You would certainly agree with us - drawing the perfect eyeliner is truly a supreme discipline. So what are the most common eyeliner mistakes most of us make?
No matter how many YouTube tutorials you watch and try to recreate, you just can't get the perfect eyeliner. Applying eyeliner is not an easy task and even experienced professionals don't always do it perfectly. Practice usually makes perfect, but there are still a few eyeliner mistakes that ruin all our efforts.
You should avoid these eyeliner mistakes
An eyeliner is always a great eye-catcher and gives our eye make-up the finishing touch. After we give youa few brilliant make-up tricksWe'll show you the most common eyeliner mistakes we all make.
They don't prepare your skin
We say this all the time, but a good base ensures our makeup stays in place all day. A primer is essential, especially when it comes to eye make-up, but is often forgotten and is therefore one of the biggest eyeliner mistakes. Creamy primers can be easily applied to the entire eyelid with your finger and ensure that the eyeliner lasts a long time and doesn't smudge.
You pull your eyelid
You would think it would make sense to pull the eyelid to make the skin smooth and taut, right? Well, this is actually one of the biggest eyeliner mistakes that almost every woman makes. UmEyeliner rightInstead, lift your chin while looking down in the mirror. If you are a complete newbie, paint the eyeliner step by step and then very carefully fill in the gaps.
You're using the wrong eyeliner
Gel, liquid or pen? Eyeliners are now available in a wide variety of versions and with the huge selection, you can quickly lose track. Each of the formulas mentioned has its own benefits and what you use depends on your preferences and experience.
Eyeliner pencils tend to be easier to apply and blend better, making them a great choice for any beginner. If you feel more confident, you could try a liquid eyeliner. But no matter which product you choose, we would recommend that you always choose a waterproof eyeliner.
Too much space between eyeliner and lash line
This is also a common eyeliner mistake that many of us make. The perfect eyeliner gives our eyes an expressive look and makes the lash line look visually thicker. However, this only works if we apply the eyeliner correctly. The magic word is: tightlining. Close your eyes, lift your eyelashes slightly and apply the eyeliner to the upper waterline or as close as possible to the eyelashes.
Close your eyes while doing cat-eye
The popular cat-eye look always makes a dramatic statement and will probably never go out of style. But anyone who has ever tried it knows how difficult it is to achieve the perfect cat eye look. And here comes an eyeliner mistake that may be to blame. Don't close your eyes when applying eyeliner, otherwise you won't be able to see where the crease falls at the corner of your eye. So to ensure that the lines are the same on both sides, keep your eyes wide open when doing a cat eye.
Applying too much eyeliner
Naturalness is in vogue and less is more when it comes to make-up. So keep your look reserved and don't apply too much eyeliner. Also limit yourself mainly to the upper or lower eyeliner, because eyeliner on the lower eyelid visually draws the eyes down and makes them smaller. Alternatively, instead of black eyeliner, you could use a lighter color such as white or pink - this will automatically open the eye and add an exciting touch.
