Re: Tips for Eyeliner ?

My brush aint by MAC but this kind of a angle brush works best for me when it comes to applying eyeliner …

I do also prefer having these kind of liquid eyeliners who have that brush applicator for a really smooth application. My one aint by MAC but my sis uses this one and just loves it …

^ ohh thanx and is it easily available in stores?

Here are some tips that I found on this website : Eyeliner Advice and Tips

How To Apply Eyeliner

1. Liquid eyeliner should only be used above the top lashes. It is best to use a pencil or eyeshadow under the lower lashes. For a more dramatic look, use a colored kohl pencil above and below lashes and follow with a black liquid liner on the top. It will make your lashes appear darker and will stay on all day. A dark eye-liner highlights the shape of your eyes and deepens the look. Softly line with eyeliner pencil, draw a thin line along lashes next to roots.

For a dramatic look, lightly dot color along the lower lashes. For softness, line can be smudged with fingertip or Q-tip.

------------------------------

2. Eyeliner should be applied close to the base of the eyelashes. Products vary from cake to liquid liner to pencil. Practice makes perfect in achieving a fine line. Hold your head back and look down into the mirror. The eyelid will be tight and it will be easier to apply the liner. Smudge if necessary.

3.
Don´t apply eyeliner in a thick line. It looks harsh and makes the eye appear heavy and tired. Get out of the 60´s and instead use a fine line. If you have trouble, use a brush to blend and smooth it out.

**------------------------------

  1. By using a line under the lower lashes gives the ill usion of making the eyes appear larger. Instead of using a pencil, try using a small makeup brush with a dark eyeshadow. Apply into the lashes to make the lashes appear darker. Below this line apply a highlighter eyeshadow (in white, beige or yellow) in a fine line with a cleansed small brush. This will brighten the eye area.

5.** There are pencil eyeliners, liquid eyeliner, and cake eyeliners. Pencil liners can be used above top lashes and under lower lashes. Liquid liners should only be used on the top lid. Cake eyeliners are used with water and can be used both top and bottom.
** ------------------------------**

6. A smoky violet pencil looks best for someone with green eyes. On the color wheel, green and violet are opposite, and so they look well together. Also, look at nature when deciding on a color palette. Green, burnt orange and beige can be found in a field of autumn colors.

------------------------------

**7. **If you want to use the same liner pencil for eyes and lips I would recommend using an eyeliner pencil. Then you know this is safe for the eyes. Choose a shade that is a red-brown or a plum-brown. Then it will compliment your lipstick.

**8. **A liquid eyeliner or a cake eyeliner that you use with a fine brush will stay on the best. If you don´t feel adept at using these, pencils work well also. Pencils can be smudged for a subtle look. Always hold your head back, look down into the mirror, and apply your eyeliner. This will keep your eyelid skin tight and you can make a smooth line.

ya ... where else .. :D ...
the pictures i have posted, those are by MAC .. but the brush is available by any brand like bobbi brown, benefit, estee lauder etc. but they dun have to be branded even no name brushes are available in drugstores ( dun know if they are as good as the branded ones ) try the cheap one first ... maybe it works good for u .. good things dont have to be branded sometimes ..

and the liquid eyeliner should be available in any drugstore .. a lot of make up brands do have them too , dont has to be MAC ... though the MAC one is really fab and intense

I like to make my eyeliner thick n long. I mean I can do it neatly so it looks good. I get a lot of ppl asking me to teach them but I honestly cant teach anyone…I can only do it on myself. It never comes out as good on others.

Here’s a pic of my eyeliner..sorry its a lil small but I only wanted to post my eye so I cut it off of the original pic :D.

hope u like it :slight_smile:
