4 Easy Tips To Apply Eye Liner The Right Way

Eyeliner is one of the most important cosmetics and can give you a dramatic look without much time or effort. Whether you choose a soft line or a dramatic stroke, you can embellish the windows to your soul by spending just a few minutes in front of a mirror with an eyeliner pencil.

Step 1. Choose an eyeliner. There are several factors to consider when you are choosing an eyeliner - what color, texture, and mode of application do you want? Eyeliner typically comes in either a pencil, cream, or liquid application form. As far as colors go though, the sky is the limit. If you have blonde hair, consider using a brown eyeliner for everyday wear. If you have dark hair, use black eyeliner on a regular basis. For the smoothest, finest line use a cream eyeliner (applied with an eyeliner brush) or a liquid eyeliner. These are the easiest to control and apply close to the lashline.

If you want a smudgy, blurred effect, use an eyeliner pencil. These tend to be a bit chunkier and apply thicker lines than cream or liquid eyeliners. They can be easily smudged using your fingertip, angled brush, or a q-tip.

If you don’t happen to have eyeliner on hand, you can use any powdered eyeshadow mixed with a few drops of water and an eyeliner brush. This won’t have the same long-lasting effects as a traditional eyeliner, but it is a cheap and an easy alternative.

 As much as your wallet may disagree, using nicer, more expensive eyeliners does significantly improve the color and duration of your eyeliner. Instead of immediately grabbing the 99 cent sale pencil at the drugstore, look at reviews for the top eyeliner brands online before making your purchase.

Step 2. Choose the look you are going for. Do you want a sleek, daytime look? Or a smoky evening look? Consider the thickness of the eyeliner as well as the placement on either the top lid, bottom lid, or both.

Step 3. Put on your regular makeup. Eyeliner should always be applied over eyeshadow but before mascara, making it one of the final steps of your makeup routine. Start by putting on your foundation, blush, and eyeshadow before moving to the eyeliner application.
Make sure you have a pencil sharpener on hand if you are using an eyeliner pencil, or a clean eyeliner brush for a cream or liquid liner.To keep your eye makeup lasting all day, use an eyeshadow primer before. Make sure to rub the primer near the lash line where your eyeliner will be sitting.

Step 4. Finish the line. Make sure that each of the dots has been connected, and that the ends of the line taper slightly instead of ending in a blunt, rounded dot.
