Eyeliner Advice And Tips

When one talks about make-up, the first thing that comes into mind is eye make-up. Nowadays, most women decorate their eyes with dark eyeliners. Eyeliners give an attractive look to the eyes and many women believe that make-up is imperfect without the application of eyeliner.

It polishes the beauty of women by giving dark beautiful eyes. Applying eyeliner is an art, which needs steady hands and lots of practice for perfect results. There are several patterns that one can have such as a basic eye, cat eye, smoky eye and a bold eye. Learning to put eyeliner is a subtle art since an overdose can create a messy and unsophisticated look. You can use eye pencils, liquid liners or eyeliner dipped into liquid shadow to achieve a variety of results.

How To Apply Eyeliner

  • Liquid eyeliner should only be used above the top lashes. Is is best to use a pencil or eye shadow under the lower lashes. For a more dramatic look, use a colours pencil above and below lashes and follow with a black liquid liner on the top. It will make your lashes look darker and will stay on all day. A dark eye-liner highlights the shape of your eyes and deepens the look.
  • Eyeliner should be applied close to the base of the eyelashes. Products vary from liquid liner to pencil. Practice makes perfect and can achieve a fine line.
  • Don´t apply eyeliner in a thick line. It looks harsh and makes the eye appear heavy and tired. Get out of the 60´s and instead use a fine line. If you have trouble, use a brush to blend and smooth it out.
  • By using a line under the lower lashes gives the illusion of making the eyes appear larger. Instead of using a pencil, try using a small makeup brush with a dark eye shadow.
  • Apply into the lashes to make the lashes appear darker. Below this line apply a highlighter eye shadow (in white, beige or yellow) in a fine line with a cleansed small brush. This will brighten the eye area.
  • There are pencil eyeliners, liquid eyeliner, and cake eyeliners. Pencil liners can be used above top lashes and under lower lashes. Liquid liners should only be used on the top lid.
  • Cake eyeliners are used with water and can be used both top and bottom.A smoky violet pencil looks best for someone with green eyes. On the colour wheel, green and violet are opposite, and so they look well together. Also, look at nature when deciding on a colour palette.
  • Green, burnt orange and beige can be found in a field of autumn colours.If you want to use the same liner pencil for eyes and lips I would recommend using an eyeliner pencil. Then you know this is safe for the eyes. Choose a shade that is a red-brown or a plum-brown.
  • Then it will compliment your lipstick.A liquid eyeliner or a cake eyeliner that you use with a fine brush will stay on the best. If you don´t feel adept at using these, pencils work well also.
  • Pencils can be smudged for a subtle look. Always hold your head back, look down into the mirror, and apply your eyeliner. This will keep your eyelid skin tight and you can make a smooth line.
