Before going to bed, you should remove your makeup with makeup wipes or with a makeup remover to avoid getting pimples. Eyeliner defines the eyes by highlighting the area around it. Eyeliner can be used to contour your eyes in different ways, making it look bigger, smaller, wider, or more narrow, depending on your normal eye shape. Eyeliner comes in multiple forms: liquid pen, pencil, or a gel pot that requires additional brushes for application.

While eyeliner is generally black, you can also find eyeliner in blue, turquoise, white, and other colors. You can purchase eyeliner in your local drugstore, cosmetic store, or supermarket. It was also meant to protect people from the curse of the evil eye. While eyeliner was originally made with kohl, it was also made with materials like copper ore and antimony, so it was no surprise that people were getting sick from the galena a form of lead in the makeup.

While eyeliner is placed around the eyes, eyeshadow is applied on the eyelids and under the eyes. Eyeshadow is available in a wide range of colors, with nearly every shade in the rainbow available. We get each other. In fact, rarely do I leave the house without my requisite sleek black line applied and flicked. I might cry a little, but I think I would survive at the end of the day.

You will take my firstborn child before you take it. Just try me. These days, I can apply a sleek, perfectly even line on both of my lids in under 30 seconds—I can even apply it while driving. Thus, I have reached peak eyeliner game…or so I thought. Watching him work was like watching an artist create a masterpiece—it was mesmerizing, glorious, and so beautiful that I actually felt choked up multiple points throughout his process.

After he created an expertly flicked cat-eye with black liquid liner right along the lash line, he then proceeded to do something strange. Basically, he traces a winged-out liner on their lid first—this was the step that I had mastered and was proud of myself for accomplishing for the past decade or so.

This tip will make a world of difference—trust me. So, a few weeks ago, something within me stirred, and I finally decided to put this trick into action. Stepping back, I looked at the eye with the eyeliner applied on my top lid and waterline alongside the other eye with just the eyeliner on the top lid, and the difference was astounding.

The eye with the filled-in waterline looked so much more defined and had more depth, which is the pretty much the epoch of Asian-girl beauty goals. The more I looked, the more it seemed like the eye with only eyeliner on the top lid was strangely bare—the line was stark and glaring, and it stood out in a really unnatural way. To ensure that the liquid liner is well-mixed, you will need to shake the bottle.

Make sure that the lid is secured first and then shake the liquid liner for a few seconds. When you are ready, unscrew the cap and pull the brush out of the bottle. Start in the middle. Place the brush against your upper lash line so that it is as close as possible to your eyelashes. Then, begin applying eyeliner to your upper lash line. Move out towards the outer edge of your lash line. Fill in the gaps.

After you have finished lining the outer corner, line the inner edge of your upper lash line and connect this line up with the first line you made. Use small strokes to connect your lines and fill it out as needed so that you have one solid, even line on your upper lash line.

You can wipe away excess liner or even out a crooked edge. Follow lower lash line for a winged look. Wings are optional with liquid liner, but adding wings can intensify your look. If you want to create a winged look, then just follow the curve of your outer lash line upwards form the outer corner of your eyelid. Then, fill in the wing as needed. You can use the edge of a business card to help you create a straight line for the wing.

Just place the business card against the outer edge of your eyelid at an angle and trace along the edge with the liquid liner.

Place some tape on your lower lash line so that it is at an angle. The tape should be right up against the outer edge of your lower lash line and extending up towards your eyebrow. Tape both sides before you apply the liner to ensure an even application. You can tilt the tape as much or as little as you want, but keep in mind that more tilt will look more dramatic.

If you want a less dramatic look, reduce the amount of tilt in your tape. Method 3. Sharpen or dull your liner pencil if necessary. The sharpness of your eyeliner pencil will affect the way that the eyeliner looks. You can create a precise, thin line by sharpening your pencil, or you can create a more rounded, thick line by dulling the pencil. To sharpen the pencil, use an eyeliner pencil sharpener to make the pencil as sharp as you want it to be. To dull the pencil, gently rub the tip of the pencil on a tissue until it is to the desired level of dullness.

Prepare your liner pencil. To ensure that your pencil liner goes on smoothly, it helps to get it to the right temperature. If your liner feels hard, then you might want to warm it up.

If it feels soft, then you might want to cool it down. A cooler pencil will provide a softer, lighter application. A warm pencil, which will be soft, will provide a darker, more pigmented look.

To warm up your liner, turn on your hair dryer on its highest setting and aim it at your eyeliner for a few seconds. This will soften up the liner enough to give it a gel-like consistency. Then, test the liner on your wrist before you apply it to your eye.

To cool down your liner, try placing it in the freezer for about 10 minutes before you apply it. This will help to prevent the pencil eyeliner from crumbling. Hold the outer corner of your eyelid. Place your fingers on the outer edge of your upper lash line and pull outwards gently so that the eyelid is taut. This will help to ensure that you create a straight even line along your upper lash line.

You may also want to close your eyelid as you pull it taut. Raise your eyebrows so that your eyelid does not block your lash line at all. It may also be helpful to rest your elbow on a table or countertop to keep your hand steady. Start at the inner corner and work across. Begin lining the inner corner of your eyelid and move towards the outer edge of your eyelid. Make sure that you go slowly and use short strokes to create an even line.

If you want to make your eyes look bigger and more open, then you may consider applying a lighter color just to the inner corner of your upper lash line. Use an angled brush for blending if you are combining more than one color. Consider tight lining for a more natural look. If you want a really natural look, then you might consider tight lining your eyes.

To tight line your eyes, only apply the eyeliner to the spaces between your lashes on your upper lid. For an even more natural look, try tight lining your eyes with a neutral shade, such as light brown. Line your lower lash line. If you decide to line your lower lid, place a finger on the outer edge of your lower lid and pull it taut. Then, begin applying liner using short strokes, just as you did with the top lid.

Line the entire bottom lash line for a dramatic look. Lining the entire lower lash line along with your upper lash line will make your eyes look even more dramatic, though it will also make them look smaller. Line just the outer half of the lower lash line for a more subtle look.
