Hey Hey! I've been kind of busy these days but I didn't forget about you guys,
So, let's get started.
Applying Eyeliner can be extremelly hard and demotivating, specially for people who's starting to risk more on their looks but take it easy! You will get there.
First you need to choose the eyeliner based on the colour and texture you want to achieve and the application method you want to use.
From here you need to identify what finish you want to create – are you thinking of creating cat’s eyes or a smoky look?
If you want to achieve a smooth look with fine lines, then use gel or liquid eyeliner, which will give you the finish you want to achieve.
For a smudgy look, you should use a pencil eyeliner and then use your finger to smudge the eyeliner to create the desired effect.
Always apply the eyeliner after you apply your eye shadow, but before you apply the mascara.
Have a pencil sharpener on hand to ensure your eyeliner pencil is sharp to provide the best results.
You can make your eyeliner last longer by setting it with eye shadow. Make the line with a pencil and then dust with eye shadow of the same shade, this will make your eyeliner last considerably longer.
Use an eyeliner pencil as a guideline for liquid liner. For begginers I suggest to apply first softly with your eyeliner pencil, trace over it with liquid eyeliner if you don’t have the steadiest of hands for the best results.
Create your own eyeliner by wetting your eyeliner brush and using eye shadow, this can give you a wide variety of colours to choose from.
To create a natural or casual look, add the eyeliner between the lashes rather than across the lash line, this will make the eyes look more natural, perfect for a daytime affair.
If you struggle to draw a straight line with eyeliner, then the best trick is to make dots in a line and then connect them using the eyeliner for that perfect straight line every time.
If you find that when you open your eyeliner it has become crumbly, just place it in the freezer for around ten minutes. This will help the eyeliner regain its shape and provide you with a product you can work with in confidence.
When creating cat’s eyes or a winged look work from the outer edge towards the eye rather than away from the eye, this will help you achieve the precise angle you want.
You can make use of clear tape as a guide when drawing cat’s eyes with eyeliner. Place the tape from the bottom lashes to the top end of the eyebrow, giving you an exact line to work with and ensure both eyes are even.
