Eyeliner defines and enhances the beauty of your eyes. You can create stunning looks using eyeliner in different ways. Eyeliners are known for creating dramatic or even basic looks. With regular usage of eyeliner, you will notice a huge difference in your appearance. There are certain things you need to consider before applying eyeliner. Make sure you choose the right brand and trial out your look before the actual event to save time and allergies.

Here are a few important steps to follow to get the desired look with eyeliner.

1. Clean up and start fresh

Make sure your face is washed and all cleaned up before you start your makeup. Moisturize your skin with a good moisturizer. Apply good eye cream around the eye to remove wrinkles, discoloration and puffiness.

2. Use an eye primer for a clean base

By applying an eye primer around your eyes, it gives you a clean and even base with a smooth finish around the eye and makes it easier to apply makeup. Apply concealer after primer to get a perfect base and it also helps in keeping the makeup for long. Also, set the base with a setting powder to avoid creasing.

3. Amp it up with an eyeliner

Start with drawing lines using the brush which comes along with the product. Do not rush, and stay calm to avoid errors as it is difficult to start over. If you do not have sturdy hands and you are a beginner, start by applying dots and then join them to get a perfect look. Start with a thin line first with small strokes and then make it thick as you desire. This is the most simpler way to apply eyeliner.

4. The winged look

Create more drama by winging out your eyeliner. Once you get the hang of applying eyeliner in a standard way, you can try to add wings to create a new look. Before you draw the wings, follow the lower lash lines to create a perfect wing look. Finish it by applying mascara and your wing look is ready.

5. Tips to remember before applying eyeliner

• To get clean and smooth lines, it is important to keep your hands steady. If you are a beginner start by placing your elbows on a table and get a clean look.
• Apply your eyeliner by looking down to get a perfect look. Looking up makes it difficult to draw lines.
• Do not stretch the skin on the sides of the eye while creating wings as this may lead to messiness. A perfect wing look can be achieved by drawing small lines.
• You can use a tape or a credit card to get an angled look for wings. Place the tape or the card against the lower lash line to wing out your eyeliner.
• If you are using a pencil eyeliner ensure it is sharpened and pointy before you start off to get smooth and neat lines.

If you wish to apply eyeliner on the lower lid, use a waterproof eyeliner and follow it with some black eyeshadow and powder to keep the makeup in place.
