How To Apply Eyeliners Like A Pro For Beginner's

Taking baby steps into the world of mesmerizing and (sometimes) messy eyeliners? There are so many attractive eyeliner looks you can play with, if only, you knew ‘how.’ That’s where we come in. Our beginner’s guide to applying eyeliners is here to make you feel confident and (hopefully!) creative about the process. 

You’ve got to begin somewhere and we hope these steps and tips will help you.
 

Everyone has a type! Find the right type! 

Choices are plenty here. Which one to go for? Liquid, gel, pencil or a felt tip liner?

We imagine you’re scratching your head at this point, so we won’t waste any time in telling you that each type is unique and leaves behind an effect that’s unique too. 

For instance, the eyeliner pencil is more dry than the others and gives your eyes subtle definition. Not your thing? Need more precision and boldness? A liquid eyeliner or the felt tip eyeliner might seem a bit more challenging to use, but the intense look and smudge-proof perfection you’ll get with these babies is hard to ignore. 
 

Beginner’s Tip to Tr-eye: 

The pencil liner is the buddy a beginner’s looking for. If you’re a first-timer with a liner, an eyeliner pencil will help you perfect your everyday makeup look, in the most hassle-free way possible. Just choose a no-tug, soft pencil eyeliner that doesn’t hamper application, and glides on nice and smooth. 

P.S: For a sharp line on your lids, you need to keep your eyeliner pencils sharpened too. Otherwise, your eyes will lack the charm of bold pigment.

Attention, please! Take Position! 

Once you pick the eyeliner you wanna play with, all you gotta do is take position. You need a strategy to apply this thing! These simple steps might help. 

1. Sit in front of the mirror, armed with an eyeliner and makeup remover.
2. Tilt your head slightly, keep one eye closed and the other open so that you can see how your liner looks coming along. Just what you’d do while applying eyeshadow. 
3. Tip: Stretch your skin to see if you win! At the corner of your eye, make the skin taut by pulling it outwards with the hand you’re applying the eyeliner with. This should make application somewhat easier. 
    

Dare to Dash! 

Can dashes do the trick!? Hell yes! Coz ‘dash’ how we roll. 

Here’s a simple and easy technique! Just draw three dashes along your eye line and connect them. You’ve connected dots before as a kid, right? How simple was that! This isn’t any different. 

Once you connect the line, it might look like it needs some blending. That’s where an eyeliner brush or a cotton swab to even it out, might come in handy. 
 

Dealing with the ‘Shaky Hands Syndrome’

We’d like to ‘Shake It Like Shammi’ on the dance floor, but ‘shaking’ while applying eyeliner is definitely a bad idea. Yet, the ‘Shaky Hands Syndrome’ is real! Especially when you’re starting out with eyeliners. It could be the nervousness to get the look right in the first go that leaves you with shaky hands, but the reason doesn’t matter. With shaky hands, the smudges are gonna suck. 

With a few calculated moves though, you could steady your unsteady hand. Try this out: 

1. Sit down in front of the mirror. 
2. Make sure your elbow rests on a flat surface. 
3. Rest your cheek on your palm so that you’re in a stable position. 
4. With your other hand, go ahead and line your eyes.
    

Cover up Smudges with Primer or Concealer

Btw, this is the real reason why you should first try your luck with an eyeliner pencil. Smudges! 

Even if you mess up your makeup look, there’ll be teeny-tiny smudges and you could give your eye-look a creative spin too! Transforming a mess-up for the better is the superpower of the eyeliner pencil. All those smudges could give off a gorgeous ‘smokey-eyes’ effect, if you just blend it all in! 

But there’s yet another way to deal with the smudge scenario! A primer or a concealer! If you find that you haven’t been able to set the perfect line, you need something that delivers perfection. Get something like the Ny Bae HD Spotless Liquid Concealer that’ll swipe off the smudges and leave you with a high-definition eye makeup look. 

Swab Se Karenge Smudges Ka Swagat! 

Another sure-shot way to fix mistakes is using a cotton swab. You don’t have to start from scratch if the line you’ve been drawing looks out of shape. Dip a cotton swab in makeup remover and carefully erase all your mistakes in a super-clean way. 
 

This is where it ends, Beginners… And your fun with the eyeliners begins! 

We took you through easy and quick ways to perfect your eyeliner-application techniques. But that’s not all. We’ve also left you with useful cover-up lessons, just in case you’ve got to some damage control. Just wing it!
