Beautiful lines are essential to any eye makeup. Learning to draw them yourself is not difficult, the main thing is not to be lazy to try.The first step is to decide what to draw, and then follow simple step-by-step instructions.
Pencil eyeliner
It is believed that it is easier to learn how to draw lines with pencil. It is important that the pencil:
- is sharp; before sharpening, you can put it in the fridge for 30 seconds;
- stays sharp, while being able to move easily on the skin;
- doesn't smear as if it were melted;
- does not scratch the delicate skin of the eyelid.
Step 1: before drawing the line it is advised to apply primer or powder foundation on the eyelid
Step 2: draw the line from the inner corner of the eye to the outside, touching the roots of the eyelashes.
Step 3: draw the end of the line from the outer corner of the eye. Try doing so with a light touch. For smooth drawing, you can use another pencil or a regular ruler. Beauty bloggers also use a small piece of regular scotch tape.
Step 4: make sure lines on both sides are symmetrical.
Step 5: draw the line from the end of the eyeliner and along the entire ciliary contour. Adjust the thickness of the line.
Liquid eyeliner
Liquid eyeliner is especially good if you want to draw smooth, clear lines without sharp edges or blurring. In addition, the eyeliner makes it possible to draw a neat, thin line. Of all the existing types of eyeliners, the most convenient are eyeliners with a thick brush or a tip that looks like a marker.
Step 1: To draw a thin line, start drawing the line in reverse order: from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. If you are doing this for the first time, make thin dots along the eyelash line that will serve as guides.
Step 2: connect the end of the lien and the contour line along the eyelashes, drawing an additional stroke.
Step 3: In order to add intensity, draw in white spaces between the eyelashes with a black pencil.
Eyeshadow
If you are drawing lines with eyeshadow, it is best to draw such a line after applying the eyeshadow base. For an even and clear line, you will also need a special brush with bevelled edges. A similar brush for the eyebrows can do as well.
Step 1: very lightly moisten the brush with water, however, make sure that it does not become wet.
Step 2: Dip the brush in shadow on both sides. To prevent shadow from flaking, remove the excess product by wiping it off with your hand.
Step 3: holding the brush as close as possible to the line of growth of the eyelashes, draw a line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one. Make a sharp "tail", continuing the line past the edge. If the first time did not work, you do not need to get upset. A thick, uneven line, as well as an asymmetrical "tail" can be corrected with a cotton swab with a small amount of micellar water.
