It doesn’t look like something that’s seem of no importance in makeup can actually have a huge impact in a makeup look. I’m talking about eyeliner, it sound less than what it does to your look, do you know your eyeliner can make your eyes bigger if you know where and how to place your lines, do know it also brighten up the eyes when put on compare to sleepy eyes without it. Eyeliner is a game changer when it comes to your makeup look, a mistake with your eyeliner will ruin a well put together makeup look, despite the fact that you’re only working with tiny spaces around the eyes.
In today’s article, we are looking into easy effective way to wear our eyeliner effortlessly to achieve a lifted eye look and brighter and opened eyes:
Start With Kohl Pencil:
The most common mistakes when it comes to application of eyeliner is keeping the hands stable so as to draw a perfect eyeliner and because many of us fall into this category and if you ask me for example, I don’t think I will ever be able to keep my hands stable when drawing an eyeliner, so, to make life easy you’re best advised to start with a simple Kohl pencil (Kohl pencil is soft and easy for shape shifting) by sketching your line and figure out the shape you want your eyeliner to look (you simply remove any unwanted bit in the sketch), then go over the sketch with your liquid eyeliner for longevity and perfection.

Think Of Your Starting Point:
Make your starting point to be from the outter corner of the eyes, draw the perimeters of your wings then fill in the gap. This technique gives a perfecting finish to your look without the messy smudge and translate into bigger bolder eyes. You can also start from the inner corner of the eyes if you want a thin eyeliner look, this always gives a thin petit flick that’s good for everyday look.

Go In With Mascara Before Flicking:
Applying your mascara gives you a framework to work with when applying your eyeliner. Mascara lifts and adds volume to your lashes so when applied first it helps give an idea of how your wing should go, to put in a simple word it brings everything together, with the lashes lifted and full you understand where and how your eyeliner should be placed. Follow the lifted eye lashes then flick towards the brow focusing on the outter part of the eyes. Mascara is a push up bra of the eyes, so starting with it first makes a bigger difference.

Play With Colours:
Autumn winter season might not warrant wearing so much of colours as a pop to any makeup look but because the weather is dull does not mean the eyes have to be too. In fact, a good way to add radiance to your beauty look will be finding autumnal colours like sage green, chocolate brown, deep bronze, forest green etc to add fun to your makeup look. These colours are not so overwhelming yet speaks loud in its subtle way, you’re most advised to wear them along the lash line as opposed to extending them out as wing. Warm browns and deep browns will brighten your look, while green and yellow will play off your eye colour. For bolder impact wear the black shade and top it with bright blue – a look that will rescue you for any autumn night out. The black eyeliner base works with gold sparkle too, simply draw the eyeliner starting from the outter corner of the eyes then place the gold eyeliner in the middle of the eyelid towards the inner corner of the eyes – think of what the look will do at a Christmas party. Try the white for a winter wonderland glam.

Keep Your Eyes Open During Placement If You Have Hooded Eyes:
The group of people that suffers the most in hands of eyeliner will be the hooded eye beauty category. When you have hooded eyes, fold of skin around the outter corner of the eyes can cause a disaster if you close your eyes during application, as you can draw a perfect winged eyeliner with eyes closed only to discover your wings are crooked or not even showing at all. Most of the time this is due to the skin covering up what you’ve drawn, so you’re best advised to open your eyes during placement and work with the little space you have left.
