Eyeliner is one of the most important cosmetics and can give you a dramatic look without much time or effort. Whether you choose a soft line or dramatic stroke, you can embellish the windows to your soul by spending just a few minutes in front of a mirror with an eyeliner pencil. Raise your eyebrows so that your eye lid does not block your lash line at all.
It may be helpful to rest your elbow on a table to keep your hand steady. Use your eyeliner to create a small dotted line directly above your lashes on your upper eyelid. Make sure that the dots are as close to the base of your eyelid as possible.
Draw a line using short, brief strokes to connect all the dots. Instead of drawing one continuous line, use the shorter lines to help create an even non bumpy line. You should begin drawing at the inside corner of your eye and end at the outer corner. Make sure that each of the dots has been connected and that the ends of the line taper slightly instead of ending in a blunt, rounded dot.
For a smoky, blurred look, use your finger to smudge your eyeliner along your upper lash line. Don’t rub it in, but just smear it slightly so that the line isn’t very distinct. Only use this effect on the upper lash line, as doing so on the bottom will make it look like you are wearing old makeup. For daily wear, you should try to keep your eyeliner as thin as possible for a natural look. When you want to go out, make your eyeliner a bid thicker to add fullness to your lashes.
