It seems that there are hardly any tricks that can keep makeup on to survive a long night without smudging and a ‘stylish black eye’. The condition of our eye makeup may depend on several factors. Skin type is only one of these, it’s not a novelty that those who have an oily complexion struggle with the fading of mascaras, eye shadows and eyeliners due to the sebum that might pile up on the lids and other critical spots.
The only way to avoid the disasters is to learn some basic tricks that can banish the melting of our party or casual makeup. Eyeliners are key details to emphasize our radiant look. Skipping them wouldn’t save our makeup from going off, that’s why there’s no need for such sacrifices. Instead, take some preventive actions to keep your appearance spotless even when exposed to hot weather or other harmful effects. Learn how to make eyeliner stay with a few basic steps.
Primers are one of the must have elements of a pro makeup kit. Before applying the base, it is important to keep all moisturizers away of the eyelids and the area around the eyes.
Indeed, this miraculous beauty product is able to neutralize and cover the eyelids with a protective layer that practically ‘absorbs’ the makeup and secures its long-lasting effect.
First of all apply it to your eyes and wait until it dries completely. Then you’ll have free hand to put on the eye shadow and the eyeliner.
The golden rule when applying eyeliner is to start at the outer corner and proceed towards the inner one. This will secure the proper application of the makeup.
It is also essential to stay as close as possible to the curly eyelashes in order for these to preserve the main amount of eyeliner.
It is also recommended to use a pencil rather than the liquid eyeliner first. The first coat will draw the line and will also add the perfect coverage to preserve the eyeliner. Liquid eyeliners might have a more eye-popping effect, still beyond question these are more prone to smudging and melting. Pencil eyeliners can also fade due to their soft and smooth texture. Use these two wise beauty products together for the desired effect.
Finally, use a soft eyeshadow brush and apply some translucent powder over the eyeliner. Make sure you use only a small amount of it so that it won’t crease or spoil the effect of the whole makeup. This is the ultimate coverage that will secure the flawless and breath-taking effect of both your casual and party makeup. Top your look with a tint of mascara to have dazzling and curly lashes.
As an additional advice it is highly recommended to use pencil eyeliners to the lower lashes and keep the liquid one for the upper part. Practice is key to perfect your technique, always keep the lids tight, looking downwards into your makeup mirror, so that the line is drawn perfectly and you won’t pile up the makeup products.
