How to Apply Eyeliner

Skillfully lined eyes can make a big difference in the overall effectiveness of any makeup application. Eyes will look larger and more awake when eyeliner is used. Applied correctly, eyeliner can define the eyes while working to enhance any other eye makeup products that are utilized...continues below

Applying Eyeliner

  1. Step 1

    Choose a color that will flatter the natural color of your eyes while complementing the shade of eye shadow you are planning to wear. Dark eyes can wear deep browns or even blacks. Blue eyes are complemented by charcoal gray shades. And green eyes look great with deep brown shades.

  2. Step 2

    Sharpen the eyeliner pencil with a small pencil sharpener. A sharp point is important and will yield a fine, smooth line.

  3. Step 3

    Close the eyes halfway and draw a light line of eyeliner across the top lid along the lash line.

  4. Step 4

    Smudge the line lightly with a fingertip or cotton swab if a subtle effect is desired. Repeat this process on the other eyelid.

  5. Step 5

    Draw a line along the lower lash line starting at the far side of the eye. The line should grow progressively thinner until it ends at the inner corner of the lower eye. Repeat this process on the other eyelid.

Tips

  • To make sure the eyeliner pencil continues to produce a smooth, fine line, soften the tip of the pencil by heating the tip for a couple of seconds with a blow dryer. This will make the liner more pliable and cause it to go on more smoothly.
