Your Personal Makeup Artist Make Up Tips, Tricks, and Techniques from Professional Make Up Artists

Applying eyeliner may seem like a daunting task, and even more so if it is the liquid variety. What is a girl to do? Here are some easy tips on a foolproof way to apply liquid eyeliner so that you look as flawless as ever!

For easy liquid eyeliner makeup tips, it is best to start out by applying a neutral shadow with a makeup brush to your entire eyelid. This will give you a nice base to start with, and also keep any of this eyeshadow from falling onto your liquid liner after you have applied it. It should be close to the color of your natural skin tone, and you then can apply a shimmer highlighter to your brow bone to make it stand out. To accentuate the crease of your eye, all you have to do is apply a medium brown shade with your makeup brush, and it will give natural depth to the eye. This is the easy makeup that you need to truly make your liquid eyeliner stand out for a flawless and beautiful application.

Now on to the liquid eyeliner! You can use any brand that you like, but most women do prefer to use black because it gives a sultry, 50s look that will create a classic appeal to your makeup application. You need a steady hand, and you can make it even easier by pulling out the corner of your eye so that the eyelid lies flat. From there, you can apply a straight line from the inner to outer corner of your eye. It is best to make the line thicken as it moves toward the outer corner of your eye to open up your eyes and give a wider look to these features. An even easier way to apply this liquid eyeliner to make sure that it gets as close to the lash line as possible is to tilt your head back and use a hand mirror held underneath your eye. This will allow you to have an up close and personal look so that you can make sure that you are getting your liquid eyeliner as close to your lashes as you can. Since this is such a detailed task, if there is a gap between the lash line and the liquid eyeliner, it will look very obvious.

It is best to practice your liquid eyeliner application on a bare eye until you are completely comfortable. Additionally, use Q-tips and eye makeup remover to help you out if you make any mistakes. It happens to everyone! You can also help your hand to remain steady by resting your elbow on a countertop so that you do not shake when you are applying your liquid eyeliner.

Since this is such a dramatic look, you have the option of applying it only on the top lash line, or on the bottom lash line as well. Applying only on the top will give you an innocent and doe eyed look for true natural beauty.
