Eyeliner is a must-have product in the everyday makeup routine. With it, your eyes look larger and sexier! Even a no-make-up look will look better with eyeliner. However, this is a makeup product that can take quite a bit of practice to master, so here are eyeliner makeup tips to get you started.
Eyeliner Makeup – The different formulas of eyeliners
Eyeliners are available in a few different formulas, and each one will have its own technique when it comes to application.
The easiest formula for beginners to master is the eyeliner pencil. An important part is to keep the pencil sharp. In that way, you’ll be able to draw a thin and precise line.
Gel eyeliners are another option, and they are applied with a little brush. You can choose how much gel you’ll apply, but be careful not to exaggerate.
Finally, you’ve got liquid liners. Beginners tend to find the liquid eyeliner quite messy, but they are ideal for creating a sharp, defined and dramatic line.
How to avoid eyeliner smudging
If you are afraid of eyeliner smudging, you should put primer on eyelids. If you don’t have it, concealer will do the job. Invest in eyeliner with a waterproof formula.
Eye shape matters! If you have hooded eyes, stick to applying eyeliner in a thin line right against your lashes to avoid any product transfer! Also, if you have oily skin, use foundation for your skin type. Also, use blotting paper. Blotting sheets work their magic by soaking up excess sebum on the skin, subsequently making it look and feel more matte.
