You have an appointment in 15 minutes and we haven’t had time to do your makeup. You also don’t have an eyeliner handy. Should you give up eyeliner? The truth is that no: there is a trick with which you will wear a perfect line. And all you need is an eyeliner and your fingertip!
You just have to paint a small stain on your finger and bring it to the end of the eye. Gently press and move your finger out to draw the line you want. Et voilà! An eyeliner with a perfect smoky effect. Repeat these simple steps on the other eye and you will have a simple, beautiful and impeccable eyeliner without rushing being an impediment to it. You can substitute the pencil for a dark eyeshadow if you prefer.
Eyeliner, despite being a first year makeup subject, can be more difficult than it seems. If you have complications to get the eyeliner that you like the most, luckily there are other tricks with which it will be easier for you to do so.
If you have a predilection for how the eye line looks with a liquid eyeliner, but you don’t know how to apply it correctly, you may be following the wrong steps. First of all, don’t forget to shake the product well before you start to avoid any clumps from forming. To begin, place the brush in the outer corner of the eyelid and move it following the curve of your eyelashes. You can help yourself with a pencil by drawing before applying the liquid eyeliner. The result: a natural look of the most fashionable.
Another possibility to get the eyeliner right is to take the lower eyelid as a reference and follow that line upwards, starting from the outer corner of the eye to join it with the upper eyelid. You can practice with your eyes open, with fine and discreet strokes. You will achieve a long-lasting eyeliner that adapts to the shape of your eye and does not change shape when you blink.
The optimal time to line your eye is 1 minute. However, getting the tricks above can take you one, two or more tries until you find your style. Don’t worry if you have to go to an event that can’t wait and you didn’t get the result you wanted: you can fix the damage in a jiffy.
To eliminate lines or undulations in the line, help yourself with makeup remover wipes to shape it. Place it on one finger and correct those mistakes that cloud your eyeliner. If you are not convinced by this option, you can also use an ear swab to remove the damage and keep the part of the line that has turned out well.
