Mastering the art of drawing eyeliner takes time and effort. However, with enough practice, you could nail it with no problem at all! Ten years back, the application of eyeliner was completely different! As opposed to the popular winged eyeliner on the top now, girls used to wear eyeliner on both their top tide line and their bottom water line. However, with sufficient practice they got it right in no time!

Today the craze is all about the top eyelids. Whether it is a natural look, the Korean puppy eyes or the winged liner, the top eyelids are given the most attentions as it is known to affect your gaze which is extremely imperative for styling your whole look.

So if you want to know how to accentuate your gaze into a sharp and powerful one that gains attention from across the room, here are some basic tips and tricks to update your eyeliner application!

1. Basic level: Lining your eyes smoothly

Lining the eyes isn’t as difficult after all! You could start with either a gel or pencil liner for better control as compared to a liquid one. For those who are afraid of messing up, here is a tip for you! Start off from the inner corners of your eyes by tightening the first half of your lids and then glide your pencil towards the ends. If you end up smudging it along the way, simply use a cotton bud to clean the mess and use a foundation to cover it up thereafter!

To get your eyeliner game on point, it is extremely important to know the different way of drawing it based on your eye shape. If you would prefer to have a more rounded eye look, perhaps have a slightly thicker lining at the middle part of your top eyelids. If you want to have a more elongated eye look, perhaps concentrating on the ends of the eyelids might work!

Now if you have mastered the basic levels of eyeliner application, then perhaps it’s time for you to play around with different styles such as double winged liner. For a perfect liner, as important as your lining skills, the quality and type of your eyeliner is as equally important. For an effortless look, perhaps a matte black shadow will work as it is easy to smudge and blend.
