Easy Eye Color With Colorful Eye Liners

Using eye liner is a simple way to add color that doesn’t require adding a whole lot of time or skill to your routine. There are many varieties and formulas that you can use to spiff up your color collection. There is, of course, the all too popular pencil. Aside from that we now have creams, liquids, cakes and gels. And who’s to say that you have to stop there. Benefit used to make a deep magenta/red lip liner that I used to keep in my eye liner drawer. I used it almost everyday and received so many compliments when I wore it. I even turned a few friends onto that little trick. Some companies even make a liquid transformer so that you can turn any eye shadow into an eye liner. That one way to keep your liner uniquely you…

Sometimes applying a thicker top line can make the eye appear too big or too small depending on the shape and lid space. When you apply the top liner I recommend really trying to get it into the top lash line and keeping it as thin as possible. Keeping the color in the lashline shouldn’t effect the size and shape too much. So once you get it in there you can build the width and transform the eye from there if wanted or needed.

Unless you are applying a smoky eye I wouldn’t recommend being too heavy handed. I prefer using pencil. Another option is to color a little space on the back of your hand and use a smudge brush to wiggle that color into the bristles and then wiggle into the lash line for a natural finish…even with the most vibrant colors. This technique can be used with gel and cream liners as well. And keep in mind that applying a dark color on the inner rim may make eye apper smaller. For a bigger and brighter eye use a white/very very light bluish white color on inner rim.

These are some of my favorite finds…
