I am
very excited to announce my new “Beauty Mantra
series” on the blog! I have decide to start the series after meeting a girl
in a fashion event who said she likes the beauty tips posts on my blog but is
not aware with the beauty basics. I always talk about which foundation,
eyeliner or nail paint to refer but never realized the fact that there are some
basic skills missing in my posts.
So today I thought to begin with eyeliner knowing which is similar
to whistling with two fingers. When I started applying eyeliner I treated it as
driving swiftly which took some time to master but later on gave me swift ride.
Putting the liner rightly on the eye curve can be bit scary but with the
patience you will be on your way to having a perfect birdie’s winged eyeliner…
Choose your
liner carefully
Well, there is a range of eyeliners available in the beauty
stores. But I personally prefer liquid eyeliner with water proof properties and
can stay for long. Try to find one whose stick is smooth and easy to apply.

time to apply
I don’t want to tell you here and there steps. Just focus on
application.
Step 1:
Start
the eyeliner from inner corners. Apply the liner slowly with the consistency,
don’t press the stick and swipe the liner across the outer corner. Initially
you might feel little shaky but with the practice you will be able to maintain
consistency.
Step2:
When you are swiping out decide yourself where to put a stop, since eye shapes
differ person to person. You can put a stop where your crease ends or can drag
slowly to some point to give a retro look.
If you are pressing the stick during applying eyeliner your
liner will be darker. However, if you are maintaining a thicker curve, you need
to retrace the steps couple of times.
Step3:
Initially you will have traces of liner on your eyes so just clean that with a
cotton swab and make the curve consistent throughout.
Personally I like simple and thick curve for my eyes, but it
gain depends on your eye shape.
Keep Practicing…
It may take you some to time to get the flawless curve.
Initially you can rest your elbow at some point near your mirror to avoid
shakiness of hands. It will give you more control as well as move your hands
swiftly. Even after the practice of years I have seen professions messing up
with liner many time so don’t be demotivated if it didn’t work initially. Keep
trying!!!
If you have any other eyeliner tips do share with our birdie
community. I would love to hear from
you.
