How to Using liquid eyeliner

Queition:I want to use liquid eyeliner to get the sultry, smouldering look that's so popular this season, but I'm afraid I'll go overboard and end up looking like a raccoon. Any advice?

How to Using liquid eyeliner 1

Answer:Of course. Many women find themselves at a loss when it comes to using liquid liner. It's not as hard as you might think, though - it's just a matter of using the right tools and mastering a few simple techniques.

  • When it comes to wearing shadow with this look, it's usually a good idea to keep its colour soft and neutral. Try using a light cream shadow all over the lid and a warmer taupe in the crease. Your eyes will have warmth and definition without looking overdone.
  • The right tool is essential in achieving the heavily lined look. For liquid liner you want to use a point liner brush. This tiny, precision brush will allow you to draw a clean, even line. Many women close their eyes when applying liner, which leads to a bumpy uneven line. Instead, keep your eye open. This will make it easier to follow the contour of your lashline.
  • When using liner don't feel like you have to paint one continuous line. One easy technique involves drawing three dashes - one at the inner corner, one in the middle of the lash line and another at the outer corner. Then, go back and connect the dashes. For the thick Audrey Hepburn look, fill in your liner slowly. After you've established a clean base line, start the brush at the middle of your lashes and slowly build up the outer line, extending the liner slightly out and just beyond the eye.
  • A fun way to add even more drama to this look is by using false eyelash singles. These tiny individual lashes can be glued to the outer corner of the top lashline for a great 'doe-eyed' effect.

Don't be afraid of making mistakes with liquid liner. After all, practice makes perfect. However, if your liner does go astray, a little water or eye make-up remover on a cotton bud will correct the problem. Good luck.
