How to Use Liquid Eyeliner

If you want to use liquid eyeliner it
will give you a more striking accent.
Liquid eyeliner is very bold and
dramatic so use it very carefully.
Also remember that since it gives
the eyes such a dramatic effect it should
be reserved mostly for night time or for
a formal look.

When using liquid eyeliner make sure to
use the right brush: a small, pointed sable
brush. Remember to always make the line
thicker near the outer corners of the eye.
To start off, gently pull the outer corner of
your eye away from your nose with your
index finger. Try to get as close to the lid
as you can.

Next, start at the inner corner and work
the brush outward towards the outer eye.
Apply by using a smooth, continuous action
so you don’t break the line and smudge your
eyeliner. As you come towards an end, you
might want to tilt the brush so that the line
on the outer part of the eye is thicker than
the rest of the line.

Also don’t forget to have Q-tips close at hand
because if you make the line the wrong way,
you can easily fix it before the liquid eyeliner
dries. When using liquid eyeliner be sure to
apply the liquid eyeliner after applying eye
shadow and all other eye makeup, except for
mascara, which should always be applied last.

Always start at the inner corner of your upper
lid- this should be the thinnest line. If you choose
to apply eyeliner to the bottom rim of your eye,
make this line thinner than the one on the top lid.
