12 common mistakes when eyeliner

The eyeliner seemed to be simple, but the sisters still made many mistakes, making the lines uneven, dirty and unattractive. The article will cover 12 common mistakes when using eyeliner and how to fix them to make you more confident when wearing makeup.

Avoid thick lines

If you want your eyes to look more natural and subtle, don't paint the entire eye with black or put a thick line on the eye. Instead, draw thin lines on the outside of the upper lashes, not the lower lashes. Don't use jet-black pencil, but use lighter black, brown, or bright colors to add glitter to your eyes.

Be careful with the lower eyelid

Avoid heavy underline lashes as it will make your eyes look smaller, not to mention smudging.

Follow the contour

One little tip to make sure your eyeliner lines are balanced is to draw contours with white eyeliner pencils. When you're satisfied you can use the water-based eyeliner to follow the contour, and then delete the border.

Mirror

Most women look directly in the mirror when eyeliner, this leads to a distorted line, who doesn't close their eyelashes, leaving a gap. Try to keep the mirror low and look down at it, so you can make sure the eyeliner is very close to the lashes.

Avoid dry eyeliner

Very dry pencil will pull on the skin of the eye, leaving smudges and sometimes even scratching the eyelids. It is best to use a soft pencil. If the pencil is too dry, you can place it over the lighter twice, let it cool for about 5 seconds before using it. However, it is best to change the lead.

Change with weather

For lower lashes, use a non-smudging mascara to last longer, especially when it's wet or rainy. Avoid brushing too much mascara on your lower lids or it will pull down your lids, making you look tired and old. If it is wet, just use a pencil, or brush a little mascara to highlight lashes at the ends of the eyes.

Variations according to mood

If you experience eye strain, or if your eyes are swollen or red, avoid a red or brown colored lead eyeliner. Blue pencil will make your eyes look white, while black and gray are neutral so you can use it in any case.

Eyeshadow should be in harmony with the eyeshadow and eye color

As mentioned above, neutral colors like black and gray are suitable for all eyeshadows. Avoid using pencil that contrasts with the eyeshadow. Thin eyeliner will highlight eyeshadow. Use a soft pencil or eyeliner for easy and precise drawing.

Don't be too aggressive

Unless it's a special occasion, it's best not to darken the entire eye. Black and thick eyeliner requires a firm and professional hand, avoiding getting smeared and distorted. In general, this type of makeup is definitely not for those who are just starting out.

Never clip eyelashes after eyeliner

Clipping the eyelashes after eyeliner discolor the lead on the base of the eyelashes. Remember to clamp your eyelashes before applying eyeliner.

Never stretch the eyelids when tracing

This is a fatal mistake. Using your fingers to stretch the eyelids will change the shape of the eyes and also make the skin dull and prone to wrinkles. The sensitive skin around the eyes needs careful care. When eyeliner, place the mirror at chest level, do not lower your head but keep your chin straight, look down into the mirror while eyeliner.

Pointed lead

Always use a pointed eyeliner. Start with the upper lashes, the thickest line at the end of the eye. Gently smudge the line so that there is no separation between the lashes and the eyelids. After finishing, apply the eyeshadow and then apply mascara.
