How To Apply Liquid Eyeliner For Beginners | The Quick And Easy Way!

Apr 22, 20222 min read

There are a lot of steps that you can mess up on when doing your makeup and no one, but you, will ever notice, but eyeliner is not one. The first thing most people look at when it comes to makeup is your eyes. The eyes can draw people in and become your best feature just by how you apply the makeup. I naturally have a cat shaped eye, so when I use eyeliner on my inner eye and add a wing it really makes them pop. You can bring a very simple makeup routine to new heights with a small eyeliner wing.

I've tired different types of eyeliners, like pencils and its not easy at all. It comes out all thick and you have to clean it up if you want the wing effect. I even tired the pens and as easy as it is to hold, they dry out I would say really fast. I've just always loved the old fashion liquid eyeliner that you have to untwist and apply with the applicator it came with. You can add extra product with no problem and keep it moving. Even if you mess up you can just make the liner bigger.

Over the years I figured out the best way for me to apply my eyeliner quick and easy, so I'm going to take you through my steps and hopeful they can help you.

So, after I finish up my eyeshadow look, I take my liquid eyeliner and start with my wing line. This is all up to how you want your wing to look. I go up towards my eyebrow, but I don't bring the line all the way just half way.

Next I start my second line on an angle down towards my eyelashes and along my eye lid. Making a very thin line down to my inner eyelid corner.

After you have the shape outlined, fill in the space with the liquid eyeliner.

Repeat the same steps on the other eye.

For a very long time I only put mascara on my eyelashes. I used to think they where to much for me and for the amount of makeup I used to wear it made sense. Now that I be beating my face, eyelashes are essential to completing my looks. I’m going to take you through my process of how I apply my fake eyelashes. There are a couple of different ways to apply fake lashes. You can use a strip of eyelashes, individual lashes (professional or diy) & magnet lashes. The first step of applying my lashes is putting mascara on my real ones. I usually do this after I actually apply the lashes because I like to put mascara on my fake lashes too. If that's not your thing then continue with applying the mascara first. After you finished your eyeshadow, your real eyelashes are all different colors. You need them to match your fake eyelashes and unless you bought the colorful lashes you want to make your real ones black. You don’t need a lot of product just a small coat will do. These are some mascaras i recommend to use:

essence | Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara | Gluten & Cruelty Free

Maybelline New York Makeup Great Lash Washable Mascara

Next you want to take your eyelash glue and apply it like a very thin eyeliner with no wing. I like to use black eyelash glue, I've tired clue glue and my eyelashes never stick on well. My go-to brand it duo you can shop their eyelash glues with my affiliate link here: https://amzn.to/3wAy0ds

After you wait a couple of seconds for the glue to dry you want to start from the front of your eye and gently place the eyelash along the eyelash glue you applied. Place them the same way on each side, if not your eyelashes will look off. Here are some eyelashes I recommend:

KISS Products So Wispy Lashes, 5 Pair — KISS So Wispy Lashes, 5 Pair

KISS Lash Couture Naked Drama Collection

KISS Looks So Natural False Eyelashes Multipack

I then take my eyelash applicator tool and start to squeeze together the fakes lashes to my real ones gently. This helps them look a lot more natural. Sometimes the line I make with the eyelash glue is a little thicker than I want so I will use the applicator tool to help cover that with my eyelid. It's so surprising how well it works. It makes it look like no eyelash glue was there. Here are some recommended applicator tools:

Eyelash Tweezers Material: durable stainless steel and alloy. Can be used to help you wear on or take off false eyelashes,or help you adjust or repair your false eyelashes.

Unique new design,nip using humanized multifunctional design,as long as you have it,paste false eyelashes easier,more comfortable,clean.

Includes: 5 Eyelash/Brow Repair Beauty Tools. Material: Stainless Steel.Color: Rose Gold. 5-Piece Set Of Different Trimming Tools, To Make Grooming More Easy.

Perfect Placement: For optimal placement and mistake-proof application of your KISS Falscara eyelash extension wisps, use the applicator to place our Falscara wisps under your own lashes so you can customize them for your own original natural look.

Now if you like to add mascara at the end this is where that would come in. I take my mascara and apply it to my real lashes and then I take a little and put it on the fake lashes to help them look like they blend well. That's how I apply my fake eyelashes with eyelash glue. I hope this talk through helped you. To see a visual of everything I'm talking about check out the video I have at the beginning of this article.

How To Get That "No Makeup" Makeup Look | The Best Makeup Products For Your No Makeup Look!

Mar 19, 20223 min read

I think everyone want's to look like they are wearing makeup when they aren't. This is something that you can achieve with the right products and the right application. These are some photos of my current no, makeup, makeup look.

But in the beginning for me it wasn’t as easy as you would think. I used to try to attempt the no makeup look and always look like I have a whole bunch a foundation on my face with no lashes and thick eyebrows. I feel like the eyebrows and the amount of foundation is the biggest parts of the no makeup look. I used to have even thinner eyebrows than I do now and trying to make them look natural was almost impossible. I was using eyeshadow to fill in my brows which was half the problem and I was filling them in like I was coloring, instead of trying to make actual eyebrow hairs. Little things like that made a huge different in how my end result would look. So if your having trouble I'm going to take you through the steps I take and the products I use. to create my no makeup, makeup look.

My No Makeup, Makeup Look

Step 1) Clean your face with a face cleanser or wipes.

Products I recommend:

Get all the dirty off your face. If your dealing with acne breakouts, I reccommend using products that help prevent that as well. I have acne problems and dark spots I battle with, so I like to use mask and spot treatments for extra help.

Step 2) Comb eyebrows upward and makeup fake hair if needed

Products I recommend:

Soap brows are the big brow trend right now. Most trends I actually don't like to copy but soap brows are so cute I can't lie. They help make your eyebrows look thicker and longer than they are.

I love this eyebrow cream. I always used eyeshadow until I tired this products. It's such a nice cream, smooth, light and very easy to use. I can create natural looking fake eyebrow hairs that look good.

Check out my eyebrow tutorial for when your doing a full coverage look.

Step 3) Only conceal under the eyebrow

Products I recommend:

When I conceal on the top and the bottom it doesn't look as natural. If you just do under the eyebrow it looks neat but natural at the same time. I like to take a beauty blender and blend out that top eyebrow, kind of shape it like that.

Step 4) Use the same concealer for your Foundation

I like to take a very small amount or la girl concealer and mix a light shade with a darker shade to create I nice blend for my skin tone. I apply it to my face on my cheek area, chin and fore head, I don't cover my face. I want to do a very light coverage and leave some of my skin exposed. After that I contour very lightly and conceal under my eyes very lightly as well.
