How I Do My Eyeliner +Basic Eye Makeup Tutorial



Hello all!!
How are you all doing??
Its been a long time (i Guess 2 weeks or more) since i posted any tutorial so i am back with One!!
I posted a picture of a very simple look with edgy eyeliner and a bold lip and many of you asked me how i did that so here i am explaining every step and it is actually a different look but the Eyeliner is same.
I did a very basic eye makeup and a bold eyeliner so you can actually go for any lip colour with this either a bold bright or a dark or even a neutral lip(according to your preference)



Step By Step Guide




So the first thing you wanna do is applying a primer all over your lids and i am actually just using a moisturiser because i wanted to see how my new eyshadows work without any eyeprimer.
And trust me a little amount goes a long way!
Then i took this shade from my new Makeup Revolution Nudes and smoked Palette and this is my base shadow (its a little lighter than my actual skin colour) and i applied it all over my eyes with this brush from Claire's and i buffed this shadow into my lid and browbone and i applied the same shadow on my lower lash line area too just to brighten the area!




Then i took a pencil brush and i applied a dark warm brown shadow onto my crease creating a sharp line as shown. (for those who don't know what is a crease - it is the area where our eyeball and browbone meets) and for those wo dont have a crease at all they can actually fake a crease by this technique i am using! just draw a line with a darker brown shadow as i did and blend it lightly upwards so that there is no harsh lines and hold the brush straight as i did or a little upwards then it is easier to blend!!




Then i took this shadow on my fluffy brush and make sure its clean and has no residue from the previous colour and i applied this light colour just above my crease colour to create a transition!

In the picture its actually looking like i have spreaded the shadow all over but it was just due to bad lightning -_- and that is the reason why i dont like to work in the evening time.so dont be confused because i have just blended the shadow up towards my browbone.

Then i am taking this colour (it seems like a pale champagne colour to me!) and i carefully applied it onto my lids only and to my browbone for a shimmery highlight.




Before Moving onto the main part i have some rules for you!! I usually don't follow or make rules when it comes to makeup but to make it easier for you i have to! And You also have to follow these rules! :D

Rules For A Perfect Liner Application 

1.Start with a Little product always and keep on adding if you need to.

2.Work in small strokes.
And thats it for the rules!!



See how i started!!
I started by applying a thin line from the outer corner of my upper lashline (i am not joining it to my lower lashline) and i created this line using small strokes!! Do not try to create line at once because that wont be perfect then.

Then i pulled my wing back and as you can see its not that thick because i am following my second rule i am working in small strokes and making it thicker by adding little product at a time!

it is easier when you work with small product at a time because if you do any mistake you can correct it easily and you can see how thick you want your liner to be but if you add more at a time thats not gonna work and will look messy!

And i am thickning my liner from the outside corners (sort of making a triangle because i want the liner to be edgy and not a soft one) and then i came in onto my lids but i took it only halfway in and the inner half lid is empty.
If you have smaller or hooded eyes then this trick is for you because by leaving the half area blank your eyes look bigger and i don't have smaller eyes but still i am doing it because i like it that way!



And then i curled my lashes and applied a coat of mascara to my lashes!! i used Maybelline hyper curl volume express mascara on to my upper and lower lashes and i dont have any liner or kohl on my lower lashline and i went in with this creamy shimmer shadow from the same palette and applied it to my lower lashline using an angular brush and thats it for the eyes!!

Now you can pair this up with a light foundation or just a bb cream and whatever lip colour you like! And we are done!!



And sorry for a long post but I still dont have a YouTube channel and i want to explain every little step in depth which makes my posts so long!

And if you liked this then share it with your friends and family and if you recreate this then tag me in your pictures i would love to see your recreations and you can tag me on my Facebook page HERE and My Instagram HERE and i ll see you soon!!!
