Inner eyeliner is the first step in eye makeup. When applying it, gently lift the upper eyelid with your finger to expose the white mucous membrane. Then, using an eyeliner brush, carefully fill in the gaps along the lash line with eyeliner gel, ensuring complete coverage—including the inner mucous membrane. Once applied, the eyes instantly appear more vibrant and focused.
Step 2: Upper Eyeliner
Step 1: The key to applying outer eyeliner is to stay close to the lash line without leaving gaps. Gently press the eyelid with your finger and draw in segments starting from the inner corner. The line should be smooth and flowing. While you don't need to complete it in one stroke, ensure all segments connect seamlessly.
Step 2: Extend the outer corner of the eyeliner. This visually enlarges the eyes, elongates the eye shape, and makes the face appear smaller. Lift the outer eyelid with your finger, then lift the eyeliner about 1cm upward near the inner corner. Thicken this lifted section to form a triangle.The key is to form a triangle—ensure the entire outer triangular area is filled without exposing any white sclera.
Step 3: Defining the Inner Corner
Here comes the crucial part! Defining the inner corner is often overlooked but yields remarkably noticeable results.Using advanced techniques, we can achieve the same eye-enlarging effect as surgical eyelid surgery. The method involves extending the inner corner outward by 2mm to create a natural, pointed triangle. Then, connect the upper and lower eyeliner lines—remember, they should be parallel—so it looks as if your eyes were naturally shaped that way.
Step 4: Lower Eyeliner
Many girls avoid lower eyeliner, fearing it might make them look fierce or make eyes appear smaller when framed. But to further enlarge your eyes, mastering lower eyeliner is essential—don't give up!
Step 1: Begin drawing the lower eyeliner from the outer lower corner of the eyeball. The key is to create a parallel outer corner at the end of the lower line, mimicking your natural eye shape—though it's actually an illusion that makes your eyes appear larger. Connect this endpoint to the upper eyeliner to form a "V" shape.
Step 2: Blend the eyeliner at the outer corners of both upper and lower lids using a small brush. For the lower lash line, lightly apply eyeshadow powder, then dot on silver glitter to make your eyes look dewy and full of sparkle.
Step 3: Line the entire inner waterline with a pink eyeliner. Pink offers a softer, more natural effect than white. Applying it to the lower lash line instantly opens up the eyes! Be sure to trace along the inner lower eyelid, intensifying the line at the inner corner to enhance brightness.
