Well defined eyes are the key to achieving a gorgeous eye makeup. But, at times the eyeliner starts running down your eyes. Isn’t it? Well, don’t worry. Now you can try these amazing makeup tricks and tips to keep eyeliner from running!
Top 9 Ways On How To Prevent Eyeliner From Running:
A good eyeliner formula itself will never budge or smear off your eyes. Always invest in a good eyeliner for your eye makeup. It will turn out to be your best friend in makeup. You need not buy an expensive eyeliner for it to be good. If you cannot afford high-end brands, it is best to go for affordable eyeliners. The best budget eyeliners include Lakme Absolute Shine Eyeliner, Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Eyeliner and Kryolan Liquid Eyeliner.
Take your favorite concealer and apply it in patting motions on your under eye area. This step will prevent your eyeliner from running. It also prevents its seeping into the fine lines of the under eye area. Evening out the skin, the creamy formula of the concealer fills in all the lines. It acts as a barrier between the skin and your eyeliner, so that the formula lasts longer and stays fresh.
The key to keep any makeup for a longer period of time is to set it. An effective way to prevent the running eyeliner is by setting it. After the application of your eyeliner, let it dry completely for a few seconds. Then find an eyeshadow, which closely matches the eyeliner that you have applied and layer the eyeshadow over your eyeliner. Use a thin angled or regular eyeliner brush to achieve a neat and precise line. If you want an intense, dramatic and long lasting finish, then you can dampen your brush. This is one of my favorite techniques and it always works fairly well for me.
Each one of us has a different skin type. One makeup rule does not apply for all of us. For example, oily eyelids may have to avoid softer creamy formulas as these easily tend to slip and melt off the skin. The best option is to try different formulas of eyeliner. Try liquid, cream, crayon, pencil form, kohl or gel eyeliner, and test the products to judge the best formula for your skin type.
Don’t we all try layering our lipstick to make it vibrant and long-lasting? The technique is simple – apply, blot and reapply again! Well, the same trick applies for your eyeliner too. This simple idea keeps your eyeliner intact for the whole day. Start by applying your eyeliner and then softly smudge it out with a pencil brush or a cotton swab. Then, reapply one more time and your eyeliner will last really long. It will not slip, smear or slide off your eyes!
I know you are hearing it for the first time, but it works wonders! Just as setting your cream foundation with powder prevents creasing, powder your eyelids before application of eyeliner to avoid creasing and slipping off of the eyeliner. This technique helps in setting the eyeliner intact and in place.
This trick will be of great help for people with oily skin. You might have noticed several times that within an hour of application of makeup, some shine and greasiness appear around your eye and t-zone areas of the face. Use good oil-absorbent sheets and blot on the area to remove any oiliness, which might lead to faster creasing and slipping of your eyeliner.
Eye primer helps in setting and intensifying your eyeshadow. It also helps in preventing your eyeliner from creasing. Start applying an eye primer and set it with your favorite compact powder, and then apply your eyeliner to make it last long, for the entire day.
