Applying Eyeliner:
Application Tips & Techniques for How to Get an Easy, Everyday

Defining Look

Eyeliner is the bane of existence for many a beauty conscious
woman. There is a distinct trick to the art of applying eye-
liners in such a manner as to not end up with that permanently

surprised look which may be somewhat disconcerting to those
with whom you converse. Some have taken to the application of
liquid eyeliner only to find that they end up with black
smudges in the creases underneath their eyes.

Fortunately, tips and techniques for the successful application
of eye liner abound, and if you follow just a few of them, you
will give your eyes that beautiful appearance which can set the
tone for the mood you are seeking to evoke.

Fun Looks and Styles

The how to of eyeliner application begins with a consideration
of the look for which you are aiming. There are several fun
ways of defining your appearance before you put on that first
stroke of the eyeliner. Will you be going for the gothic look?
Are you hoping to achieve that glamorous movie star look?
Perhaps you are simply aiming for an enhanced natural look to

showcase the beauty that is yours.

Liquid, Gel, or Loose Powder Application

After the definition of the look, the choice of eyeliner
pencil is the next consideration. To apply eyeliner, a thin
and sometimes hard pencil it utilized, but this does not
permit for easy application once the skin underneath your eyes
has lost some of its teenage firmness. Waterproof gel or loose
powder eye makeup is another option, but they require a steady
hand. A happy medium is a soft consistency eyeliner pen from
Cake, Estee Lauder, Christian Dior, Bobby Brown or Mac.

Color Choices: Black, White, Glitter?..

Next, chose your colors wisely, white might be great to make a

dramatic contrast to dark skin or add little designs to your

eyelids, but if you are going for an organic, natural look,
you may opt for something that is just a shade darker than
your eyelashes. Enhancements, such as glitter and eye shadow

matching styles are also available, yet they will draw a lot
of attention to your eyes and detract from other parts of your

appearance, such as a great haircut or lip liner. Make sure
you do not overdo the drama of your eyes and then have it
compete with the dramatic shape enhancement of your lip liner!

Eyeliner Designs & Techniques

The best eyeliner technique for lasting effect is to
complement your eye?s shape but slightly enhance it. For
example, make a fine line that just slightly extends beyond
the corner of your lower lid to get the coveted cat?s eye

appearance. Use white eyeliner on the inner rim of your
lashes for a more open and alert look. Remove eyeliner that
spread beyond its intended locale with a q-tip dipped in a bit
of eye makeup remover. Do not cover it up with powder since
the color will come to the forefront in a short period of time.
