can u apply eye liner using a flat brush and a dark eyeshadow?? i heard that somewhere?

Question

how do u do that?

Answer 1

Yes, that's what I do! I buy an eyeshadow called "Carbon" from MAC cosmetics and a thin brush they sell there too and just simply apply it along my eye line! It's great and lasts a long time! They sell it at Macy's! I totally recommend it! Good Luck!

Answer 2

There are two types of liner brushes you can use. First there is this one:

This one you use in very short strokes to get the eye shadow as close to the lashes as you can. I find this kind of brush a little more difficult to work with as you have to have patience. If you're experienced with liquid liner, you should have no problem with this type of brush.

Then there is this type:

I use this type more to dot the eyeshadow around my eyes. Being flat and stiffer than a regular eyeshadow brush, dotting around the eyes with this brush helps keep the line fine and straight. You'd brush it after dotting to blend the line so it's even.

I hope this helps...

Answer 3

Yes, you can do that, and the flat brush is amazing for drawing straight lines. Instead of dark eyeshadow, I'd recommend using a gel eyeliner. Many of the respondents here quote MAC and I agree. I use their fluidline range and find that it really stays and doesn't smudge. I also use the flat brush from their range.

Answer 4

You should use a small angled brush to apply. You can buy one from a makeup counter, like MAC. You can use any color to line you upper and lower lid. It's nice to use a light color below and a dark color above. You can apply the eyeshadow either dry or wet, depending on the look you are going for.

Answer 5

Yes you can. Apply it as you would with your kohl eyeliner, making it as close to your lash-line as possible. Sometime wetting the brush a little helps. Wait till it dries and use a bigger brush to smudge the line a little.

The result is a more natural look than using pencil/liquid eyeliner.

Answer 6

You want to use an angle brush... apply it into the lash line and smudge it in. It is pretty simple. Just make sure it gets all the way into the lash line... you can also use this http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?cm_re=S10505*Grid*P59711&id=P59711&categoryId=S10505&shouldPaginate=true
as it will help turn any shadow into a true liner.

Answer 7

eyeliner brushes work better. they are thinner and make it easier to make a thin line. also, it is easier to wet the brush and then sweep it in the shadow making a sort of liquid liner out of the shadow. hope that helps!!!!

Answer 8

you utilize a bristle eyeshadow brush for you greater eye! then you definately use a slant eyeshadow brush for making use of it tt your decrease eye!! yet once you moist the comb while making use of it to the better lids that is going to pass on extra effective without the attention shadow flicking everywhere!! wish that facilitates!!!!!

Answer 9

ya i do it all the time. i use an angular brush intsead of a flat brush that works better. i just apply it near my lashes and they blend in more nicely than pencil eyeliner.

Answer 10

Yeah, you need a eyeliner brush and a darker eyeshadow. then use the brush right above your eyelashes. it work better then eyeliner.
