Eyeliner

Getting gorgeous eyeliner

Invest in a quality pointed liner brush. Applying eyeliner with a pointed brush will help you keep the makeup under control and out of your eye! Hold the liner brush just as you would a pencil, using the hand you would usually write with. When you have chosen your desired shade of minerals: dip brush in minerals and slowly run brush across your top lid from outside to inside. Apply the color slowly to a portion of your eye at a time. Rushing can give you an uneven line and even stab you in the eye! Slow and steady is the trick to smooth and gorgeous liner. After you have gotten the knack for mineral liner, you can introduce yourself to the consistency of wet liner.

The Look of Liquid

When you feel confident applying eyeliner and feel you want to move on to the more dramatic and stunning look of liquid, while not exactly liquid, Affordable Mineral Makeup requires the same fun, yet tricky, application process.

When you have chosen your desired shade of minerals: mix a drop of water with the powder (you can use the lid or just the back of your hand) and make a series of small dots across the rim of your upper lid. Then, either smudge these with your finger for a smoky look, or connect the marks with more of the liner. Choosing the last technique will give you dark and sultry eyes, while the first will be a more subtle hint of drama. Both are perfect for a winning evening look, and wet liner goes great with all of eye shadow shades.
If you are going for a very thick line, be sure to start out thin and gradually increase. Wet liner can be quite messy, and it’s better to start out moderately than to gunk up your lids with an unnecessary amount of product.

Eyeliner Oops

If you do make a mistake, have some makeup remover close at hand. If you are touching up in a restroom and don’t have any remover with you, you can remedy your error by applying a dab of foundation or concealer to the area of your lid where the liner is too strong.

Lower lids are also prone to error, so be sure to tread carefully while painting this area. Again, use subtle smudging and light application for lower lids, otherwise you may get raccoon eyes! If for whatever reason you botch your lower lids, again use remover to erase the mistake, or concealer to tone it down.

Learning how to apply eyeliner can be a fun learning experience while enhancing your own natural beauty at the same time. Take time and try different colors to try out different liner looks until you find the one ideal for your style and personality.
