Liquid Eyeliner Tips and Tricks

There are several eyeliner styles that you can attempt with a liquid eyeliner, some of which have been mentioned here, in these various liquid eyeliner tips and tricks.

Before you Begin
Before you begin with these liquid eyeliner tips and tricks, there are certain other things you should keep in mind:

• Always cleanse your eyelids before you apply eye makeup as they tend to be oily most of the time. Follow up this routine with the use of a concealer to even out the skin tone of the eyelids.
• Keep an eye makeup remover, and cotton pads handy, in case you make a mistake while applying the eyeliner.
• Apply the eyeshadow before you apply the eyeliner. This helps in holding the liquid eyeliner in place, and makes it less prone to smudging.
• Applying liquid eyeliner takes time and patience, and if you don't have either, avoid applying it altogether.
• Check for any allergies to liquid eyeliner before you apply it.
• To begin with, stick to the traditional black eyeliner. Later, if you wish for more dramatic eye makeup, you can resort to brighter colors of liquid eyeliner.
• After you have applied the liner, keep your eyes closed for at least 30 seconds to allow it to dry. Liquid eyeliner can otherwise smudge very easily.
• Use waterproof liquid eyeliner for best results.

3. Next, use your brush and connect this flick of eyeliner to the eyeliner on your upper lash line. You will notice the formation of an almost triangular shape.
4. On your lower lash line, make a very fine line with the liquid eyeliner, from the center of your lower lash line, to the outer corner, and connect it to the upper eyeliner.
5. Apply kohl on the inner rim of the lower lash line.

Glitter Liquid Eyeliner Tips
Glitter liquid eyeliner adds some more jazz to your eye makeup, and the glamor it gives to your overall appearance is like the cherry on the icing. When you apply glitter eyeliner, keep the rest of your makeup toned down, so that your eyes are well played up.

1. When you apply glitter liquid eyeliner, use a subtle shade of eyeshadow, so that the eyeliner can stand out.
2. To apply glitter eyeliner, first make a thin line with a black pencil eyeliner. Do not use liquid for this purpose as the glitter liquid eyeliner will smear it.
3. Now, as you would apply your normal liquid eyeliner, apply a thin line of the glitter liquid eyeliner, over the line you made with the pencil eyeliner.
4. Apply just one coat, as this will help accentuate the glitter eyeliner.
5. Do not apply glitter eyeliner on your lower lash line, as it might cause slight itching due to the glitter.
6. For a cat-eye effect with glitter liquid eyeliner, just follow the above mentioned steps.
7. Finally, wrap up your eye makeup with the use of an eyelash curler, followed by the use of mascara.
