Would you like to have a well-defined line of eyeliner? Practice with liquid eyeliner which makes your lashes even thicker. This cosmetic allows you to outline the lash line even better with a smooth and precise line, the best you can get.
Steps
Step 1. Choose a liquid eyeliner
Once you have decided to use this type of make-up, you need to find the style of application that suits you best. Liquid eyeliners are sold with two types of tips: felt and brush.
- Those with a felt tip are very similar to felt tip pens, the color present in the pen body constantly wets the tip.
- Brush eyeliners are similar to nail polish; they are sold as a small bottle of color with a brush that must be dipped after each application.
Step 2. Prepare the eyelids
Eyeliner application is an intermediate step in your make-up routine that must be done after applying eyeshadow but before applying mascara. Apply a base over your lids so both eyeshadow and eyeliner will adhere better and last all day. If you have decided to use eyeshadow, put it on now and use eyeliner later.
Step 3. Get into the correct posture
The biggest problem is being able to have a steady hand that moves at a steady pace, otherwise you will get a wavy line and an uneven application. To work around this difficulty, lean your elbow on a table and your hand on your cheek as you draw the line.
If you can, hold a small mirror with your free hand instead of using the large wall mirror. This allows you to have a good view of your eyelid and the application area
Step 4. Draw a series of dots or dashes
When applying liquid eyeliner, avoid drawing a solid line, otherwise you increase the chances of getting an uneven and wavy make-up, as well as a final "tail" that is not aligned. Start with small dots or dashes above the lash line by spacing them evenly.
Step 5. Join the various points
Again, draw short lines that require a short application of the brush to create a continuous stroke across the entire eyelid. This allows you to define an even and precise line in both eyes without any lumps or areas without makeup. Don't be tempted by the idea of connecting the dots with a single continuous line, stick to the technique described above.
Step 6. Smooth the stroke
If you notice that the line breaks between one point and another, try to stabilize your hand and even out the application to achieve perfect make-up. Repeat this action to the outer canthus of the eyes and do not leave out any "empty" space along the eyelid rim.
Step 7. Add the "tail"
Regardless of the type of eyeliner you decide to use, a small tail is usually drawn on the outer edge to give the illusion of continuity in the lash line. Use your cosmetic and draw a small line that goes beyond the outer corner of the eye to the top. Close the triangle by drawing a small line from the end of the tail to the edge of the lashes and color it with eyeliner.
If you prefer a natural look, you can make a small ponytail; but if you want the classic "cat's eye" then proceed with a well extended tail
Step 8. Finish wearing your makeup
Once you've traced the eyeliner, apply mascara and all the other finishing touches that your make-up calls for. With a large, soft-bristled brush, wipe off any residue of eyeshadow or eyeliner that may have fallen on the cheekbone and under the eye. With a cotton swab dipped in cleansing milk erase any errors.
Method 1 of 1: Alternatives to Liquid Eyeliner
Step 1. Try a cream eyeliner
It's not exactly like liquid, it is applied with a brush and has the consistency of a thick paste. It allows you to create smoother and more defined lines than the eye pencil; the final effect (and application) is very similar to that of liquid eyeliner.
Step 2. Make a liquid eyeliner with the eye shadow leftovers
Believe it or not, you can create it yourself using a mix of eyeshadow powder and water. Mix the ingredients until you get a not too thick paste and use a clean eyeliner brush for application.
Step 3. Heat an eyebrow pencil
Hot elements often melt in a liquid state; you can also use this principle with make-up pencils. Use a lighter to heat the pencil until it becomes very soft. Wait 10-15 seconds and then draw the line above the lashes using this "creamy" pencil. Make sure it's not hot.
Step 4. Finished
Advice
- If you happen to touch your eye with the tip of the eyeliner, rinse it off gently and clean around well as well. If you are injured, press lightly with a warm, damp cloth on the closed eye until the pain goes away.
- Do not rush. Take your time and watch several video tutorials on YouTube.
- Liquid eyeliners guarantee you a fantastic and well-finished look, just make sure that no lumps have formed, otherwise you will not be able to get straight lines.
- Keep an eye open. Obviously what you are not wearing. It's simpler, and you'll have a nice straight line in the end.
- Use a good quality cosmetic that contains peptides. These are able to promote the growth of the eyelashes, as well as prevent them from coming off when removing makeup or applying mascara with the brush.
