Punk is more than a look. But the look accompanies the style just as well. Generally there are two types of eyeliner, sharp and smudged. You can either use pencil eyeliner or liquid eyeliner. This article will show you how to do both types, with both mediums.
Steps
Sharp Eyeliner (Pencil)
When you purchase pencil eyeliner, be sure to purchase a sharpener as well. Keep your eyeliner well sharpened when using it.
Start on the eyelid. Determine how thick you want your eyeliner to be. Use the pencil to lightly mark this point.- Starting from the inside of your eye, stroke the eyeliner outwards. From there you can fill in from the line to the eyelashes.
- Under your eye, draw on your waterline. It should gravitate towards the line. After doing your top eyelid, the pencil should have dulled by this point and won't harm your eye or pinch. Depending on desired thickness, you can do further down with your line.
- Connect the top and bottom lines at the outer corner of the eye. Depending on your taste, you can make a rounded connection or a pointed connection.Advertisement
Smudged Eyeliner (Pencil)
Determine how thick you want your eyeliner to be. This will be approximate because the eyeliner will later become thicker after smudging.- Repeat the steps for sharp eyeliner.
- Use the smudger on the end of your pencil, or a smudger bought separately. Start at the bottom of the line and pull it outwards, applying slight pressure. Do this all around the eye.Advertisement
Sharp Eyeliner (Liquid)
Smudged Eyeliner (Liquid)
- Follow the same procedure as sharp eyeliner.
- Note that one variation between sharp eyeliner and the smudged eyeliner is the meeting point. The meeting point will be rounder in the smudged eyeliner than in the sharp.
- Obtain a smudger. Liquid eyeliner does not typically come with a smudger. You will have to purchase a smudger or use Q-Tips. Beginning with the starting point of the eyeliner, stroke it outwards with pressure. Do this all around the eye.Advertisement
