5 Ways To Keep The Eyeliner On For Hours
Eyeliner is a necessary aspect of your makeup routine but if you are frustrated with the way your eyeliner comes off within a short period of time when you cry, sweat or get wet in the rain, do not get frazzled because there are ways to keep your eyeliner on for hours. The first step is buying the best eyeliner and waterproof eyeliners are the best because they do not creaee or smudge as easily as mainstream eyeliners. Here are 5 other ways to keep the eyeliner on for hours.
1. Clean Your Eyelids
When you clean your eyelids, you make it easier to keep the eyeliner on the eyelids longer. Another reason you should clean your eyelids before applying the eyeliner is because you decrease smudging and creasing on the eyelids. You can wash the eyelids with a facial cleanser and then add skin moisturizer to the eyelids.
2. Put On Eyeshadow Before Applying Eyeliner
This is essential in making the eyeliner last because when you put on powder before putting on the eyeliner, you decrease chances of smudging when you apply the eyeliner. Choose an eyeshadow that is in a color that blends with your eyeliner color and that matches your eye color. When you put the eyeliner on your eyelids, you should dab small amounts of eyeshadow over it for extra protection.
3. Wear Concealer
You want wear concealer under your eyelids and right above your eyelids because concealer prevents smudges from the eyeliner and it enables you to keep the eyeliner on longer without having to reapply the eyeliner frequently during the day. Look for a concealer that matches your skin tone and that is thick enough to cover your skin’s flaws before putting on the eyeliner.
4. Avoid Eyeliner That Is Oily
If you have naturally oily skin, you want to choose eyeliner that is not very oily because when you wear oily eyeliner, your eyeliner is more likely to smudge and crease, and it will not last a long time. There are eyeliners on the market that are designed for those with oily skin that you can purchase. If you have skin allergies, a non-oily eyeliner may also be a good choice for you.
5. Use Dark Eyeshadow Before Applying Eyeliner
When you apply a dark-colored eyeshadow before putting on the eyeliner, you reduce chances of smudging your eyeliner and your eyes will have a uniform look overall. After you apply the eyeshadow and the eyeliner, remove all excess eyeliner from your eyelids.
7 Tips On How To Put On Eyeliner The Right Way
The most popular and favourite make up of girls :)
1. LIQUID OR PENCIL EYELINER?
If you want a subtle and laid-back look to your eyes, you should use a pencil eyeliner and here is how you would apply it. Start by purchasing a smudge-free pencil eyeliner and then after this you would draw a line on the upper area of your eyelids and then go from the inner to outer part of your upper eyelids. For the bottom part of the eyelids, you would draw a line going from the outer to the inner part. If you want a bolder look, you would wear liquid eyeliner and to apply it, you would place a mirror in front of you then move your head back slightly. Then you would apply the liquid eyeliner the same way you would for the pencil eyeliner.
2. USE THE BEST EYELINER COLOR FOR SKIN TONE AND PREFERENCE
If you want to apply eyeliner the right way, you should use an eyeliner color that matches your skin tone or personal preference and this may not always mean black or blue eyeliner. For example, if you are wearing a red and white outfit, you may decide to wear red liquid eyeliner to complement the outfit. Or if you have blue-green eyes, navy eyeliner is a good choice.
3. APPLY EYESHADOW BEFORE APPLYING THE EYELINER
This common trick works all the time and the purpose of applying eyeshadow on the eyelids before you put on the eyeliner is for the eyeliner not to smudge or come off easily during the day, particularly during the summer. When putting on the eyeshadow, consider the current season and the color of the eyeliner you intend to use or your eye color.
4. EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT EYELINER STYLES
You will have more fun with eyeliner application if you experiment with different eyeliner styles. If you are not sure which eyeliner styles are right for you, read a few beauty magazines on the topic. If you are into goth designs, you can draw swirls of black or dark brown eyeliner around the corners of your eyes. For a fairy look, you can wear designs of insects or flowers around the eyes.
5. HOLD EYELINER TIGHTLY
When you hold eyeliner tightly as you apply it, you reduce chances of making mistakes while you put on the eyeliner.
6. EYELINER GEL
Another way to use eyeliner is to buy eyeliner gel because it creates less of a hassle than liquid eyeliner. To apply eyeliner gel, you want to only put a medium-sized amount of it on the top of your eyelids and then you want to draw a line on the eyelid and then go over it with a second coat of the eyeliner gel.
7. USE HIGH QUALITY EYELINER
This is important because when you use the best eyeliner, your eyes will look fantastic and the eyeliner generally stays on longer since it was created with high quality material.
8 Tips For Putting On Makeup If You Have Dark Skin
Women with dark skin can pull off blush beautifully on their skin and they have the freedom to experiment with bolder colors for blush more than those with pale or olive skin. If you are choosing a blush, you want to choose a blush with a deep red, deep orange, violet or green overtone. Avoid dark earth tones for blush such as dark brown, tan or beige.
2. GET THE SHIMMER FOR EYE MAKEUP
If you have dark skin, you have the ability to wear shimmer on your eyes and you can buy glittery eyeshadow and eyeliner in metallic gold, metallic silver, blue, dark purple and green. In addition, you can also buy glittery mascara if you want the illusion of larger eyelashes but be careful not to have too much glittery makeup all over the eyes because you will look like a clown.
3. NO RED OR PINK LIPSTICK ALLOWED
Red or pink lipstick or lip gloss should not be worn on the lips of those with dark skin. Instead you want to wear a lipstick in an earth tone such as mocha, burgundy, dark orange or a light purple. Avoid shiny lipstick and instead wear matte-style lipstick.
4. USE FOUNDATION AND CONCEALER
Those with dark skin should wear foundation and concealer if they have uneven skin tones on the face. It gets hard to find foundation and concealer that is tailored to those with dark skin and if this is your case, you should look for the foundation and concealer that best matches your skin tone. Apply the concealer underneath the eyes since puffiness sometimes appear under the eyes
5. CONSIDER BROWN MASCARA
Brown mascara is better for dark-skinned women because it gives you the illusion of bigger eyelashes and it complements your skin tone and your eye color, particularly if you have brown or greenish eyes. When you put on the brown mascara, do not put on too much of it so that you will have a natural look for the eyes.
6. SHAPEN YOUR EYEBROWS
In order to achieve the best look with your makeup, you want to maintain your eyebrows and you can do this by waxing or tweezing your eyebrows then arching them to the shape you want. When you have neatly shaped eyebrows, you bring out the eyes and your eyes appear larger. You can also tint the eyebrows dark brown.
7. KEEP YOUR FACE MOISTURIZED
Before you apply the makeup, you want to keep your face clean and moisturized. Start by washing your face with a facial cleanser and then put on a facial moisturizing lotion to soften your face. Wait fifteen to twenty minutes.
8. EXPERIMENT WITH NEW MAKEUP STYLES
You can also wear a variety of makeup styles as a person with dark skin. You can choose from the bohemian look, Arabian style, fairy-inspired makeup styles or even punk rock makeup styles. Read beauty magazines to get some inspiration.
