How to Apply Eyeliner

Choose an eyeliner. There are several factors to consider when you are choosing an eyeliner - what color, texture, and mode of application do you want? Eyeliner typically comes in either a pencil, cream, or liquid application form. As far as colors go though, the sky is the limit. If you have blonde hair, consider using a brown eyeliner for everyday wear. If you have dark hair, use black eyeliner on a regular basis. For the smoothest, finest line use a cream eyeliner (applied with an eyeliner brush) or a liquid eyeliner. These are the easiest to control and apply close to the lashline. If you want a smudgy, blurred effect, use an eyeliner pencil. These tend to be a bit chunkier and apply thicker lines than cream or liquid eyeliners. They can be easily smudged using your fingertip, angled brush, or a q-tip. If you don’t happen to have eyeliner on hand, you can use any powdered eyeshadow mixed with a few drops of water and and eyeliner brush. This won’t have the same long-lasting effects as a traditional eyeliner, but it is a cheap and easy alternative. As much as your wallet may disagree, using nicer, more expensive eyeliners does significantly improve the color and duration of your eyeliner. Instead of immediately grabbing the 99 cent sale pencil at the drugstore, look at reviews for the top eyeliner brands online before making your purchase.

If you don't have a steady hand, bend down or sit down so you can place your elbow on a table or counter for balance and control. Some makeup artists suggest dotting eyeliner along the base of your lashes followed by connecting the dots; others prefer to use one fluid stroke, following the curvature of the eye and extending ever-so-slightly past the outer corner (we're not talking obvious winged liner!). Both methods can provide beautiful results and can be combined for an even more dramatic look. Ultimately, you'll want to use the application method that's most comfortable for you.
