To apply the eye pencil, pull your lid away from the eye extremely gently using 1 or 2 fingers and draw a line along the inner eye rims. Do the same with both the lower and upper lids. To make a sharpened pencil softer and simpler to apply, you can draw some lines first on the back of your hand. This could melt the tip and get the color flowing. Kohl can be applied in the same way with marvelous effect.
Using either a sponge-tipped applicator, eyeshadow brush, or perhaps your fingertip, mix the color by smudging it to make a hazy effect. For an even stronger, more intense effect, apply your chosen color round the eyes in either cream, liquid or powder form. If you would like to use liquid eyeliner, once you have mastered the strategy of applying it, this is often a fast technique of achieving a striking and elegant look. But applying liquid eyeliner can take a bit of practice. To start, it is smart to be in front of a good magnifying mirror, so that your eyes are magnified satisfactorily to see awfully obviously what you are about to do and guarantee a smooth application of the liquid eyeliner.
Then, using your free hand, start by pulling the eyelid taut. If you are right-handed it's probably most simple for you to start applying the liquid from left-to-right, as if you're writing, and vice versa if you're left-handed. Draw across in a single continuing fine line. If you would like a thicker line then, at the end of the run, simply retrace. Applying liquid eyeliner does take a bit of practice, so have a bottle of makeup remover to hand until you are assured in the method. As one says : practice is essential, and with a little tenacity and a steady hand you will soon be achieving some great effects.
