How To Apply Eye Liner To Make Your Eyes Look Exceptionally Lovely

Your eyes are the most prominent features of your face so you need to make the most of them when applying makeup. Choose an eye liner that is appropriate for the color of your eyes. For instance, if you have lovely brown eyes, it would be wise for you to get brown or plum shades. Note that plum shade eye liners flatter brown eyes and make them look really interesting. On the other hand, if your eyes have lighter color, navy blue and charcoal accent will look great on you.

Another thing that you need to consider when buying eye liner is the kind of look that you want to achieve. For instance, if you want to appear dramatic, you should get those liquid type eye liners. On the other hand, if you want to give your eyes a soft definition, a pencil will do the trick better.

Applying The Eye Liner

Take your time when applying your makeup. A hurriedly put on eye liner is not good to look at so make sure that you give yourself enough time to apply your makeup and make yourself you really pretty.

If you are using a cake eye liner, use a good brush to apply the eye liner. Put some water on your brush and then dip your brush into the cake. Use the brush to apply some color to your eyes. On the other, if you are using a pencil, adequately sharpen the pencil before you use it. When applying liners with the use of a brush or a pencil, hold the brush as if you are holding a pen, tilt your head upward slightly and then open your eyes halfway. With your brush or pencil, draw a line across the upper lids of your eyes. Your line should be just above your eyelashes. Use a mirror to help you see your face when applying the eye liner.

After applying your eye liner, smooth out the line with the use of cotton swab or your fingers. If you are using a liquid eye liner, make sure that you do not open your eyes fully before the liquid had completely dried or else you will smudge the folds of your eyes. When you are done with the upper lids of your eyes, apply the lines on your lower lids. Do not apply too much color on your eyes especially during the day because this could make you look unnatural. Just apply enough color to define your eyes, nothing more.
