Eyeliner
Eyeliner is a great way to create definition and interest to the eye. There are many different ways to wear eyeliner whether it be for day or night time looks. Eyeliners come in many different colors, textures and price points.
One of the most basic ways to wear eyeliner is on the top lash line. This helps to make your lashes look fuller while adding a bit of highlighting. The best type of eyeliner to use is a crayon because it is fairly forgiving and goes on gently. When applying the eyeliner gently pull the lid and draw the line as close to the lashes as possible. After you have done this you can go over the line again to make it fuller or thicker. There is room for play because you can smudge the line or can make it very precise depending on what type of look you are going for. When applying eyeliner make sure that you have makeup remover and q-tips to help you correct any mistakes. Eyeliner can also be worn in order to make it look like you are well-rested even if you have barely slept a wink. If you apply a beige or skin colored eyeliner to the inner part of your lower eyelid you will get rid of the red-rimmed eye look.
Many women do not bother to line their upper inner lash line because they figure it is difficult or doesn’t make that much of a difference. This is untrue. Many of today’s popular makeup looks use this look to create beautiful eyes. Applying black liner to your inner eye rim can help to define and give the eyes a bright look. This is also a more subtle way to draw attention to the eyes than using lash liner. To apply, simply lift up the upper lid and apply the pencil through gentle small strokes. Colored eyeliner looks great if you are trying to make a statement with your eye makeup. It can be worn on the top or bottom using a long wear pencil or a liquid liner. L’Oreal Voluminous Mistake-Proof Marker Eyeliner wears for 8 hours while remaining in place. It retails at most drugstores for under $14. Liquid liner can be difficult to apply so you may want to begin with a pencil until you have perfected your application process. You can also use a shadow in a complementary shade to create a uniform look. An example of this would be wearing a lighter green shadow pulled together with a deep green liner. Black eyeliner can also be worn with this look to make the lash line look fuller while adding a pop of color.
Liner can also be a wonderful tool in creating dramatic eyes including the smoky look. To achieve this look you will need to invest in a black eye crayon, a black liquid liner and an angled brush. Using your eye crayon you will first want to line the top of your upper lash line. Revlon Luxurious Color Smoky Crayon glides on easily for expert lining. After this you will want to line the bottom of your eyelid on your lower lash line. The line you use her should be narrower on the bottom because you are going to gently smudge the line to be thicker with your angled brush. Using a tiny stroke you are going to want to connect the top and bottom line; you will then gently smudge this line as well to avoid a sharp look. If you want a more dramatic smoky eye that will wear all night you will also use a black waterproof liquid liner. Maybelline Line Stilleto Utimate Precision Liquid Eyeliner goes on smoothly allowing for beautifully defined eyes. Once you have finished using your crayon liner you will need to apply short little strokes of the liquid liner over top. This will give you long lasting smudge-proof smoky eyes.
Now that you know what eye liners to look for and how to wear them you can experiment with your eye look.
