5 mistakes women often make while wearing eye liner

Eyes are a woman’s best feature that brings out your inner self in the most intense way possible. Eyes convey thoughts, emotions and also playfulness. Not to forget, that when it comes to beauty and makeup, our eye makeup can do wonders if done right! And ahem, can do disasters if done the wrong way. Ouch!

Eyeliners, kohl, mascara, and eye shadow—the combination of these when done the right way, can give you the most beautiful pair of eyes that can rob anyone blind with just one look. But as we all know, makeup is an art, and you must not falter in the technique to execute it, because if that happens, trouble happens.

Here are 5 horrible mistakes women often tend to make while wearing their eyeliner—

Eye Liner Tips

Going for darker shades in lower lid and overdoing it

The concept of eye liner is to enhance your eyes and make them look bigger. Often women tend to use darker shades in the lower lids and overdo it, which in turn makes your eyes look smaller, and add to the tragedy, also gives you under eye smudges that really take a lot of scrubbing and makeup remover to get off!

Using only black and brown colors

Yes, we still have the misconception that only black and brown colors are best for our eyes and brows. While it can be definitely true for the latter, for the former, there’s always so much room to experiment! Using nude liners on your lower lids can actually boost your looks, giving you a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. So time to drop the shibboleth of only black and brown, and use some more colors!

Choosing the right brush to avoid uneven drawing

For winged eye liner looks, try using thinner brushes to make your drawings on the corners of the lids proper. Uneven drawings will cause you to undo and redo the liner, and also make your skin crinkle, and we so don’t want that!

Selecting from liquid/gel/pencil

Eye liners always come in variety and many times, we fail to choose the right option that is most appropriate for our eyes. Here are some quick tips:

–  Go for pencil eye liners if you are in a hurry and have just 5 minutes to devote to eye make up

–  Gel eye liners, if you want that glam up look for a party, with all glossy touches

–  Liquid ones if you want to do some experiments like winged, cat eyed style, but ensure that you have time in hand, as this one needs one to be extremely patient and steady to get the best results.

Not smudge proofing your eye liner

This is a mistake most of us make. We forget to smudge proof our eye liner with matching powder shadow. You should make this a routine to apply the shadow after putting on the liner to ensure your eye makeup stays longer and fresher.
