Ever ended up with uneven eyeliner wings. Been there. Remember, start with small strokes and build up gradually. Smudged liner, ruining your look. Set it with a translucent powder. And if you are struggling with shaky hands, rest your elbow on a flat surface for steady application. Don’t worry we all have been there, but this article will give these tips and by using them you will nail that perfect wing in no time.
1. Shaky Lines:
Mistake: Your lines look shaky because your hand is not steady.
Fix: Rest your elbow on a desk to steady your hand. Try making small dots along your lash line, then join them. This helps you in creating a clean line.
2. Uneven Wings:
Mistake: One wing is higher or longer than the other.
Fix: Use a small piece of tape to guide you. Stick the tape from the corner of your eye in the direction of your eyebrow, and draw along the edge. This trick helps you to get even wings.
3. Smudging:
Mistake: Your eyeliner smudges and makes your eyes look messy.
Fix: Choose a smudge-proof eyeliner. Before making use of it, use an eye-shadow primer or a bit of powder on your eyelids to keep the eyeliner in place all day.
4. Too Thick Lines:
Mistake: Your eyeliner seems too thick and heavy.
Fix: Start with a thin line near your lashes and add more if wanted. If it’s too thick, use a cotton swab with a touch of makeup remover to thin it out.
5. Gaps between Liner and Lashes:
Mistake: There are gaps between your eyeliner and lashes, making it look unfinished.
Fix: After making use of the eyeliner, go back and fill in any gaps. You also can line the upper waterline (tightening) to make your lashes look fuller.
6. Not Matching Eyeliner to Eye Shape:
Mistake: The eyeliner does not suit your eye form, making your eyes look odd.
Fix: Adjust your eyeliner style to your eye shape. For example, if your eyes are hooded, hold the line thin and thicken it at the outer corners to open up your eyes.
7. Ignoring the Lower Lash Line:
Mistake: You only line the top lashes, making your makeup appearance unbalanced.
Fix: Lightly line your lower lashes or smudge some eye-shadow for a softer look. This balances your makeup and completes your appearance.
8. Using the Wrong Eyeliner Type:
Mistake: The eyeliner you are using is too tough to control.
Fix: Start with pencil or gel eyeliner in case you are a beginner. They are less complicated to use than liquid liners. Once you are comfortable, you may attempt other types.
9. Skipping the Clean-Up:
Mistake: You do not fix any errors, so your eyeliner doesn’t look neat.
Fix: Keep a few makeup remover and cotton swabs close by to ease up any smudges or uneven strains. A little bit of concealer also can help tidy up the edges.
Final Thoughts:
Keep practicing! Don’t worry if it takes time to get it right. With these tips, you’ll soon be able to apply eyeliner like a pro. Keep going, and remember, everyone starts somewhere!
