Beauty Blunders: How to Correct Your Eyeliner Mistakes
#1. So you’re thinking you’re ready to foray into that scary world of liquid eyeliner – it’s the best for the perfect line, after all. But, when liquid eyeliner goes wrong, it can be a real tough one to fix. Best trick of the trade? Always have a Q-tip with a bit of foundation on the end ready to go – it’s like a liquid eraser that can turn eyeliner gone wrong to eyeliner gone right in the blink of an eye.
#2. The smudge factor is a constant worry. Some eyeliners just smudge – especially if you’re someone who rubs your eyes frequently. There’s an easy solution to this one – after applying your eyeliner, simply go over the line with some light neutral eyeshadow or powder to set the liner. This trick will keep it in place for hours.
#3. When your cat eye comes out perfect on each eye – and then you realize they look totally different. Make sure your keeping your eyes wide open during the application process – even though it’s super tempting to close them. You want to use your first eye as a guide to making sure the second eye comes out looking great.
#4. You get off course with your eyeliner – and it’s definitely not where it’s supposed to be. Try dipping a Q-tip in eye makeup remover, squeezing off some of the excess remover with a tissue. Gently use the Q-tip to repair any mistakes – just like an eraser and then get back on track to a perfect look.
You feel like the look of your eyeliner is weighing down your eyes rather than perking them up. That’s a quick and easy fix – skip lining the lower lid and just line the top. It will brighten and open your eyes rather than make them feel heavy.
