Eyeliner can be used to add the dramatic touch to your face or soften the look of your eyes and must be used, keeping the color of eyes and the eyeshadow that you use in mind. Apply eyeliner as close as possible and even into the lashes to avoid the white line you sometimes get when liner and lashes don't connect. Pencil eyeliners tend to be quite popular because they are easier to control and also can give the look that you want to achieve. Liquid eyeliners on the other hand require more practice. They create precise lines once applied with enough control.

Tips on how to apply Eyeliner in three easy steps

  1. Select a light color base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line.
  2. To apply eyeshadow: Use a long handled brush and use your hand or a cuff to hold it. Watch out for dark colors because they can can end up looking too theatrical.
  3. Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.
  4. Then blend eye shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger'you could wipe off the shadow entirely.
  5. High quality powder eyeshadows can be used wet for heavier application by dampening your applicator a little.
  6. Lighter shadows help the bigger while darker shades make them look smaller. For bigger eyes, sweep a light shade over lid and darker shade on the outer corner of the lid and the crease. Outline the eyes using the eyeliner on the outer side of upper and lower lids while tapering a bit on the outside the eye to elongate it. Dab a white or cream shadow in the middle of the brow bone as a last step.
  7. Use a cosmetic puff and a little pressed powder to tone down heavy shadow. Shake any excess powder off the puff, then press it gently on your lid.
  8. To add definition to your eyelids, apply a medium-toned shade across the lid and brow bone and dust the under brow area with a light highlighter shade. Use a very fine pencil liner of natural color to line the upper and lower lash lines.

Eyeliner Application Tips

  • When using an eye pencil, open your mouth slightly to relax the eye muscles. It will make lining a lot easier without having to pull or tug at your lid.

  • Apply eyeliner as close as possible and even into the lashes to avoid the white line you sometimes get when liner and lashes don't connect.

  • DO NOT put on mounds of eyeliner because you will look like a raccoon about three hours later.
