The selection of the correct eyeliner is very important in giving added depth and more attention to your eyes. The eyeliner shade should be that which suits the color of your eye the most. Light-eyed people may go for brown, gilded bronze and plum shades.

Brown-eyed people should select forest green shade to nicely accentuate their eyes. People with green and blue eyes will look best in silvers and charcoal shaded eyeliners. The lower lash line should be applied with lighter and soft variation of the same shades.

Choose The Type of Eyeliner

This is very important since it depends on the ease and talent with which you can apply eyeliner. There are different varieties of eyeliners available ranging from powder, pencil, or liquid eyeliner.

Choose a Comfortable Position

Use the hand with which you are most comfortable. This will help you a lot in getting steady hand, which is indispensible to get wider and beautiful eyes. You can do the job at ease in a comfortable sitting posture with your elbow resting on a table. If your hands seem shaky that can spoil the whole process, dot your eyeliner along the base of your lashes, instead of stroking a continuous line.

On Upper Lash Line

You should ensure that eyeliner is applied as close to the lash line as possible to give the illusion of thicker eyelashes. Close your eye drag the corner to the outside. Slant your head back a little and take keep eyes to a half-open state.

Use your other hand to apply eyeliner. Stretching the eye may not be required once you master the art. Focus softly but attentively on your eyes in the mirror. Magnifying mirror will be more useful to get the correct boundaries of lash lines.

Start applying eyeliner from the inner corner and trail your eyelash to the outer corner of your eye. To get darker and thicker shade you can apply more layers once the first once gets dry. If the application goes wrong, wait till the line is dry and remove it with eye makeup remover. Edging the outer corner more densely will give a more dramatic effect.

On Lower Lash Line

The same process should be followed for the lower lash lines also. You should outline the lower lash line from the outside edge inward. The eyeliner on the lower lash line should join the back corner of the upper lash line to get more consistent appearance.
