Eyeliner
Eyeliner may or may not be important for you, but it is one of the most essential steps of doing your eye makeup. It gives you the privilege to work on the shape of your eyes, accentuate them and fill in any scanty looking lashes. Let’s take a quick look at some of the tips and techniques for this step.
- Make sure your eyelids are clean and then put on a primer on them, so that the eye makeup doesn’t smudge and stays on for longer.
- Apply the eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible, that ways it would not only appear to be a part of your natural lash line but would also make your eyelashes look denser.
- Ensure that the tip of your liner is thin but blunt to get the perfect shape. You can also freeze your eyeliner before sharpening to keep it from breaking.
- To attain the perfect winged eyeliner, use a liquid liner – start on the lash line at the pupil and work your way towards the corners. If you don’t have a steady hand for liquid liner then its best to first line your eyes with a pencil liner, then apply your liquid liner over it.
- For that killer smoky eye look, go for a pencil liner as its tend to be softer and creamier. You can even smudge it out using a smudging brush for that cool smoky eye.
- Go for more sophisticated colors like brown for a classic look and apply mascara to complement the simple look.

- The way you hold your mascara matters! Hold your wand horizontally for thicker lashes and vertically (especially for the lower lashes) for a more natural look.
