Are you new to makeup? Struggling with eye makeup? Don't worry, apply these super simple beginner eyeliner tips!
Which step do you find the most challenging while doing makeup? Many women find the eye makeup, especially eyeliner, the trickiest. These beginner eyeliner tips below will help you become more skilled at drawing.
Following these 15 tips below will make your eyeliner lines smoother and save you a lot of time.
First, you need to choose the type of eyeliner that's easiest for you to use! There are 3 types of eyeliner pens:
- Pencil type: this type is easy to apply, but sometimes it's not as smooth and bold as gel and liquid types
- Gel type: bold color and glides easily on the skin
- Liquid type: used with high precision, but it takes a bit of time for the liquid to dry
1. Enhance the appearance of larger eyes
Line the inner upper and lower lash lines to make the eyes look bigger and more beautiful. Use a waterproof type to avoid smudging. You can notice the difference between lining and not lining the inner lash line. Do the same for the lower lashes.
2. Use powder to correct uneven eyeliner lines
If your eyeliner lines are not perfectly straight, you don't need to try to fix them. Just use a bit of black powder to cover them up.
3. Use a blending brush
Use a blending brush to blend out your eyeliner if it's too intense. This way, you'll get a much smoother eyeliner line than before.
4. Use a cotton swab
If you can't apply eyeliner skillfully and it always smudges, don't worry, just use a cotton swab dipped in a bit of moisturizing balm to touch up.
5. Use concealer
You can use concealer to cover up smudged eyeliner. You don't need to remove and redraw everything from scratch!
6. Draw dashed lines
If you're not confident in drawing a straight line, draw dashed lines and then connect them together.
7. Dot for precision
If you're using liquid eyeliner, dot it in small dots first and then connect them, similar to when using gel or pencil liners!
8. Avoid pulling the eyelid
Don't pull your eyelid while applying eyeliner as it will make it harder to achieve. Just draw as usual, if it smudges onto the skin, use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to wipe it off.
9. Line from outside in
When drawing the tail of your eyeliner, tilt the pen, then touch it to the skin and start drawing a line from the outside in, this way your line will look much nicer.
10. Use an eyelash curler
This method saves you a lot of time, simply use an eyelash curler to apply eyeliner onto the curler then curl. You will achieve the result shown below:
11. Use setting powder
To prevent eyeliner from sticking to the upper eyelid, apply a layer of transparent setting powder for your eyes!
12. Stabilize your hand
Leaving your hand suspended in the air can make your hand shaky and difficult to draw. Stabilize your elbow on the table to keep it steady and draw without shaking.
