How to Facilitate the Use of Liquid Eyeliner?

14.07.2021

Many have never learned how to draw arrows because at the first attempts they dealt with liquid eyeliner. It is not so easy to use it - but only at first glance.

1) Apply eyeshadows as a base

Relationship with liquid eyeliner often does not add up due to the fact that it is applied to the "naked" eyelid. The skin in this place, as a rule, is rather slippery, so the eyeliner blurs and spreads - in a word, there is no need to talk about even arrows. The way out is to prepare the skin of the eyelid with a primer with a matting effect or apply some shadows on it. Hot Singles from NYX Professional Makeup come in handy.

Draw liquid eyeliner on a dry surface will be much easier.

2) Draw a rough draft of the arrow

Drawing perfect arrows using liquid eyeliner with a firm hand takes practice - long, hard and patient. Pencil arrows are much easier for many. Try to mark the future arrows first with a pencil (use brown - the lines will be easier to correct), and then circle them with liquid eyeliner. Try the Maybelline New York Gigi Collection Pencil.

3) Apply the eyeliner with strokes

Drawing the arrow of your dreams without taking your hands off your eyelids is not an easy task. Draw a line with strokes. Start at the middle of your eyelid and slowly work your way up to the outer corner of your eye. If the hand trembles and the line turns in the wrong direction, it will be easier to correct the mistake.

4) Replace the factory brush

In tubes with liquid eyeliner, thin and long brushes are most often found, which are not very convenient to draw with. Use a different arrow brush - short, dense and firm, but still flexible. If it has a beveled edge, you can handle the arrows even faster. Check out NYX Professional Makeup's Pro Brash Angled Eyeliner.

5) Correct mistakes with water

If you need to correct the line drawn by the liquid liner, do not use the liquid make-up remover. It will dissolve the liner, which will cause the arrow to flow: you will have to wash off all your eye makeup. Take a cotton swab and moisten it with water to line up the resulting line.

6) Use beauty life hacks

Is your skill still not allowing you to draw a flawless arrow with an even, sharp "tail" on the eyelid? Feel free to use helper tricks. Glue a piece of paper tape to the outer corner of the eye at the angle you would like to draw the ponytail. Another option is to attach a credit card or an old business card to your eyelid.
