Tips for How to Apply Eyeliner ?

Lets Learn How to Apply Eyeliner ?

Choosing  a Eyeliner: 

• Use a pencil liner for easy natural or smudged looks. Pencils are easy to apply because you use them as you would any other pencil.

•  You can lightly apply the pencil for a subtle, natural look, or you can smudge your pencil to create smoky or dramatic eyes. It also won't run into your eyes like liquid liners can.

• When using a pencil liner, you will need to occasionally sharpen or dull your pencil.

Method of How to apply eyeliner 

Sharpen or Dull eyeliner: 

• Sharpen or dull your liner pencil if necessary. The sharpness of your eyeliner pencil will affect the way that the eyeliner looks.
•  You can create a precise, thin line by sharpening your pencil, or you can create a more rounded, thick line by dulling the pencil.
• To sharpen the pencil, use an eyeliner pencil sharpener to make the pencil as sharp as you want it to be.
• To dull the pencil, gently rub the tip of the pencil on a tissue until it is to the desired level of dullness.

Prepare your Eyeliner:

• To warm up your liner, turn on your hair dryer on its highest setting and aim it at your eyeliner for a few seconds. This will soften up the liner enough to give it a gel-like consistency. Then, test the liner on your wrist before you apply it to your eye.

• To cool down your liner, try placing it in the freezer for about 10 minutes before you apply it. This will help to prevent the pencil eyeliner from crumbling.

Hold the outer corner of your eyelid:

• Place your fingers on the outer edge of your upper lash line and pull outwards gently so that the eyelid is taut. This will help to ensure that you create a straight even line along your upper lash line. You may also want to close your eyelid as you pull it taut.

• Raise your eyebrows so that your eyelid does not block your lash line at all.

• It may also be helpful to rest your elbow on a table or counter-top to keep your hand steady.

Start at the inner corner and work across:

 Begin lining the inner corner of your eyelid and move towards the outer edge of your eyelid. Make sure that you go slowly and use short strokes to create an even line.

If you want to make your eyes look bigger and more open, then you may consider applying a lighter color just to the inner corner of your upper lash line. For example, you could use a cream colored liner on the inner corners and a brown colored liner on the outer corners. Use an angled brush for blending if you are combining more than one color.

Consider tight lining for a more natural look: 

• If you want a really natural look, then you might consider tight lining your eyes. To tight line your eyes, only apply the eyeliner to the spaces between your lashes on your upper lid. This will accentuate your eyes without creating a dramatic line.
• You can tight line your upper and/or lower lash line.

For an even more natural look, try tight lining your eyes with a neutral shade, such as light brown.

Line your lower lash line:

•  If you decide to line your lower lid, place a finger on the outer edge of your lower lid and pull it taut. Then, begin applying liner using short strokes, just as you did with the top lid.

• Line the entire bottom lash line for a dramatic look. Lining the entire lower lash line along with your upper lash line will make your eyes look even more dramatic, though it will also make them look smaller.

• Line just the outer half of the lower lash line for a subtler look. You can also use a lighter shade of eyeliner for the lower lash to make the effect a bit less dramatic. For example, you could use a light brown shade on your lower lash line.
