Eyeliner is the most crucial step in Korean-style monolid makeup. Different eyeliner techniques create varied makeup effects, making them suitable for different occasions. Whether you want a professional office look, an exaggerated party style, or an elegant vintage vibe, different eyeliner techniques can quickly make you the center of attention in the office, at parties, or on the street.
1. Office Style
Step 1: Apply eyeliner pencil to the inner corner, extending slightly beyond the tear duct to the mid-eye area.
Step 2: Blend the liner with a smudge brush to prevent harsh, unnatural lines.
Step 3: Switch to liquid eyeliner for the outer half, especially the tail. Liquid liner creates a fine line that extends 1cm outward. Gently lift the tip upward for an energetic, vibrant look.
Step 2: Fill in any gaps along the lash line to ensure no empty spaces. This makes the eyes appear more vibrant. Extend the outer corner 1cm outward and gently lift the tip upward.
Step 3: Use a blending brush to lightly sweep over the eyeliner, further elongating and lifting the line to create a unique, alluring effect.
3. Retro Style
Step 1: Begin drawing from the center of the eye toward the outer corner. When reaching the outer corner, extend the line 1cm outward and lift it upward.
Step 2: Use an eyeliner pencil to fill in any gaps along the lash line.
Step 3: Finally, blend the eyeliner with a smudge brush to achieve a dignified and elegant retro look.
