How To Apply Eyeliner Perfectly

  •   Eyeliner (with an eyeliner brush if required)
  •   Primer
  •   Concealer
  • Cotton swab

This is a step that is quite overlooked, but is, in fact, the most important step. After cleansing your face, apply a moisturizer for the face and an eye cream around the eyes. The eye cream helps with premature wrinkles and evens out any redness or discoloration near the area.

To achieve an even and clean base, apply a small amount of eye primer on the eyelid, under your eyes, and around the general eye region where any kind of eye makeup would go. The primer’s main job is to make the skin smoother so that it becomes easier to apply makeup. This will give you a flawless finish and keep the makeup in place for a long time. Apply concealer on top of the eyelid and the under eyes. Blend it well, and make sure to set it with a setting powder.

Now comes the main part – the eyeliner. You can either use the brush that comes with it or buy one. Start with a line above your lashes. Make sure you use small lines and strokes. It’s always better to build it up. If you make it too thick, you might create a mess out of it, so keep the strokes small. Once you are satisfied with one eye, do the same with the other one. Try to keep it as symmetrical as possible. 

Now it’s time to shape your eye with a natural look. The trick to finding the right angle is to follow the natural line of the lower lash line. If a line were extended from your lower lash line, that is where your liner should wing out to. Map out the line and fill it in slowly. Take your time with this when you’re first starting out, because if you mess it up, you’ll have to start over.

With the help of a cotton swab, check the symmetry of your eyes and clean if there is any strain or excess.
