Eyeshadow and eye liner tips please?

when i put it on it never comes out quite right. any tips on how to apply it?Eyeshadow and eye liner tips please?
You'll want to start with the liner first. Dont apply in one stright line, or, if you do, take a q-tip and smudge it across. Next, for a day-time look, use a light shade on your eye lid, next take a darker shade and use it in the crease. Always blend everything. You can also use a translucent white in the inner corner of your eye and right under your eyebrown to reflect the light.

Apply foundation very lightly to your eyelids as you would to the rest of your face. Then use a brush or sponge to apply the inkpot to your eyelids in the shape you desire. Don't coat it on too thick, you don't want to see it through your makeup.





That done, start with your look. It would be great if you had a flat tipped or angled brush for this part, as sponge applicators are not very useful. Select a light loose powder (I recommend Barry M or Gosh, or MAC if you're fortunate enough) and sweep it across your eyelid up to the crease. At the crease, select a dark tone of the same colour, and work it back and forth into the crease of your eye using your brush. It should significantly darker than your lower top lid, and should be worked from the outer eye to just past the centre crease, back and forth to blend it in.





Next, select a midtone of the same colour (between the light and dark colours you've chosen so far) and apply it above the crease, or simply use it just to blend out the crease, leaving the top half nude. you may wish to highlight under your eyebrow with a light colour eyeshadow or highlighter.





Eyeliner can be applied in many ways, depending on the shape you want. For the lower lashes, take a black eyeliner pencil, and work it back and forth along your lower waterline, as it may rub off if you are sparing. The waterline is the ridge as your lid meets your eyeball.





On your top lid, use either a sleek inkpot (from Superdrug), liquid eyeliner, or the pencil, to draw a line from just past the centre of your eye (starting at the side nearer your nose) and working towards the outer eye. It should be very thin and close to the lashes on the inner side, and become thicker on the outer to give the impression of a wider eye.


You could wing it out at the end by starting where your upper and lower lids meet at the outside of your eye, and imagining the bottom lid will follow up to your eyebrow. Draw that line as far as you want it. Draw a line from close to the end of the crease of your eyelid and join the two in a triangle. Make it as thick or thin as you want, curvy or straight, and fill it in. You could leave it open ended, or draw a point at the inside of your eye etc. Play and see. The trick is to be as close to the lashline as possible, and make it thinner closer to your nose, and thicker past the midway point. The change should be gradual. It's easiest to use fluidline or a Sleek inkpot with a small angled brush. Stop and start rather than drawing one straight line if you're likely to mes it up.





Enjoy!
It's sorta hard the first time so just relax, take a breath, and slowly draw a line stopping when your arm may ache and start again where you started. It'll never turn out COMPLETELY perfect but it can get pretty darn close!It just takes practice. I got it by every night practicing, maybe trying different techniques (and I say night that way if you mess up, your only going to bed nobody will see) :) Hope this helps!
i have a friend who goes overboard on eyeliner. we all love her but we all notice the black lines under and above her eyes. she doesnt need it and it can look thick, cakey, and tar-like. dont go overboard on eyeliner would be my advice. a class in cosmetology can show you how to apply a thin line perfect for your eye shape and color.


eyeshadow, you can have somefun with. my favorites are a shimmery bronze, sparkle pink and purple. i use covergirl products.





hope i gave you some tips! good luck! ;)
Can you be more specific of how it ';never comes out right?';





And practice. Thats how we all figured out how to do it. Practice at night, when you're in for the night. Make sure you had a good makeup remover though. Just expiriement.
try resting your elbow on a side if your on about liquid otherwise its pratice
