Steer to Colored Eyeliner: How to Apply

18 February 2009 No Comment

colored-eyeliner-lookMany girls steer away from colored eyeliner because they just don’t know how or when to sport it.  Colored eyeliner is definitely fun and a change from the standard, boring brown or black shades.  Try it out!  If you want a dramatic look, go for the red, yellow or orange tones.  If you want a slightly less dramatic look, experiment with the cooler shades like purple, green, and blue.  The following are MadameDaily’s tips on how to apply colored eyeliner:

  1. First, Powder Up – Apply a translucent powder to lids, which will give your lids a matte finish and prevents the eyeliner from smearing.  Do not apply colored eye shadow unless you really want to make a statement.  Colored eyeliner is usually just enough!
  2. Upper Lids First; Inside to Outside – Start with the upper lid inside corner to outer corner.  Start with a thinner line and go thicker as you wish.
  3. Next, the Lower Lids – Then apply eyeliner under your lower lashes.  Again, start inside and move outward.  It probably isn’t necessary to re-dip if you are using liquid eyeliner, since the color is potent.
  4. Mascara? Just a Touch -Apply mascara after applying eyeliner.  Keep mascara to a minimum.

Colored eyeliner is perfect for the upcoming bright Spring and Summer seasons.  Steer away from the black and browns…Colors, here we come!
