. They need proper definition and if this is achieved then all eyes fall on you. Eyeliners highlight your eyes and give definition to them. Eye liners are applied after the eye shadow and before the mascara. To highlight light colored eyes, brown, navy blue and charcoal liners are used and for dark or black eyes, brown and plum shaded do the magic. Liquid eyeliners are used for hard looks and pencil eyeliners are used for a softer look. To experiment with colors, you can apply dark eye shadows as eyeliners with a moist brush. Application of the liner should be done with a delicate hand by tilting the head slightly backwards and keeping the eyes half open so that one can see oneself in the mirror. Draw a clear line on the upper lid from the inner side of the eye to the outer side. Eyes must open when the liner has dried or else the liquid would smudge. Apply the liner in one smooth stroke when using a liquid liner where as apply with smaller strokes when using a pencil liner. A thin stroke of liner looks better than a thick stroke. If you feel your look is harsh then you may soften it by smudging it with a brush. Before application you must practice using a liquid liner. If your hand shakes then you may try standing close to the mirror and take its support to stable the hand while applying. Never forget to wash the brush after application. If you use a powder shadow as a liner then it is advisable to hold a tissue under the eye. It is easier to highlight the eye with a series of dashes or dot or short feather- like stokes rather than with a single stroke. To highlight the inner rims of the upper and lower lids, kohl pencils are the ideal. Other things get smeared easily in this area and they are not good for the eyes too, so kohl pencils are preferred. Large eye lid areas can be defined by thick and soft liners while small eyelid areas can get definition by thinner and more intense lines. Eye liners redefine your eyes and highlight them. Liners give depth to the eyes so you can go in for dark brown, black or grey shades of liners on the upper lid and softer shades of black, grey or brown can be used for the lower lids.
