The most important point when applying make-up is to know your face well, rather than choosing materials and colors. Eyeliner, which is one of the most important make-up materials that determines your gaze, best reflects the depth of your eyes when applied according to your eye shape.
After determining the headlight color and choosing your mascara, it’s time for you to apply the eyeliner. You can continue reading our article to find the eyeliner style that suits your eye shape.
How is Eye Shape Determined?
The first step for the correct eyeliner drawing technique will be to determine your eye shape. If your eyelid covers your eyes a little, that is, it goes almost to the top of your pupil, and even if only half of your pupil is visible, you may think that you have a small eye shape.
Conversely, your eyes are large if the eyelid stays too high to cover your pupil, or if your pupil is not lower than the starting line. If the inner part of your eye, that is close to your nose, and the outer edges, which are opposite to it, are at the same level, you have the most popular eye structure, namely almond eyes.
When viewed from profile, if the lower part of your eyebrow, which is bone, is more forward and your eye is further back, your eyes are described as hollow eyes. If your eyes are equal in length and height, your eyes are round.
At the same time, your pupil and its surroundings appear as two harmonious intertwined circles. If the corners close to your nose are fixed, the tip eye parts towards the ears extend upwards and are closer to your eyebrows, your eyes are considered slanted eyes.
1. Eyeliner Style for Almond Eyes
The two most common eye shapes that are difficult to make up are almond and round eyes. The most suitable eyeliner drawing technique for almond-shaped eyes is as follows: Since the structure of the eye is wide in the middle and thin towards the edges, eyeliner should be applied in the opposite way.
Styles that start with thin lines in the inner and middle parts and thicken towards the outer parts make your eyes look more attractive than they are. In daily makeup, you can apply the eyeliner line to the end of the eye; For a more flamboyant make-up, you can extend the length of the line a little more with a thin slope to your temples.
2. Eyeliner Style for Round Eyes
In round eyes, you can try to make your eye structure more curved and interesting, as the eye shape consists of predictable lines. After drawing a line of equal thickness to all eyelashes, it would be best to create a triangular tail at the end of the eye.
In this way, your eyes will not be like a striking full circle, but a curved image that offers more mysterious looks. At the same time, smearing the eyeliner line on the upper and lower parts of your eyelashes a little will help you to catch more effective and misty looks.
3. Eyeliner Drawing Technique for Big Eyes
The main thing to pay attention to in eye sizes is to show very large eyes smaller and very small eyes larger and open. In this case, colors come into play.
In large eyes, applying a dark eyeliner to the lower and upper lines of the inner parts of the eyelashes instead of using the eyeliner alone will make your eyes look smaller than they are, and the eyeliner you apply carefully will attract more attention instead of a large eye.
4. Eyeliner Drawing Technique for Small Eyes
In small eyes, applying a light-colored eyeliner such as white or tan to the inner parts of the eye will make your eyes look larger. Thus, the dark eyeliner you apply on your eyelid will not make your eyes very closed and dark; on the contrary, it will attract attention as a stylish touch.
5. The Beginner’s Eyeliner Stencil Method
If you can’t decide on your eye shape or if you’ve just started to draw eyeliner and can’t create smooth lines, don’t worry. There is also an eyeliner drawing technique that can be easily done by everyone and adapts to all eye types.
First, with an eyeliner or eyeliner brush, place dots at intervals on the area you want to draw a line. If you want to achieve a smoky look, you can combine these points with the help of a clean brush. For a clearer view, you can create a line by following the points with a pencil or eyeliner without lifting your hand.
In addition to this method, you can also try to create a stencil line for the eyeliner you will draw on your eyelid and then fill in the lines.
