Eyeliner should be applied after you have applied all other eye makeup. Before applying your eye liner, you should make sure you have good lighting (preferably natural light) and a good makeup mirror, so that you can see clearly what you are doing with the eyeliner. The colour eyeliner you use should match the color of the mascara you are using.
Depending on whether you want a thin line or a thick line, you may need to sharpen or blunt the eyeliner pencil. If you are using liquid eyeliner it will depend on the brush as to how thin or thick you can make the line.

Firstly you need to choose what colour and what type of mascara to apply. Black mascara is the most commonly used. It looks great for all hair types, although it can look a little intense on blondes during day time. It can look spectacular on blondes at night though. Deep burgandy shades go well with red hair, and shades of brown work well on some shades of blonde hair.
When applying mascara, make sure you don’t have an excess on your mascara wand. Start by applying mascara to your upper lashes. This is done by using full strokes from their base to their tips. Wiggle the wand to get mascara onto the roots of the lashes, then stroke it forward and roll it at the tip to curl them upwards for a fantastic look. For your lower lashes take care not to smudge under the eye. You will need less mascara to coat your lower eye lashes. Apply mascara to the lower lashes by applying from side to side rather than up and down.
Now admire you beautiful eye lashes in the mirror!
