Applying eyeliner is a wonderful way to accentuate the eyes. Though most women would like for it to be as simple as drawing a line around the eyelid, there is more to it than that. Follow these steps to learn how to apply eyeliner appropriately to complete your look.

Certain colors of eyeliner look better with your eye color than others. You will also want to choose an eyeliner color that will work well with your shadow color choice. For those with blue eyes, the following eyeliner colors are common choices: brown, navy, and charcoal. For those with green eyes, the following eyeliner colors are common choices: brown, charcoal. For those with brown eyes, the following eyeliner colors are common choices: brown or plum shades.

Traditional pencils, on the other hand, have a greater presence on the market which means you have more choices (always a good thing) in color and texture. The downside of this type of eyeliner is that if the eye is not prepped properly, the creamier types can bleed- either on the lower lash line or around the eye. In order to prevent this, use an eyeshadow base (even if you are just wearing liner) set with powder.

If you choose to use a pencil, you will have to prepare the pencil for use as an applicator. Sharpen the pencil and then blunt the sharp pointed end of make up so that the pointed pencil will not hurt you, especially if you are new to applying this. This small precaution will save you the grief of poking your eye or eye area with a pointed object.

Apply eyeliner to the inside line of the lashes. This is a surefire way to make you look older - permanently. In order to accomplish this feat, one must pull down the tissue of the eye to get the liner on the inside of the lash line. The delicate tissue around your eyes cannot handle this kind of trauma on a daily basis. Doing so will create wrinkles and stretch out the skin around your eyes.

If you are looking for a bolder look, no matter what your complexion you buy a darker eyeliner color and instead of stopping the line ¾ of the way across the lid, going all the way across from the inside corner to the outside corner can create the dramatic look you are looking for that special night on the town. By combining this dramatic eyeliner technique with the smoky grey or black eye shadow across the liner you added as the crease of your eye lid you have created a simple and dramatic look for any event.

Wash your face clean and dry. Apply the foundation that blends well with your skin tone and go for the eye shadow next. Brush up nice clean strokes of the color that appeals to you in such a way that it amalgamates well with your skin. If it looks flaky or smudged up, dab off the excess shadow and redo the exercise for a better finish. Then take your liner and draw a clean line on your upper eye lid to give your eyes a good shape. Finally with the help of the kohl pencil, draw a line on the inside of the lower lid and check yourself out in the mirror.

Occasionally you might decide to attend an event that is so outlandish that you are stuck for something new and different to do with your eye makeup. If you are wondering how to wear eyeliner for an event that calls for costumes then consider it a time to go really wild. Try using one color on top with the opposite color below. Think about creating styles with movie star eyeliner looks.
