Trouble Applying Eyeliner? Try This!

Due to my holiday the past week, I’ve skipped not one, but two (!!!) Beauty Tip of the Week posts and I apologize! I’ve missed it too much, it’s my favorite type of post to write. Hopefully, this tip will be so useful that you’ll forgive me. ;)

This week I thought that I’d share some of my tips on eyeliner, my all time favorite makeup. Plus, I stumbled upon the image above and was so inspired, I knew I had to write about it – seriously, now that is what I call eyeliner. (By the way, does anyone know who the model is? She’s gorgeous!)

Though I’ve been using eyeliner for almost 7 years now and consider myself to be pretty good at it, when I started out I had no idea what I was doing – drawing a straight line on your upper lash line is harder than it looks! Thankfully, I once read about this tip to make the application easier and of course I’m going to share it with you.

For beginners to eyeliner (or those with shaky hands), draw several dots across your top lash line, as close to your lashes as possible. Next, play ‘connect the dots’ with short strokes to join them, making it a full line. And don’t worry if it’s not perfect – take a Q Tip and softly smudge the line so it blends nicely. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be applying eyeliner like a pro in no time!

Have you ever tried this method before? If you haven’t I really recommend you try it out – it really makes it easier to apply a straighter line. :) (And if you want even more eyeliner tips, check out my post Makeup 101 – How to Apply Eyeliner!)
