How
To Apply
Eyeliner
In this
article we take a look at how to
apply eyeliner with some tips on
achieving some great effects.
One
stunning effect that can be
achieved easily and a favorite of
such well-known actresses from
Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn
Monroe to Gwyneth Paltrow, is
rimming the eyes with either a
white or beige eye pencil. This
has the effect of enlarging the
white of the eye to create a
seductive, alluring look.
To apply
the eye pencil, pull your lid
away from the eye very gently
using one or two fingers and draw
a line along the inner eye rims.
Do the same with both the upper
and lower lids. To make a
sharpened pencil softer and
easier to apply, you can draw a
few lines first on the back of
your hand. This will soften the
tip and get the color flowing.
Kohl can be
applied in the same way with
sensational effect. The use of
kohl goes back to ancient
Egyptian times and is
characteristic of eye makeup in
the Middle and Far East.
Apply your
kohl pencil as described above to
both the upper and lower rims,
from corner to corner. Then,
using either a sponge-tipped
applicator, eyeshadow brush, or
even your fingertip, blend the
color by smudging it to create a
smoky effect.

Once
you are satisfied with
the appearance, you will
need to set it by using
a light application of
loose powder.
For
an even stronger, more
intense effect, apply
your preferred color
around the eyes in
either cream, liquid or
powder form.
If
you want to use liquid
eyeliner, once
you’ve mastered the
technique of applying
it, this can be a quick
method of achieving a
stunning and
sophisticated look.
But
applying liquid eyeliner
can take a little
practice.
|
To begin,
it’s best to be in front of
a good magnifying mirror, so that
your eyes are magnified
sufficiently to see very clearly
what you are about to do and
ensure a smooth application of
the liquid eyeliner.
Then, using
your free hand, start by pulling
the eyelid taut. If you’re
right-handed it’s probably
easiest for you to start applying
the liquid from left-to-right, as
if you are writing, and vice
versa if you are left-handed.
Draw across
in a single continuous fine line.
If you want a thicker line then,
at the end of the run, simply
retrace.
A tip when
applying liquid eyeliner is to
apply it as close as possible to
the eyelashes, even running into
the eyelashes. This will avoid
you getting that annoying white
line effect between the lashes
and the liner when the two
don’t meet.
Applying
liquid eyeliner does take some
practice, so have a bottle of
makeup remover to hand until you
are confident in the technique.
As they
say: “practice makes
perfect”, and with a
little perseverance and a steady
hand you’ll soon be
achieving some great effects.
