One thing I get asked about frequently is, "How do you do your eyeliner?" It's hard to explain, so I will do my best today! When starting out with eyeliner my best advice to you is to start out with gel eyeliner. It's easier to control than a liquid. Make sure when you buy your gel liner that you buy a small eyeliner brush as well. The next best advice I can give is practice practice practice! Trust me, when I started using eyeliner I was far from perfect! I made plenty of mistakes and had to take all my makeup off and try again! I know it's super annoying to make mistakes but once you get the hang of it you will never go back. As far as what kind of eyeliner I use, I love liquid liner. I have always used it and loved it. It's hard to control at first because it's so runny.
Why do I do a winged eyeliner? I personally like it because my eyes angle down. So I wing my eyeliner so that they look more open and awake. Now winged liner is not for everyone, but it's fun to try!
The brand I use everyday is:
Maybelline Master Precise
I LOVE this stuff! Not too runny, just the perfect consistency.
When I start my eyeliner I have all my eye makeup on and I start right where my eyelashes begin. Not right into the corner of my eye, just a little after my tear duct.
I continue with a steady hand along my lash line.
Once I get to the end of my eye I flick out my eyeliner upwards towards my eyebrow.
I then draw above my winged part and make it a little thicker on the end.
I Fill in the line.
I do the same to the other side. It's easier for me to draw an outline of the wing first, then to fill it in.
I know it looks dramatic in this photo, but once you put your mascara on it's not as dramatic as below pictures show.
Side view all finished!

Thanks for this information, lady! :) Really helpful - I don't often wear eye makeup, but when I do I like to wear eyeliner, but have a hard time with application of my pencil liner. I love the color but it never goes on as smoothly as I'd like. Perhaps it's time to try a gel! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I know what you mean about the pencil, it's never as dark as you want it to be! Gel is the perfect place to start! :) Glad it was helpful!
