10 tricks to use the eyeliner perfectly

Are your hands always shaking while applying eyeliner? You need some easy tricks to get you through!

Eyeliners are not just make-up, they are a magical tool to highlight your eyes and complement your features. However, not many of us get it right and end up spoiling most of our eye make-up. We list out some cheat codes to applying your eyeliner with much ease:

1. Join the dots

If your hands aren't too steady with the design and you often seem to make a mess, join the dots! Simply begin dotting your eye lid from the outer corner reaching inwards and connect them using a pencil or a roll-on stick. Don't miss out on these 9 different ways to apply eyeliner.

2. Begin from the corners

Also, begin stroking from the outer corner of your eye. You will have a better hold of the design you want, be it winged, straight or simply thick. The stretching bit is made easier with this technique. Doing this also guides your hand easily to achieve the look you want.

3. Apply eye pencil first

Use a pencil for the basic eye-lining first and then trace the design with liquid liner, to avoid untidiness. A combination of two colours can look glamorous for this.

4. Soften rough eye pencil

Is your eye pencil as rough as sand paper? Soften the tip with a blow dryer for not more than 2-3 seconds. This would help give a smoother finishing.

5. Hide eyeliner mistakes with nude colour

Messed up your eyeliner? Invest in nude eyeliner, and cover those spots. This acts as a concealer in a sleek way for your eye make-up. Also, once you are done with your eyeliner, apply some concealer around the eyes to keep your eye make-up in place.

6. Use white on water and line

Replace the black eyeliner with a white pencil for your waterline. This gives a fresher and big eyes appearance. You can also apply the white liner over your eyelids.

7. Use glitter liner over your eyeliner

If you want to glam-up your look in an instant, apply a glitter liner over your black eyeliner. You can also use some shimmery eye shadow as a quick fix. Are you keen on trying fake eyelashes?Here is what you need to know.

8. Replace black with brown eyeliner

Experiment with a brown liner instead of a black one for a softer look. Blend the liner a little more on the eye lids to use it as an eyeshadow.

9. Lock your liner with eyeshadow

The trick to ensure your kajal and eyeliner doesn't smudge out is to brush on some black eyeshadow on your waterline. Your liner will last you much longer. Try on some trendy eyeshadow shades, this season.

10. Use mascara product as liquid liner
