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, smokey 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 Liquid Eyeliner:
The classic way to apply eyeliner is to start from the inner or middle line of the eyelashes and brush it outward. Applying liquid liner requires a firm hand and a strong, smooth, and unbroken line makes the eyes look stunning. To apply the liner properly, one should consider the following steps.
Step 1: Clean the eye, before applying the eyeliner.
Step 2: Start with the inner line of the eyelashes and jiggle the liner inside the lashes. It gives the illusion of naturally thick and dense eyelashes.
Step 3: Give an additional touch of mascara.
Step 4: After you are done lining both eyes compare them in a mirror to make sure there are no dissimilarities.
General Tips For Eyeliner Application:
1. Before applying the eyeliner, cover your eyes with a small quantity of foundation or talc.
2. Do not take an excessive amount of liquid on the brush while applying liquid eyeliner. Before starting it on the eye, dab off the extra liquid and take the brush out of the tube.
3. When using liquid eyeliners put on the shadow first and then apply the eyeliner. Let the liner dry and after that put on the mascara to have finished the look.
4. Eyeliner should be applied close to the lashes and avoid the white line which appears when the liner doesn’t connect the lashes. Applying liner close to lashes gives natural thick looking lashes.
5. While using a liner pencil use a soft-tipped pencil that will not harm your eye.
6. When applying eye pencil, open your mouth slightly, which will relax your eye muscles and you can apply the pencil without pulling the eye-lid.
Handy Tricks For Applying Eyeliner:
1. Applying white eyeliner inside the lower lid makes eyes look brighter but an overdose does not look good. It is should be applied in minute quantities only to highlight.
2. For graceful eyes, one should apply liquid eyeliner on the top lid and pencil liner inside the lower lid. This will give a perfect almond shape to your eyes.
3. Avoid using dark eyeliner if you have dark circles; this will darken the circles further and will dampen the beauty of the whole face.
4. If you want to perk up your drooping eyes, apply the liner up towards the outer corner of the eye. Applying mascara to your lashes after this will give an extremely well-groomed look.
5. If you have an eye pencil with a freshly sharpened tip, you can soften the effect by applying a powder shadow of a similar hue with the help of a shadow brush.
6. For longer effects, one should make use of liquid or gel eyeliner. Pencil liners are easily melted and do not stay longer.
