What is the proper way to apply eye liner?

Depends on the current fashion where the actual ';line'; goes. For awhile, it actually went on the edge of skin between the eye lashes and the eye ball. Now the line appears to be done within the eyelashes.





There's 2 important things. Make sure you have an eye liner brush that will get skinny enough to make a line. Make sure the makeup you're using doesn't smear on your skin. Different brands are better at not smearing depending on your skin type.What is the proper way to apply eye liner?
1. Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy and charcoal accent light eyes well, while brown and plum shades flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.





2. Consider the type of look you're after. Pencil eyeliner gives your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision and drama. You can also moisten dark eye shadow and apply it with a small, flat brush.





3. Prepare a cake liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small amount of water to your brush. Or, if you're using a pencil eyeliner, ensure that you've sharpened the pencil adequately.





4. Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow. Hold the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.





5. Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing.





6. Draw a line across the upper lid just above the lashes, from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. If you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye.





7. If you used a brush or a pencil, soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger.





8. Line the lower lids. Moving from the outside edge inward, draw a line on the outer two-thirds of the lid or more, depending on the look you're going for. Your line should be slightly thicker at the outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose. Using your brush or pencil, lightly stroke the area. If using a liquid liner, apply it in one smooth stroke. Apply less color so your eyes don't appear raccoonlike.








Tips:


You may find eyeliner, particularly the liquid version, difficult and messy the first few times. Practice and have patience.





Wash brushes regularly with makeup remover or a mild gel shampoo.








Warning:


Lining the inside of the lower lid is not recommended'it may cause eye infections, and it greatly increases the risk of getting makeup in your eye.What is the proper way to apply eye liner?
make sure runs right on your lash line..and dont stretch your skin while putting it on or your going to get wrinkls
under your eyes.
PILE T ON UNDER UR EYES AND SMEAR IT TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK UR DEAD, IT SCARES THEM AWAY AND U GET ALL THE CAKE!!!!
I think applying eyeliner on the top of your upper lashes from the middle to the outer edge and on the bottom from the middle to the outer edge looks natural and great. You have to remember to blend it a little, so it's not so prominent. The best tool I've found for that is your finger. And browns look good on any eye colour. Also, to complete the look, remember to curl your eyelashes before you put on mascara. It opens your eyes up even more!
I think it makes your eyes look bigger when you apply it halfway under your eyes (from the outside of your eye to the inside halfway mark), and do the same above your eyes and then blend with shadow. If you do it properly, it looks very natural.
