I wanna try liquid eyeliner but my mom's traumatizing me, saying it's hard to take off it you mess up and it hurts if you get it in your eye and all sorts of crazy scary stuff. Santa and the Easter Bunny will join in holy matrimony, all sorts of things, she says to me!
But I want to. It looks less hassle and I don't have to shape the point, and it leaves a nice solid black... hmmm... Tips, guys? D:
Well the best advice I think I could give for liquid eyeliner is TRY IT! If you are worried about it messing up, just dip a cotton swab in some makeup remover, or even water if the liner isn't waterproof, and just gently go over the area you messed up with. Just make sure you dry that area off after, before you go back with the other makeup. But honestly, it just takes some practice. A lot of people have a hard time with liquid eyeliner and just give up; but as they say, practice makes perfect. How else do proffessional makeup artists succeed??!
Also as a first timer, make sure that you let the liner
dry first before blinking, or else you get a messy eyelid! 0___0
Another thing to keep in mind is that brand can sometimes make the difference, I do like l'oreal for their liquid liner. And you have the options of either going with either a brush or sponge tip applicator. I personally prefer the sponge. I find it gives better control and much cleaner line.
So just take a day to practice, you may have to remove and re-apply a few times until you get the hang of it, but it's worth it!~
But if you want to try something a little more adventurous, try to find a good gel liner. I love them so much! You apply it with a brush, an angled brush is the best to use. I don't know what brands you have access to, but Maybelline New York came out with a rather nice gel liner. It comes with it's own brush, and is available in black, black-brown, brown, and dark purple; and is waterproof <3 ! I love it a lot!
Hope it all goes well!!! ^_^ <3
