The key to making false eyelashes blend is to apply a dark liquid eyeliner over the false lash line on your upper eyelid. The challenge is that liquid eyeliner dries quickly and requires a steady hand. Because liquid eyeliner is applied after you have already put on much of your foundation and eye makeup, it can also make cleaning up complicated. The following tips will help you apply eyeliner to make your false eyelashes blend well.
- Get your own brush and trim it. The applicator brush that comes in a liquid eyeliner is often useless for this task; you will want to obtain your own long-handled brush with a thin line of bristles or one with a tapered tip. Avon makes a flat "push brush" as does Sephora and MAC. If you are fearful of too heavy a line, use a nail trimmer and clip a few of the bristles off of either side of the brush to produce a thinner brush for a thinner line, or clip straight diagonally across and trim a few bristles to make as thin a brush as possible. When you first practice, you might want to try a few cheaper brushes that you can cut to your own specifications. You can always customize the bristles, so when selecting a brush, go by what you feel comfortable with in your hand. Make two of these brushes, one to apply and one to blend.
- Assess what kind of liquid eyeliner is feasible for this task. Liquid eyeliner comes in the standard bottle with a little brush in the cap, and many brands such as Too Faced, Paula Dorf and others make a liquid that, when mixed with any eyeshadow, can make a customized liquid liner. This option might work out well for beginners since you can make your liquid formulation not too wet and it can be lightened or darkened with other shadows. If it is too wet, let it sit for a minute to make it tackier.
