EYELINER

Liner Formulas
There are several eyeliner formulas: powdered shadow, eye pencil,
liquid, cake, or gel liner. Each has its advantages and specific
application techniques.
Shadow liners are easy to apply and can be long lasting if
applied correctly. Using shadow liner requires a good eyeliner
, and flat, with either a straight or a
slightly rounded tip.
Eyeliner pencils are easy to use, and you can carry several shades
with you. However, pencil liners have a creamy consistency
and smear if they are not set with either facial or eye-shadow
powder.
Liquid, cake, and gel liners
cult to apply, but
with practice, you can achieve incredible results. These liners
are extremely long wearing, very precise, and a good choice for
creating dramatic looks.

EYELINER
DOS & DONTS
Dont

ever apply liner to the

inside rim of the eyelids, except for
a theatrical effect for fashion or a
photo shoot. You risk infection and
injury. It is dangerous to put any
product, even those designed for
the eye area, directly in contact with
the eye. Also, rather than making
the eyes stand out, lining inside
the rim can make the eyes appear
smaller.

Dont line just the bottom

of the eye.

Do line all the way across the

lids! You can line just the top and
not the bottom, but dont line either
lid halfway. Lining from the inner
corner to the outer corner will help
open up the eye.

Do apply liner as close as possible to the lash line, making sure

there is no gap. This has the added
benefit of making lashes look fuller
and lush.

Do apply liner thinnest at the

hen I first started working as a freelance

makeup artist, it was almost impossible
to find books dedicated to makeup
artistry. This has improved over the
years, but there is still a noticeable lack
of resources. After scouring countless bookstores in
search of the perfect makeup reference text, I finally
decided to write my own guide. My vision for this
book is simple. I wanted it to be filled with industry
tips, complete step-by-step lessons, and beautiful
pictures. I wanted this book to serve as a complete
reference guide for everyone, who wants to know
about beauty and makeup.

inner corner of the eye and thicken

the line as it moves outward. This
accentuates the eyes shape and
gives the eyes a lift.

I have found that women are either intrigued or

mystified by cosmetics but that most are interested
in learning more about makeup and the ability to
transform a face.

All women really want the same thing: to look

like themselves, only prettier and more confident.
Achieving this goal involves building positive selfesteem, gaining knowledge of makeup products,
and becoming proficient in techniques.

lines of liners meet at the inside

and outside corners to make the
eyes appear larger.

This book is a true labor of love. It was written with

the help of my team of makeup artists, friends, and
customerswho have all contributed questions,
concerns, and tips about makeup. Even though Ive
been in the makeup industry for over twenty years,
I am always open to learning.
The beauty industry is constantly changing, so it is
important to stay open to new ideas, to acknowledge
when some things dont work anymore, and to try
new tips or find new solutions. The goal is always to
help women look and feel beautiful.
I expect that aspiring makeup artists will want to
read every word of this book. Others may pick and
choose to read those sections that apply to their
concerns. Makeup artistry is incredibly gratifying.
So be open, have fun, and never stop learning.

Applying eyeliner is the ultimate way to

define and enhance the eyes. It frames the
eyes, making them appear larger, while
balancing shadow applications. Liner can
also be used to improve the shape of the eyes.
Its application needs to be generous enough
to be visible when the eyes are open to make
the eyes stand out. Many women achieve a
beautiful, defined look using liner only on
the top. For those who use liner on both the
top and the bottom, it is important to keep
the top thicker than the bottom. To avoid the
appearance of tiredness and darkness under
the eye, apply a relatively thin line as close as
possible to the lower lash line.

o identify your best basic lip color,

remove all makeup. The best neutral
shade pinky brown, nude, beige
pink, rosy brown, pink, chocolate, or
blackberry will generally be close in tone
to your own natural lip color. Apply several
shades. The one that looks best on your
naked face is the right everyday neutral,
mistake-proof color. It should not look ashy,
orange, or pink, but like an enhanced version
of your own lip color. Some women might

need more color, and the shade that works

best without makeup could be bright or
dark rather than neutral. You know you have
found the right shade when it enhances your
skin tone, makes your eyes look brighter,
and gives your face a lift.
Once you have identified the right neutral
or everyday shade of lip color, you have the
basis for selecting more dramatic colors.
Most lip colors with the same undertone as
your natural shade will look flattering.
