| Beauty Tip of the Day - How to Apply Liquid Liner |
• Choosing a good liquid liner is crucial. It should be a quick-dry formula, so smudges are less likely, and it should have a soft tip that tapers slightly at the end. The color should also be rich—test it on the back of your hand and make sure you can draw a very dark line.
• First, trace the upper lashes with an eye pencil or a damp liner brush dipped in shadow, getting as close to the lashes as possible. Once you've got the perfect line, trace over it with a liquid formula. To keep your hand steady, rest your elbow on a table and keep a light grip on the brush.
• If your eyes are close together, leave the inner corner bare and highlight it with a pale shimmery shadow. Extend the line at the outer corners, finishing just beyond the edge of the lash line—the farther out, the more dramatic the look. This makes close-set eyes appear to have more space between them. For eyes that are wide-set, the opposite holds true. Line the eyes all the way to the inner corner and don't extend the line at the outer corners. If you're wearing liquid liner for day, be sure the line is fine—no heavy streaks—and match your mascara to the liner.
• Skip makeup remover when cleaning up mistakes. Instead, saturate a cotton swab with moisturizer, which will remove unwanted liner without affecting the other makeup you've put on.
• To keep the look fresh and modern, the rest of your makeup should be clean, with light concealer and a soft pink blush on the cheeks.
