Applying Eyeliner
Application requires a steady hand. If you find it difficult to apply liner with precision, try drawing it on using small feathered stokes and the blend with a fine-tipped brush or the point of a cotton bud. To make things easier, put a mirror on a flat surface and then work looking down into it. As an alternative to the visible pencil line on the eyes, try a join-the-dots approach. Dot pencil between the lashes and then run over the dots with a fine-tipped brush. If you do not have a eye pencil to hand, use a damp fine-tipped brush and paint on eyeshadow in a thin line. If you have naturally pale lashes but cannot reach the roots with a mascara wand, use liquid eyeliner, dabbing it on to cover them. It is woth investing in a white-eyeliner: it could save the day on many occasions.
If you are tired and your eyes don’t look particularly sparkly, run a white-pencil along the inner rim of the lowe lash line. You will instantly look more awake and the whites of your eyes will appear brighter. It can also make small eyes appear larger. Never lend eye pencils to other people, as this is one of the quickest ways to spread germs. If you have an eye infection, replace eye pencils and mascaras to avoid reinfecting the eyes. Sharpen pencils regularly to ensure that points are clean.
