How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner. If the eyes are the window to the soul, then liquid eyeliner
are their Venetian blinds: delicate and tricky to operate, but—when applied in just the
right place—very revealing. You will need Liquid eyeliner A small, thin eyeliner brush
A steady hand A mirror And a flat surface Some translucent powder or concealer and an
applicator brush. Step 1. Liquid eyeliner can be hard to control. If you're new to this,
use a very small fine-pointed brush. Before applying the eyeliner, add a thin layer of
translucent powder or concealer and powder to your upper lid to hide the veins. Step
2. Brace your elbow on a flat surface. This will help you control the brush. Step 3. Look
in the mirror and close the eye you're going to work on first. Step 4. Place your brush
at the center of your upper lid's lash line, and trace a thin line out to the corner of
your eye. Step 5. Pick up your brush and place it at the inner corner of your eye and trace
a thin line to the center, connecting it with your first line. If drawing one continuous
line is too difficult, draw two lines instead. If drawing two lines is hard, try connecting
three or four short lines. Step 6. To avoid smudging, refrain from opening this eye any
wider until the liner is set. Step 7. Repeat the steps on the other upper eyelid. Did you
know Both men and women in ancient Egypt wore eyeliner—made of green malachite and lead
ore mixed with animal fat—on both their upper and lower lids.
