly thicker at the outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose. Using your brush or pencil, lightly stroke the area. If using a liquid liner, apply it in one smooth stroke. Apply less color so your eyes don't appear raccoon-like.
NOTE :
* You may find eyeliner, particularly the liquid version, difficult and messy the first few times. * Practice and have patience.
* Wash brushes regularly with makeup remover or a mild gel shampoo.
* Lining the inside of the lower lid is not recommended as it may cause eye infections, and it greatly increases the risk of getting makeup in your eye.
