Answer 1

Dear katie,

This is how you apply your eyeliner:
1.Assuming you have a steady hand (if not, try this sitting down so you can steady your arm by placing your elbow on a table),position your pencil, so it is as close to the lash-line along the eyelid as possible.

2. Then draw a line from the inner to outer corner using one fluid stroke, following the curvature of the eyelid. Do not extend the line past the outer corner of the eye or hug the tear-drop area of the eye.

3.To start, keep the line as thin as possible, and if a thicker line is desired, repeat the process either across the entire lash-line or simply on the outer third of the lid along the lashes.

4. Making the line along the eyelid a solid, even one, starting thin at the front third of the lid and becoming slightly thicker at the back third of the lid can be an attractive classic look.

5.You can line all the way across the eyelid if you like, from the inside corner to the outer edge, or you can stop the line where the lashes stop and start.

6. Along the lower lashes, line only the outer two-thirds of the eye. Make sure that the two lines meet at the back corner of the eye.

7.As a general rule, avoid lining all the way across the lower eyelashes. Leaving some space on the inside corner of the eye where the lashes end near the tear ducts gives a softer, less severe look. Plus, wrapping a complete circle of eyeliner around the eye tends to create an eyeglasses look and can make the eyeliner a stronger statement than the eye itself.

About the colour,It actually depends on your skin tone,as idont know your skin tone colour i can advise you on a general basis.

-For a classic eyeliner application, choose shades of dark brown, gray, or black eyeshadow for the upper lid and a softer shade of those—tan, taupe, chestnut, soft brown, soft gray, or soft black—along the lower lashes.
- Eyeliner is meant to give depth to the lashes and make them appear thicker.
-If the liner is a bright color or a true pastel, attention will be focused past the lashes to the colored line, as opposed to the more subtle flow of color from dark lashes to dark liner.
-Test it on yourself.
-Line one eye with a vibrant color, the other eye with brown or black, and see which one looks like it has thicker lashes.
-Then, if all my attempts to convince you have failed, and you still prefer to use bright or pastel liners, go for it.

P/S :REMEMBER TO SHARPEN YOUR EYELINER PENCIL BEFORE USE TO PREVENT BACTERIA INFECTION.

Answer 2

Try using cover girl liquid pencil.Depending on the size and shape of ur eyelid u may want to pull whatever eyelid ur doing to the side a little so it will be easier to get on and then start in the inner lid and just draw ur line across to the other end of ur eyelid. It will take practice. But the eyeliner comes off very easily even w/ just water so if u mess up take it off and try it again. I've been using it 4 about a year now and I can get it on perfect. So beleive me u can do it too. Good Luck!!

Use a very thin brush, you can specifically buy eyeliner brushes. Hold the outside corner of your skin of your lid with a finger and pull towards your ear. This will give you a straight flat surface to work with. Dip the eyeliner brush into the solution, dab it off a bit then draw and thin line on the lid, while looking in the mirror, keeping close to the eyelash base. That's it! Wa La!

Answer 4

i had issues with this, so dont worry. ive been doing it for a year though, so heres what i do.

i have one with the little paint-brush-like tip. i hold my eyelid at the outer corner and start in the middle, barely touching. go from the inside out, as close to lashes as possible. its easier to get extra on lashes than on eyelid. on lashes, mascara can fix. just go slowly as possible. i alsways go just a little further than the outer corner of my eye.

Answer 5

The most important trick is to buy a brand of liner that advertises having a "felt-tip applicator." This makes applying eyeliner infinitely easier.

Answer 6

this is something you need to practice to get the hang of. you have to have a steady hand. try to line the top of your eyelid as close to your lashline as possible. don't make a fat line. or you can try just dotting across the top of your lashline and lightly smudging with a qtip or smudgebrush. don't use too much, go slow, you can always add more.

Answer 7

easy!! i do that every week.. umm.. u hold up the upper eyelid.. apply onto ur eyelash.. (but actually on the skin.....)
