How do you put eye liner on?

Question

i cant put eye liner on worth a crap and i need some tips on how do to it so please help.

Answer 1

use an eyeliner crayon instead of a pencil or liquid..wet a cue tip( not soaking just a little wet) and lightly run it across the liner to even it out..if you want it to be smokey..put on the eyeliner ( crayon) and put on dark eye shadow above and over it with a little brush not an eyeshadow sponge

Answer 2

Depends on the look your going for, if you want your eyeliner to stand out (which often can make eyes look smaller) then you should apply it after your eyeshadow. Doing it in reverse you can make the lining look more subtle/blend it in with your eyeshadow (depending on colors). As for your eyes looking smaller a lot of factors go into the perfect eye lining. Thickness, colour being very important. Watch the thickness at the inner corners of your eye, this area should be thin and along the lash line growing in thickness towards the outer corners. Your bottom lash line should be quiet thin but the same concept.

Answer 3

Start out using a pencil. It seems many ladies have a very hard time applying liquid liner.

Make sure it is fairly sharp so it goes on thin. If you need to, pull the edge of your eye to define the line. This can become a bad habit, it will form wrinkles late in life I hear!

Find some girls who apply it the way you like, and ask them what they do. It would be easier to be shown than to try to explain how to do it.

Most important, practice a lot and don't give up!

Answer 4

look in the mirror when you put eye liner, if your hand starts to shake put your finger in your eye to reasure yourself that you wont poke it...sometimes it happends because of fear( example : when you keep blinking). Put eye liner were is light so you can see everything, and if you mess up, use a Q-tip to clean up. i always find it easier to use a pencil liner than the liquid eye liner.

Answer 5

It's Can't NOT cant

Eye liner is very hard to put on..It's actually an art. you have to practice a lot before you can master it.

I wear liquid eye liner, but I have mastered it. You have to have a steady hand and when you put it on do it fast and don't stop...

Answer 6

Put eyeliner on 2/3 of the top lid, and 1/3 of the lower.
Use a color opposite your eye color to make your eyes stand out.
