How to Use Eye Liner

Wet/dry shadow liner is probably
the most popular liner as well
as the easiest to use. They all
work very well, especially the
dark powder eye shadow colour.
To get this look, you will need
a square brush with stiff bristles
that will provide you with the most
natural look.

Choose a colour that suits you ( try
to match it with your outfit if you can).
Dampen your brush gently into the powder
eye shadow. When doing so, make sure that
the edge of the brush is well covered
into the colour.

Next up, pat the eyeliner brush
to remove any of the excess shadow.
Following your lash line, apply the
colour from the outer corner to the
inner corner of your eye, along your
upper lashes. Repeat the drill along
the bottom of your eye. This look
here is done, but just make sure you
don’t smudge your makeup, and let
it dry for a minute. When you have
finished, apply two coats of black
mascara and you’re all set.

Another really fun and playful
way of opening your eyes is to
use a double liner. A double
liner is when you actually use
two different eyeliners which
will give your eyes a very fun
and dramatic look. If you want
some suggestions, try pairing a
rich intense colour with a metallic
one or a jewel-bright colour with
a darker one. Colours such as charcoal
with silver, navy with gold, turquoise
with black, and violet with grey are
all fabulous combinations that will
make your eyes look completely amazing.

Now start off by using a liquid or a
pencil eye liner in a gold or metallic
colour. Start off by lining your upper
lids starting from the inner corner
of your eye to the outer and making the
line thicker as you approach the outer
corner. Do the same for your lower lashes
if you wish.

Next get your darker colour and line
your upper eyelids only, just above
the first line, flicking the colour
out at the edges. Don’t forget your mascara!
