How To Apply Liquid Eyeliner For Beginners?

Eyeliner can transform any look. However, it can be a messy business if not done right. Beginners may not feel confident about being able to use liquid eyeliner. But rest assured, this tutorial will help you with all your concerns regarding liquid eyeliner.

What kind of prep is needed?

It is very important to ensure that the area where you will be applying the liquid eyeliner is completely dry. If it is greasy, the product will not last. The best way to prep the skin on your eyelids is to use any liquid or cream-based primer. Another tip is to apply mascara and curl your eyelashes. This way applying the liner will be easier and won’t be disturbed later by curling the lashes.

Step by Step tutorial

Step 1

• Always shake the liquid eyeliner tube before using it. It ensures the product is smooth and consistent.

• Always hold the eyeliner brush flat. Never hold it straight. Holding the brush flat keeps it perpendicular to the eyelid. It makes sure the application is smooth and not jagged.

Step 2

• Remember to always start from the middle. You can extend towards the outer corners.

Step 3

• Always finish the application in sections. Don’t think that you have to apply the entire line perfectly at once. It increases the chances of messing it up because the hand may shake or the product may dry.

Step 4

• Creating the wing is the most essential part of the liquid eyeliner liner look. To make the wing, follow along your lower lash and pull upwards to create a line.

Some people like to add liquid eyeliner to their lower lash line, which can easily get messy. But the tip is to start from the corners and converge in the middle. Using Kajal pencils for the lower lash line leads to better results.

Once the wing is in place, you can make the line thicker if you want to. You can extend wherever necessary. In the end, you can add false lashes if you want a fuller look.

Tips for applying liquid eyeliner for beginners

• Always choose a liquid eyeliner that is smudge-proof, waterproof, and transfer-proof. It ensures the liner doesn’t drip down.

• To make things easier, you can always draw dots and dashes then connect them to create a line.

• For those with very shaky hands, here’s a tip. Sit at a table and rest your elbow. Keep a mirror in front of you. Firmly rest your pinkie finger on your cheek, then draw the liner on. It will stabilize things.
