Question:

How do I go about applying liquid eyeliner properly? It always ends up looking wobbly and uneven. from Amber

Answer:

Applying neat, seamless looking liner can be tricky. Sometimes I get it spot-on and other times I have to remove it all and start again. Luckily, the best advice is always at my finger tips.  Simone Bush, Senior Makeup Artist (Napoleon Perdis National Core Creative Team) gave me the following tips for perfectly lined eyes.

#1 When applying liquid eyeliner its best to start by using a fine, short haired brush or a fine angled brush. Ensure the liquid eyeliner consistency is not too watery as this tends to run more easily.  A nice opaque consistency is always best for liquid eyeliner.

#2 Don’t attempt apply your liquid eyeliner in one continuous line, instead apply the eyeliner by feathering short strokes along the upper lashline.

#3 You can also try raising the eyebrow of the closed eye you are working on or lifting the eye area with your free hand so the skin is taut.  This makes for a smoother area to work on along the upper lashline.

  Whats wrong with egyptians? Pretty sure they started/invented a lot of really good make-up trends back in the day.

  Psshh, I've used it every day for three years. It's really not that hard, you've just got to get the hang of it. A really good-quality eyeliner makes a huge difference, so try Lancome or Chanel. That's what I usually use. NB: Oh, and for the record Hayley, please, learn how to spell honey. I never knew 'sixy' was an adjective. Don't blame typing because 'i' is nowhere near 'e' on a qwerty keyboard.

  I read a great tip about this a while ago that helped me. Always apply it in a thicker line than you want to wear and use a cotton bud dipped in makeup remover to evenly thin the line out.
