Applying eyeliner is not an easy task. Many women say that whenever they apply an eyeliner it tends to smudge or it doesn’t come in a smooth way. Here are some of the beauty tips and hacks for using eyeliner.
Beauty Tips
1Last Longer
To keep your eyeliner last longer, firstly, line your eyes with a pencil liner. Then lightly dust eyeshadow in the same shade or a similar shade on top to hold the liner in place.
2Shaky Eyeliner
If your hand isn’t steady enough for liquid eyeliner, then line your eyes first with a pencil liner and then apply liquid eyeliner on top. By doing this you will be able to apply eyeliner without any smudge.
3Pigmented Eyeshadow
Move vibrant by covering your eyelid with a white eyeliner first. This will help to cancel out the colour of your skin, creating an even base for the shadow and makes the colour pop.
4Custom Liner
If you want to create your own custom eyeliner, then wet your brush with water and then dip it into any eyeshadow. The wet brush will darken the pigments of it and create a new eyeliner.
5Define your Brows
You can use a white eyeliner as a pro highlighter for the instant eyelid. To get that eyelid, the line below and above your eyebrows with a thick white liner and smudge it with the fingertip or with a sponge brush to define your brows.
6Fuller Eyes
If you do not want your eyes to look too bigger, then the easiest way to get those fuller eyes is to fill in your top lashes from the underneath. This will make your eyelashes look fuller and won’t look too bigger. You can do this with a gel eyeliner or a pencil eyeliner.
7Steady Hand
If you find it difficult to apply eyeliner tends, another way to line your eyes is to draw straight line lining your eyes with dots first and then connecting them.
8Fix Eyeliner
Messed up your eyeliner? Don’t worry. Use a skin colour liner, instead of wiping it off. Apply the skin colour liner on the area where your liner has the smudge.
9Smokey Cat Eyes
Take a scotch tape on the back of your hand, then stick it to the outer corner of the eye. Then take your favourite kajal and apply along your lash line. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Because you have to smudge it out anyway. Take a smudger brush and smoke out the edges very lightly and do the same on your lower lashline. Remove the tape to get that cat-eye look. This is among the best beauty tips as it works wonders for beginners.
10Eyeliner on the curler
Do you face this problem when you apply your favourite eyeliner and then you curl your lashes and the liner get stuck to your eyelash curler? The solution to that is, first curl your lashes, and then apply your favourite gel liner or pencil liner followed by your favourite mascara.
11Make your own gel liner
For this warm the tip of a kohl liner with a lighter. For that hold the tip of the liner above the flame for a few seconds. After some time test the pencil before lining your eyes.
12Prevent Eyeliner to Dry
Eyeliner always tends to dry. In order to prevent that keep liquid eyeliner upside down. You can use a candle stand or a basket to place your gel eyeliners upside down.
13Heat It Up
Do you have an eyeliner pencil that is harsh and scraping across your eyelid? Then try this hack. Use a hairdryer and blow dry on the tip of the pencil to soften it.
14Mascara as Eyeliner
You’re getting ready for a party. You want to apply eyeliner but you don’t find it. Don’t worry. Do you have mascara? You can work with that. Use the mascara to line your eyes like you apply eyeliner. Apply the mascara close to your lash line. Create a smudge line. If you have a brush, use that to apply mascara.
