Start by resting the elbow of the arm you’ll use to apply your eyeliner on a flat surface in front of a mirror. If you have shaky hands, this tip will aid you in drawing a straight line. “Holding makeup brushes towards the end instead of close near the actual hairs gives you way more control and fluidity of the brush itself,” says Jessica. The following technique is ideal for beginners or those with shaky hands, and works especially well on monolid, round, and almond eye shapes. If you haven’t had much practice with liquid eyeliner, never fear-we’re here to take the guesswork out of your eyeliner application. But, if you mess up, it isn’t anything a little q-tip and makeup remover can’t fix. “A fun tip that I tell anyone who is struggling with liner is to apply it with your eyes open! Nothing is worse than doing your best liner job and then opening your eyes and seeing it transferred all over your lid,” says Jessica.

How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner if You’re.a Beginner

Of course, deciding to use a liquid liner with a brush tip or felt tip will depend on the type of look you’re trying to create, and your level of comfort with each applicator. Because the tip is solid and not made up of bristles (like a brush-tip applicator is), felt-tip liquid eyeliners can have a higher color payoff (that is, the pigment will appear darker on your skin) and can be easier for beginners to control, especially if you’re going after a sharp, more defined cat-eye look. Felt-Tip Liquid EyelinersĮyeliners like MORPHE’s Felt-Tip Liquid Liner are stiffer than liquid liners with brush tips, and as such, are great for creating thick, intense winged eyeliner looks. “I feel brushes are easier for me solely because you can control the amount of product on the brush! With some liner pens once you apply the product, sometimes too much can be released with the felt tip, which then can throw off your whole liner application,” says Jessica. For this reason, brush-tip liquid eyeliners can take a bit more practice for beginners to get the hang of, but are excellent for creating varying eyeliner widths-whether you’re going for a thicker, bolder wing or just a thin, elegant sweep across your lash line. These liquid eyeliners, such as KVD VEGAN BEAUTY Tattoo Eyeliner, have loose, flexible bristles that are similar to a paintbrush.
