Eyeliner Tips
- Eyeliner may or may not be a favourite for you, but it can make or break a look. Here are some tips that will help you get it right:
- Make sure your eyelids are clean, and then apply a primer to them so that your eye makeup does not smear and lasts longer.
- To make your lashes appear denser, apply eyeliner as tightly to the lash line as possible, so it looks like a natural lash line. This is known as tight-lining. Connect the dots by drawing a dotted line from the outside to the inside corner (you can use a stiff slant brush to blend the dots out into an effortless soft line).
- To obtain accuracy and proper form, make sure the tip of your liner is thin yet blunt. To avoid your eyeliner from slipping, you can freeze it for a while.
- To get the ideal winged eyeliner, start on the lash line at the pupil and work your way towards the corners using a liner of your choice. If your hand isn’t stable enough to use liquid liner, line your eyes with a pencil liner first, then trace over it with liquid liner.
Eyeshadow Tips
- If you want your eyeshadow to remain on all day and not crease, as well as for the eyeshadow colour to truly stand out, apply a quality primer beforehand.
- Use a dark shade of eyeshadow for the bottom of your eye (just below the lash line), a medium shade for the region above that, and a light shade for the top. Blend them well.
Eyebrow Tips
- Use an eyebrow gel to keep your brows in place if they are unruly. They also seem a lot more polished and groomed with just a tiny dab of that gel.
- To give definition to your brows, use a light highlighter under the brow arch.
Mascara Tips
- Always begin applying mascara from the base of your lashes and work your way to the tips. This will instantly add volume to your lashes without weighing them down.
- Wait around 10 seconds after applying one layer of mascara before adding a second coat (if desired). This keeps your lashes from becoming clumpy!
- Before applying mascara, wipe any excess mascara off using a tissue to make it easier to handle and less clumpy (this way you will also avoid the horrid spidery-lashes look).
