Learning how to apply eye liner can help make your eye shape stand out, or you can even use eye liner to change the shape that your eyes appears to be. Using eye liner can enhance the depth and definition of your eyes if it is done properly. Eye liner can be used above the bottom lashes or on the top lashes.
How to Apply Eye Liner Video
In this featured video, professional make-up artist, Davee Troublefield demonstrates how to apply eye liner on the top eye lid. He uses a gel eye liner and an eye liner brush to make a thin line along the lashes on the eye lid.
Step 1: Applying Pencil Eye Liner
Hold the eye liner pencil like you would if you were going to write with it. It may help if you sit in front of a mirror and have something to rest your elbow on in order to steady your arm. Tilt your head back just a little and take the pencil and draw a thin line across the top of your bottom lashes. As you become more comfortable using the eye liner pencil, you can practice and experiment with different line lengths or lining above the lashes on your upper lid.http://howtoapplyeyeliner.com/how-to-apply-eyeliner-pencil/#more-5
Step 2: Applying Liquid Eye Liner
Applying liquid eye liner will be about the same as using an eye liner pencil. The main difference is that you will want to be sure your arm and hand are steady to keep from smearing it. Practicing with a pencil may help you become more comfortable with the process before trying to use liquid eye liner. After applying liquid eye liner, you will want to hold your position and give it time to dry completely.http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/apply-eye-liner.htm
Step 3: Other Eye Liner Methods
Some people use eye shadow to add a thin line of color that is softer than using actual eye liner. This can be done by using a thin eye shadow brush that has a pointed end that you can use to brush the color of your choice along your upper or lower eyelashes. Eye liner gels or cream eye shadows can also be applied with an eye liner brush.http://www.ultimate-cosmetics.com/apply-eye-liner.htm
