Makeup & Beauty Tips on How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner

Share your best tips and tricks for applying liquid eyeliner!  Feel free to share your experiences, how you mastered techniques, or what you struggle with.

Temptalia’s Tips

1. Try resting your elbow on a flat, stable surface
2. Apply in short, quick lines, connecting them rather than doing one fluid line until you’ve gotten the hang of it
3. Try applying before you apply any other makeup – either to practice or to get the majority of the outline ready and then just go over it at the end to darken/redefine. This lets you have more freedom and flexibility to clean up if you make any mistakes without ruining your eyeshadow!

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Return Policies!

my answer: I absolutely love when stores have generous return policies AND they don’t give their customers a questioning glare when they make a return. It’s just as a customer, you shouldn’t abuse the policy!
