An essential part of our beauty regimens is eyeliner. There is just no cosmetic look we can’t finish without liner, from the most creative graphic looks to a soft flick. It’s a simple technique to draw attention to your eyes, lengthen your lashes, and even awaken your appearance. Of course, it takes practice to perfect a tightline or cat-eye. However, don’t worry if you’re just getting started and have never used eyeliner before. We have a tonne of ideas, tips, and tactics that can help you quickly become an expert at applying eyeliner.

How to do eyeliner for step by step

Step 1: Select your favourite Eyeliner

Pencil, gel, and liquid are all excellent options, but each has a unique use and skill level. The simplest to use and ideal for a daily appearance is the eyeliner pencil. To get a thin, accurate line, just remember to sharpen your pencils on a regular basis. Usually, gel eyeliner is applied with a brush and comes in a pot. These can be more difficult because you have to measure out the exact amount of stuff to use. Gel eyeliner pencils, on the other hand, combine the smooth application of a pencil with the intense, saturated  colour  payoff of a gel. The liquid category includes the most sophisticated liners. Liquid eyeliners are unmatched for producing dramatic eye shapes like cat eyes once you learn the delicacy required for perfect application. For our picks of the best eyeliners for beginners—pencils, liquids, and gels.

Step 2 : Prime Your Lids 
An eyeshadow primer will prepare your lids and produce a smooth, even basis for your eyeliner, no matter what formula you choose. We enjoy the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion because it keeps eye makeup pigmented and crease-free for the whole day.

Step 3: Draw the Line Near Your Lash Line and Thin
Make sure to apply your eyeliner precisely against the lash line when drawing it. Having your base down initially aids in creating a thicker line, but you can easily build it up afterward. Try making the line as thin as possible at the inner corners of your eyes and progressively widening it as you approach the outside corners to make your eyes appear longer.

Step 4: Remember to Blend
For a more natural look, blend out any eyeliner pencil that you may be wearing. This is much easier to do using a dual-ended pencil that has a sponge attachment at the end, but you can also use a smudger brush or your finger to blend your liner. Your line will either be entirely smoked out or slightly softened depending on how much pressure you apply.

Step 5: Use a Cotton Swab to Correct Errors
Don’t worry if you made a mistake; it occurs to everyone. Rather of beginning from scratch, use a cotton swab dipped in micellar water or makeup remover as a gentle eraser to eliminate any mistakes. Just keep in mind that erasing eyeliner while it’s still wet is simpler and less messy than doing it after it dries.

Different style of eyeliner

1. Traditional Wing Liner
The traditional winged liner is an ageless option that never fails to draw attention. It instantly amplifies the drama and elevates your appearance with its sophisticated flick that extends from the outer corner of your eye. For clean, precise lines, use the best liquid eyeliner and a fine brush or felt-tip applicator. Depending on your desire, create a thin or thick wing. Then, apply mascara to achieve a gorgeous cat-eye look.

2. Linear Graphic
The best option for people who enjoy experimenting with striking and edgy styles is graphic liner. You can experiment with forms, angles, and lines in this style to produce distinctive and striking designs. Let your imagination go wild with geometric forms, double lines, or graphic cut creases. To guarantee accuracy and durability, go for a waterproof liquid eyeliner with a thin brush or pen-like tip.

3. Smeared Liner
Your eye makeup looks sensual and smokey when you use a smeared liner style. Line your lash line with a waterproof eyeliner pencil, then use a cotton swab or smudging brush to softly blur the line. This method intensifies the colour of your eyes by giving them a softer, more blended appearance. Apply a lot of mascara and a neutral eyeshadow to create a striking, smoky-eyed look.

4. Vibrant Liner
To give your eye makeup a lively touch, explore useing coloured eyeliners instead of sticking with the classic black colour. Select colours that go well with your skin tone and eye colour. Your eyes can become the centre of attention right away with a waterproof liquid eye liner in rich colours like deep blue, emerald green, or purple. For a dramatic and whimsical appearance, apply a small line at the lash line or go for a full-on multicoloured wing.

5. Liner with Two Wings
By including an additional flick on the inner corner of the eye, the double winged liner elevates the traditional wing to a new level.  For neat, symmetrical lines, use a long-lasting eye liner applied with a precision brush or pen applicator. Try varying the lengths and angles until you achieve the ideal double  winged style that complements your eye shape.

6. The Floating Liner
Floating liner is a cutting-edge and contemporary look that gives the appearance of floating lines above the eyelid crease. Make a thin line on the eyelid or just above the crease, making sure to leave a tiny space between the liner and the lashes. This unique style adds an element of surprise and attracts attention to your eyes. Pair it with minimal makeup and thick lashes for an ethereal and futuristic look.

7. Sparkle Liner
Glitter liner is the best option for giving your eye makeup a glamorous and dazzling look. Select a liquid eyeliner that has small glitter particles and lasts well. For a stunning appearance, apply it over your normal liner or make a sparkly wing. The shimmering embellishments draw the eye and captivate it completely. Make sure the glitter particles are safe for the eye area and use an oil-based makeup remover to gently remove them.

Why is eyeliner a necessary component of makeup? It looks excellent on almost everyone and can modify the look subtly or significantly depending on how you apply it!
