Classic lines pair well with liquid, pencil, and gel liners.
But the real trick is mastering the art of lining your lids without pulling on them.
Begin with the core line from the inner to outer cornerbeing sure to stop at your outer corner.
Next work from out to in.
Be intentional and decide where you want your flick to stop.
Draw downward until you connect with the end of the line you drew at your outer corner.
Wing-tip
Winged liner is applied exactly like a cat eyeliner and works well with all eyeliner products.
So follow the above stepswith just a bit more product and verve.
However, people with hooded ormonolidswill have the sharpest learning curve with wings and cat-eyes.
(And for mosteye shapesthis should work fine.)
But people with hooded or monolid eyes should avoid this and instead, face forward.
Once applied, smudge the lower line and the flick, which creates that smoky look.
(Obviously, for a smoky eye, the under-eye line is essential.)
But in many cases, you might skip it.
Typically pencils, gels, and even eyeshadow are better choices for this look.
It can be used on both upper and lower.
Similar to regular under-eye lining, tightlining or waterlining is best paired with pencils whether traditional or gel.
Because you’re applying product directly next to the eye, liquid liners are a bad choice.
With waterlining or tightlining, you’re applying eyeliner inside the lash line.
Jessica Richards, founder ofShen Beauty, notes that pencils are perfect for this technique.
“When using a pencil, the best method is to trace the pencil through your lashes.
This gives a tightline effect and smoldering finish.”
And these eyeliner system hacks are great for any beautywhether a novice or a proto use.
It helps to angle the felt tip at 45 degrees and apply the tip lightly but with intention.
This will allow you to apply a tight line across."
The takeaway.
Eyeliner is a makeup mainstayof course, that doesn’t mean everyone finds it easy.
In fact, certain eye looks (looking at you, winged eye!)
can prove quite the challenge.
