Eyeliner can be one of the most powerful tools in a woman's makeup bag, allowing you to highlight and define your pretty peepers. But if you don't know how to use eyeliner correctly, you can do more damage than good. Check out these common eyeliner application mistakes and how to fix them.
Violation: Gap between your liner and eyelashes. If you can see your skin peeking through, you're in the wrong.
I sentence you to wiggling your eyeliner directly into your lash line and even lifting your upper lid and tight lining underneath. Your lashes will look lusher and your liner will enhance, not distract.
Violation: Only lining the bottom lash line. This is one of the best ways to say "Hey, look how droopy my eyes are!" I see this, though, more often than you'd believe.
I sentence you to lining the top lid if you're doing the bottom. The bottom line should be much thinner than the top. Try dotting the liner in between your lower lashes or smudging it out. Check out this handy video on eyeliner application.
Violation: Using liquid liner on your bottom lash line. It is simply too harsh and dramatic for the lower lid area.
I sentence you to using only liquid on the top lid to create beautiful cat eyes and a soft pencil liner or dark shadow on the bottom.
Violation: Outlining your entire eye in one thick line. This doesn't actually bring out your eyes as much as you'd think. Outlining the entire shape actually closes them in and makes them appear smaller.
I sentence you to a gradual thin-to-thick line on the top lash line and only a thin, softly smudged line on the lower lash line, stopping short of the tear duct.
Violation: Using eyeliner like a black permanent marker to literally black out your entire eye area.
I sentence you to chill out, taking a step back, and seeing eyeliner as an enhancement to your shadow. Try experimenting more with shadow and use liner as just the finishing touch.
Now that you've studied up, I think we can release you from eyeliner jail on good behavior.
