How To Apply Eyeliner
In terms of cosmetics, eye liners can most definitely be considered as the most popular. They not only enhance your look but also add sophistication and a tinge of drama without a lot of effort and time.
There are various looks that one can get through the use of a liner. However, being able to use it effectively is crucial. This article caters to this and through its course will help you learn the various ways of how to apply eyeliner.
The first step is definitely to choose a liner. There are a few things to keep in mind: the color you want, the texture as well as the fact that whether you want the cream, pencil or liquid liner. Choose the color based on your hair, iris color, etc.
In terms of the mode of application, cream and liquid liners are best if you are looking for the smoothest look. You can easily apply it near the lash line without ruining it. However, in order to get a smoky or smudgy look, the pencil does wonders. Draw thick lines; smudge it using a q- tip or a brush or even your fingertip.
Also remember that the job of a liner comes in only after part of the makeup is done such as after applying the shadow. But it should be applied before the mascara. In case you are using a pencil liner, keep in mind to have a sharpener too. Another tip is that the application of primer is optional. However, if you want the makeup to be there the whole day, apply it. Apply it near the lash line where you would be using the liner.
In terms of the application, tilt your head back, stretch your eyes using the other hand, raise the eye brows and apply it. To look even better, also use the liner on the bottom lashes. That would make them look fuller.
When applying on both the lashes, connect the liner at the outside corner through a slight tapering. You can also tight-line your lashes. It could be difficult; the process is to apply the liner on both the upper and lower waterline along the whole rim. This would be perfect if you used a cream or liquid liner. This enhances the look all the more.
Using white liner is also a very good way to make your eyes look bigger and brighter. Using the white liner on the upper and lower lashes will look good. After that you can apply a darker color which will make the eyes look even bigger.
As mentioned above, the use of a liner can work wonders. In that case, one can also get a cat eye by using the liner on the upper lash line and drawing it towards the outer corner and pushing it out. It should go towards the end of the brow and then tapered. This would make the look different and also create the illusion of having long lashes. Two layers of liner could give an even more interesting look.
For a smoky look, you can smudge the liner with a q- tip, brush or even your fingertips. Just smear it slowly and blend it gradually with that of the shadow. Again, for daily wear, apply it in a thin manner or you can also give a dramatic loo with thick lines.
Therefore, to wrap up, applying the liner can be easy. However, first timers can mess it up. As they say, practice makes a person perfect. Never rush, be patient. And again, clean your face off all earlier make up before applying fresh ones.
