Speaking of eyeliners (guyliners to be exact), V asked me this question recently and I thought it’d be a good post – no one likes smudged eye makeup, do they?!
How do I put on eyeliner so it doesn’t smudge within a few hours?
It may be extra hard for those with oilier lids to keep eye makeup and eyeliner on. Apart from getting a good eyeliner that doesn’t smudge (waterproof formulas are the best), there are a few tricks you can try out.
* First, sweep your eyelid with some loose powder to soak up any oil.
* Apply your eyeliner, whether it is ink or pencil. (Here’s how to apply eyeliner).
* Next, take a fine eyeliner brush and apply a eyeshadow over your eyeliner line to really ’set’ the eyeliner. I like to do this step twice, just to be extra careful – and I never get smudges. It also works for the lower lash line as well.
So to sum it up – the best way for eyeliner to stay put and not smudge is to have a base and top ‘coat’ of powder.
