How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner

Great Day! With liquid eyeliner, there is never a need to use a sharpener!

Prepare your eyelid by applying eye primer and eyeshadow. It is much easier to apply liquid eyeliner correctly when there is already a cosmetic base because it creates a smooth surface.

Select the color of your liquid eyeliner. Liquid eyeliner's purpose is to create fullness and thickness in the eyelashes, so choose the same color as the mascara you plan to use for a more natural look.


Steady your hand and gently lay the tip of the felt applicator onto your upper eyelid at the base of your eyelashes. Move along your lash line slowly, creating a smooth line. Do not pull your skin because when it relaxes, you will not have a smooth line.


Line your upper lid as close to the lash line as possible, using small, short strokes. Since you may have an unsteady hand or your brush may tickle your lashes, causing you to blink, its best not to attempt to make one long line with your brush when first learning how to apply the liner. Some people line their eyelids with their eyes open, while others apply the liner while their eyes are closed -- it simply depends on which way is more comfortable for you.

If the line tends to look irregular, simply correct any mistakes with some eye makeup remover on a cotton swab. If using the applicator is still difficult for you after several practice sessions, you may want to try an eyeliner brush to apply your liquid eyeliner.

GOLD RUSH BEAUTY

Great Day!

If You Love Makeup & Beauty Readers...

I'm so excited to tell you about the hottest eye color this season. Get excited it's Gold!

Sometimes the most spectacular makeup looks use only one shadow and a little imagination... Once the face is entirely made up, and above all, you've applied concealer around the eye, follow these steps:

Apply the Gold Shadow over the entire lid, blending lightly into the inner corners of the eye. If you want, increase the intensity by adding a second layer of eyeshadow. Leave the browbone clean; it isn't always necessary to use a lighter-colored eyeshadow in this area. Many times the concealer that you applied to the area can serve as a highlighter.

Next, use black eyeliner this is the part that you have to practice, but it's easy. Line your eyes at the roots of your lower eyelashes with a well-sharpened eye pencil. Follow the same procedure on your upper eyelashes, paying special attention to draw a straight line at the inner corner of your eye.

Beginning at your tear duct, draw a thin line, then thicken it at the center of the eye, and then taper it back down at the outer corners. Leave the inner rim of your eyelid without makeup to make your eyes look bigger.


Finally, apply two coats of mascara. Apply the first coat, wait until it dries, then apply the second coat.

Now all you need to do is practice :-) Until next time...Have a wonderful day!
