How to Apply Eyeliner?
Shape and define your eyes with eyeliner after you've applied eye
shadow and before applying mascara. Whether you choose a soft line
or a dramatic stroke, eyeliner draws attention.
Steps:
* Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy
and charcoal accent light eyes well, while brown and plum shades
flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of
your shadow.

* Consider the type of look you're after. Pencil eyeliner gives
your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision
and drama. You can also moisten dark eye shadow and apply it with a
small, flat brush.
* Prepare a cake liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small
amount of water to your brush. Or, if you're using a pencil
eyeliner, ensure that you've sharpened the pencil adequately.
* Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow.
Hold the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.
* Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open
state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing
you to see what you're doing.
* Draw a line across the upper lid just above the lashes, from the
inside corner to the outside corner of the eye.
* If you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your
eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your
eye.If you used a brush or a pencil, soften the look by gently
smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your
finger.
* Line the lower lids. Moving from the outside edge inward, draw a
line on the outer two-thirds of the lid or more, depending on the
look you're going for. Your line should be slightly thicker at the
outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose.
Using your brush or pencil, lightly stroke the area. If using a
liquid liner, apply it in one smooth stroke. Apply less color so
your eyes don't appear raccoonlike.
Tips:
* You may find eyeliner, particularly the liquid version, difficult
and messy the first few times. Practice and have patience.
