How to Wear Eyeliner

When it comes to makeup, the part I just love is the eye makeup, especially the smoky one! I don't know why but I guess it suits me and looks killer! Honestly, what I would prefer is a charcoal line and a black eyeshadow. Just perfect! Yeah, it looks cool, but I am not really the eyeliner kinda as I have never really used it that often and I have a tough time applying it. And so do many of you, if I am not mistaken! Well, there we try to solve all your doubts on this eye makeup and help you through the process.

Those of you, used to wearing eyeliner on a regular basis won't find it a big deal however, applying eyeliner needs practice. Once you get used to it, it is as simple as applying charcoal pencil, trust me.

1. Let me tell you, keep an eyeshadow handy since the blend of both looks awesome. Wash your face and eyes in particular neatly and dry them. Initially, apply the eyeshadow to both your eyes.
2. Once you are done with the eyeshadowing, be ready with the eyeliner of your choice. Here, many people prefer eyeliner pencil over liquid eyeliner however, the technique of applying is almost the same for both.
3. While using pencil, be sure the tip is pointed and thin and then hold it in your dominant hand. Stand in front of the mirror, close one eye and make a line just above your eyelashes, in the outward direction. Make several such lines according to the thickness you choose. You could apply it to the bottom lid as well, just a thin line though.

The liquid eyeliner, on the other hand, requires a bit of skill. Use a pointed and soft brush to apply the same. Do not apply in one go. Instead, apply in 3 strokes, inner, middle and outer corner separately and then join the three. You could thicken the outer corner so as to give a smoky and dark sort of look. Go about the entire process with your eyes open. This allows the liquid eyeliner to blend well. Let it dry for sometime. You are done! Well, now you know how to apply liquid eyeliner, don't you?

Advice and Tips

• Use the pencil eyeliner in conjunction with the liquid eyeliners that stay on wherein you can mark the line with the pencil and then thicken it using the liquid eyeliner. It becomes easier this way.

• How to put on eyeliner smoothly? Well, while using the pencil, soften it with the help of hot water or hold the tip on the flame for few seconds for easy application.
• While going about the process, keep an eyeliner remover and cotton swabs with you in case you make any mistake.
