My Eyeliner Style!
Its all about the eye liner, you can go from simple to sexy with just a tiny tilt! The magic of make-up lies in the eyes. If you have some color dabbed on, accompanied with a classic black liner, you are good to go.
1. 5 styles of eyeliner :-
My personal favorite was and still is the black liner, though a lot of you prefer colored liners.There are so many different styles and way of applying your liner, to some it might not seem like a big deal but the truth is the way you apply your eye liner can change your look almost completely. Learn how to apply the different styles of eyeliner and some tips on how to use colored eyeliners
1. NATURAL EYELINER - This fun eyeliner style is completely natural. That might not seem very fun, but the thing is that you can dress up this style with different colors. When going for a natural look with your eyeliner, all you have to do is line your upper lid. If you have really wide eyes and want them to look smaller, line the whole thing. If you have smaller eyes and want them to look bigger, or if your eyes are set close together and you want them to appear more widely spaced, just line the outer half of your lid.
2. FASHION EYELINER -This probably doesn't make sense, but there is a V-shaped sort of eyeliner application that's really gorgeous. It's also versatile, because it can be worn casually during the daytime, or you can make it more dramatic for an evening out. All you do is outline the corners of your eyes, the most outward parts of your upper and lower eyelashes. This, naturally, makes a v-shape. For evening events, outline a little more of your upper lids. No matter when you try this look, make sure you smudge your eyeliner. You don't want a hard, really angular line.
3. THICK AND INTENSE - This method is best done by using the dot technique, where you line your lids with a succession of dots that you then smooth together. The key to this look is intensely smudging your eyeliner on both your upper and lower lids. You also need to make sure to line the inner part of your lower eyelid. You can get an even more dramatic look by applying a second layer of eyeliner above (or below) the first one, or doing it with eye shadow.
4. SMOKY - This look is for both eye shadow and eyeliner, of course. Many people think it's dependent on the shadow, but if you don't get the eyeliner right, it won't look the way it should. The key here is to line your upper eye lid thick toward the outer and inner corners; in between, the line should be thinner. The lower lid depends on personal preference, but lining only half or two thirds of it arguably looks better
5. CLEOPATRA TILT - This is a really fun eyeliner style, not to mention a classic. Even if you don't have kohl, it's still a great look to try. It can be as thin or as thick as you like, but if you want a really dramatic look, then thicker is better. As you likely know, with this style, your eyeliner extends to the outer corner of your eye and curls upward.
2. Colored Eyeliner (What you NEED to know)
1. Don't just pick your favorite color -
It's tempting to be like, "OH, I LOVE BLUE. LET'S DO BLUE," but pick a color that will compliment (not match) your eye color. If you have green eyes, go for browns, creams, gold, purple. If you have brown eyes, blues and olive greens are especially flattering. If you have hazel eyes, purple will bring out any green in your eyes.
2. Keep the rest of your look really simple -
This might seem obvious, but I think the main reason colored eye makeup so often looks tacky is that it's paired with teased hair, and glossy lips, and heels, and a metallic dress, and a statement necklace. I happen to think colored eye makeup looks best when it's just paired with a high ponytail or loose waves and natural makeup.
