How to apply liquid eyeliner- tutorial for beginners
An opaque liquid used to line the lash line of your eyes is called a liquid eyeliner. The application of a liquid eyeliner often seems like a simple task but, as you pick the brush and begin the process, the hurdles seem pretty clear. A shivering hand and a wrinkled lash line which need to be defined to add to its physical beauty is as scary as it can get especially if you are a beginner. So, lets ease this process for you and help you enhance the beauty of your eyes by providing them a well-defined application of the liquid eyeliner.
So, the first and foremost thing before you start the process of application of any beauty product is to keep your face clean, washed and hydrated. After your face has been cleansed you can simply follow the steps mentioned below for a perfect application of the liquid liner:
1) Use of Primer
Choose the product according to your skin type, also to make the liner last longer use a primer which will help in preparing your eyelids for the application of the eye liner and will also help the eye liner to stay put for a longer period of time.
After this select your liner, as liquid liners come in two variants, which are
- a) Felt tip eye liners: Those liners which look like markers and the liquid is filled in their refill.
- b) Brush eye liners: The liners which have a liquid content along with an applicator brush which is attached to the cap of the container containing the liquid.
You can chose the product, which you will be more comfortable in using and if not sure then as a beginner try both to find the one best suited to your way of application. Also, try and pick the product which is smudge proof and water proof to avoid any mess.
2) Bring your hands in control
For beginners the first thing that needs to be brought under control are shivering or shaky hands. As this will make the line uneven and messy which instead of adding to your appeal will make your eyes look dull and unattractive. The best advice to avoid this is to rest your elbow on a hard surface for the first few attempts. This helps in providing some balance and reduces the shakiness to a certain extent.
3) How to hold the Brush
In order to achieve a perfectly covered application with no unattractive bumps make sure you hold your brush flat and do not try to outline directly in one go. Patience is the key to anything even for your eyes to look their best.
4) Where to start
Many vloggers will advise you to start from the outer corner of the eye, but stay at ease and begin from the centre of the lash line. Make small dashes towards the outer corner. Slowly glide over these dashes still holding your brush flat to make an even line from the centre to the outer corner of your eyes.
If you plan to apply a winged liner, extend the dashed line beyond the outer corner going diagonally upwards from the lower lash line and smoothly join it to form a perfect wing.
5) filling the inner corner of your eyes
Now that the outer corner is lined take your brush and with the same liquid that is left on it and slowly extend the centre line using thin dashes towards the inner corner.
These tips were all about the application on the upper lash line but, many times you will wish to add the extra to your look. The perfect way to do it is by adding a bold eye to finish your look. To get bold eyes don’t hesitate in applying some liner on your lower lash line. Start from the outer corner of your eye and smoothly drag the brush towards the inner corners. Try to keep your hand steady for best results.
A pro tip will be the fact that whether bold and intense or just a simple lined upper lash line are both incomplete without perfect lashes. Just take an ooze of mascara on the brush and coat your lashes with ample amount to give them a thick and luscious appearance. For a party look you can add falsies, but, even then one or two coats of mascara are needed to merge your lashes with the falsies for that perfectly attractive look and finally, you are good to go.
So, by now you must have applied the liner but, now give it enough time to dry as it may create a mess otherwise. Go try these tips and soon you will be a pro at adding the appeal and attraction to your already perfect and beautiful eyes.
