Makeup - how do i use liquid eyeliner?

And any other tips? i dont know anything about makeup hahaMakeup - how do i use liquid eyeliner?
Ok so liquid is the hardest to apply but has a great effect. so here is two ways to apply it.


This is the way I use-


so i start off by drawing a guide line with pencil eyeliner from one tear duct to the other (only above the eye because this is where liquid is normally applied). then I apply liquid over that, make sure you have a steady hand because it takes a lot of practice. finally flick it out gently at the outer edge. apply pencil at the bottom on the water line.


Another way people use is more common but takes more skill. First with a steady hand you apply the liquid eyeliner to the top of the eye in the same place as before gently flicking it out at the end. This takes more skill because you have no guide line. Next you apply liquid underneath the eye in a thin line (make sure it is thin and is not on the water line but under your lashes or it can irritate the eye) again gently join this to the flick you made when you did the top of the eye.

Liquid eyeliner is tricky and takes some practice but I wear it all the time. You need to pull out your eyelid so its flat and apply the eyeliner as close to your eyelash as possible. Let go of your lid and make sure it looks ok. It needs to go from corner to corner and make sure its even and there are no gaps between the lash.





For eyeshadow, close your eye. Get a lighter color and put it on first, I like a light brown, then a darker shade darker brown and put it on the outside corner and blend in with a small eye brush and you can even use your finger.





Apply mascara and your good to go.
Rest your arm on a table or desk, with an eye pencil draw a very fine line as close to your eyelashes as you can then follow this up with a liquid eyeliner. Keep doing this till you get plenty of practice. Also invest in a good eyeliner brush if you can. Best ones are Bobbi Brown and Mac and Laura Mercier's Smoky Eyeliner Brush - although a little expensive but worth it in the long run.
OMG this took me forever to master lol cuz i have a shaky hand but Youtube helped me a LOT. they have some great tutorials. also, what really made a difference was the liquid eyeliner i used. at first i used one with a brush tip which was flimsy, harder to control and didn't make a sharp line when i was trying to wing it out. i got l'oreal carbon black lineur intense liquid eyeliner with a felt tip and it's AWESOME. i used it today to get a winged look and it's soo easy. i heard the revlon colorstay is good too. hope i helped!=]
Liquid eyeliner goes across the bottom of your eyelid...where your eyelashes start, just make sure you have a steady hand and draw a line all the way across. Have a facial wipe to hand to wipe of smudges before they dry. Also it sometimes looks good if as your coming to the end of your eye lid (side furthest from your nose) you keep drawing the line a little to create a ';flick out'; at the side of your eye, looks cool, dont make it too long tho across your face or you will look stupid.
VERY carefully. Make a line exactly where your lashes are. Then do not open til they're dry or it's smears.





GEL is best or eye shadow, with either you can use a shadow sponge to do it........
