How do you apply eyeliner?

Answer 1

Eyeliner makes your eyes stand out by defining them and accentuating their shape. Whether you choose a soft line or a dramatic stroke, you can embellish the windows to your soul by spending just a few minutes in front of a mirror with an eyeliner pencil.



1.Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy and charcoal accent light eyes well, while black, navy and plum shades flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.



2.Consider the type of look you're after. Pencil eyeliner gives your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision and drama. You can also moisten dark eye shadow and apply it with a small, flat brush.


3.Prepare to apply the eyeliner.
If you are using a pencil, sharpen it (see Warnings). Warm and soften the very tip of the pencil by heating it with a hot zap from a hair dryer. This will help it write smoother.
A liquid liner should be checked for clumps or excess.
Prepare a cake liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small amount of water (usually one or two drops) to your brush. Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow. Hold the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.

4.Rest the elbow of your dominant arm on a hard surface, and rest your wrist on your face.

Good Luck :)

Answer 2

Above the bottom lashes (called the liquid line) is better suited for an eye kohl. Rather, use the kohl there and then use eyeliner under your bottom lashes.

Answer 3

From the middle of the eye going outward, easy on the movement so it doesnt smudge or be curvy. If you tend to have oily eyelids, make sure you have powdered it dry before you put on the liner.

Answer 4

put it ONLY on top, not bottom!!

KEY POINT: OUTSIDE in - Sharpen pencils or dab liquid eyeliner before applying so if you mess up too bad, you do not have to remove any!

Answer 5

you look up and use the pencil to draw around rather the inside of the eye (on the rim thing) or you can do it under the section where the eyelashes come out. good luck.

Answer 6

Just blend it into your lashline on the top lid and if u wanna do the bottom lid, do it right where the eye starts.

very carefully! please don't go overboard and look like your ready to go to a Halloween party. Just take your time start with a thin line and step back and look at yourself. If it's not enough go over it again!
