Here’s How To Put On Eyeliner Like A Pro

Did you know, with eyeliner you can change the shape of your eyes?! An illusion of small to big or big to small can be done when you know how to put on eyeliner the right way. Waterlining or tight lining is the key here, which is done with the help of waterproof pencils that rim the eyes on the top lash line only.

1. Dramatic Looks

For a dramatic look, rim the top lash line with waterproof kohl and focus on culminating at the inner part of the edge of the eyelids.

2. Want Cat Eyes?

Use scotch tape stencils to do your eyeliner, which would help form a triangle on the eyes outer corner, and underneath your eyes. Geometry at its best, you now can start filling the portions inside. Focus more on the outer corner and the outer tip of your eyelids for the perfect cat eye look.

3. Straight Lining

One more obstacle on how to apply eyeliner would be getting the straight lining for the lids done. If you have a thin piece of cardboard, a business card for example, use it. This helps keep the line straight, clear and crisp.

4. Fed Up Of The Smudges

Who isn’t, and this is why when learning how to put on eyeliner, you should have a quick-dry concealer handy and ready. Even if you are using a pencil, it would take time for the kohl to set, and that is when the risk of smudging happens. Use translucent powder or concealer on the lids first and then apply the kohl- this act absorbs the pencil kohl or liquid liner faster.
