Using liquid eyeliner can be daunting, but it is such a gorgeous, glamorous look. Practice using these tips and you will soon be applying eyeliner like a pro:
1) Apply the liner with your eyes open and use it on the upper lid only.
2) Tilt your head back about 30 degrees and look at the mirror. You might want to rest your elbow on a table to stabilize your arm. Pull your lid away from your eye very gently using one or two fingers, then apply eyeliner from the inner corner to the outer, getting as close to the lash line as possible.
3) Try using short, feathery strokes if one solid line is too hard to start. You can always go back and fill in the dots.
Using pencil:
Start from the outside and draw towards the inner corner, as you tend to apply more pressure from the start and the outer corner should have a thicker line.
Using gel:
1) As gel liners dry fast, you must act fast.
2) Use a slanted brush or flat-tip brush.
3) After dipping into the eyeliner, dab off the excess.
4) When applying eyeliner, avoid excess dragging to get a clean line.
To note: Keep plenty of cotton buds and eye make-up remover on hand to correct mistakes.
There are many ways to make your eyes look bigger. Lining the inner rims with a white pencil is a tried and true method of really making them appear wider and brighter. Lashes are the next stop - they are a great eye opener. Before applying mascara, make sure you give them a good curl from the base to the tip. It is also better to keep eye-shadow light and sheer. Avoid dark shades as they will cause your eyes to recede and appear smaller. Highlight the brow bone and add a soft wash of color to the lid.
