The eyeliner technique represents an ideal way to start exploring with makeup and create slightly more sophisticated and ambitious looks. It is not something particularly complicated, the key is to have a little precision and pulse. Although it can be quite a challenge at first, it won’t be very difficult to get the hang of it and end up incorporating it as another basic step into makeup. However, it doesn’t end there. In addition to its simplest version, it is worth noting that there are different types of eyeliner, such as the reverse or graphic eyeliner, among others. And one that is currently in full trend: the double eyeliner.
For those who have resisted the traditional version of the technique, this style can be seen as something almost unattainable. However, the reality is that it will be practically the same as doing the same thing, only twice and with the luck of already having a first eyeliner that marks the pattern from which you should start. Unlike other types, this liner continues to preserve the simple appearance of the basic eyeliner, although with an added original touch that is just what you are looking for to achieve something different from the usual. In addition, you can explore as much as you want with different thicknesses, lengths and colors.
An excellent option to change the shape of the eye through a visual illusion, either lengthening its appearance, enlarging it or hiding drooping eyelids. The double eyeliner is just what you can deduce from its name, that is, an eyeliner formed by two parallel lines. At first, it may seem a bit excessive, however, it will be easy to opt for a more subtle style, or the opposite, just playing with the thickness of the lines and the colors of the products. A piece of advice if you do not perfectly master the eyeliner technique, it is better to opt for a product in marker format, since they are easier to use.
One of the most classic options is to arm yourself with a black and a silver eyeliner to create this double effect. The first step is based on drawing the normal outline in black and, just above the line marked by it, a second one, which is thin, will be drawn with the color silver. The result is an enhanced, sophisticated and striking look, ideal for standing out at night. Another option would be to replace the silver with blue or a very fashionable color for this type of makeup, white.
However, you can achieve all kinds of looks with double eyeliner, you just have to experiment with different types of thickness, lengthen the lines more or less outside the eye and combine various shades of colors, creating harmonies or contrasts.
