To err is human! But, when it comes to applying eyeliner, these mistakes can be quite time-consuming to fix. Sadly, despite that, we all end up making eyeliner mistakes from time to time. Most people who use eyeliners worry about the eyeliner going out of line.

Applying an eyeliner looks like a simple task, and because we use it frequently, we often tend to think that we can’t go wrong with it. However, the application of eyeliner involves some tricky manoeuvers which, if go wrong, can mess your look.

Thankfully, by avoiding these mistakes and using the right tricks, you can get the eyeliner right every single time. So, here are some of the most common eyeliner mistakes that all of us need to stop making:

Pulling your eye while applying eyeliner
To make the creases go away and to make a smoother path for the eyeliner, all of us have the habit of pulling or tugging the eye. Surprisingly, this is an eyeliner mistake we must stop making. It so happens that when you stretch and release your eye, the skin bounces and releases, and so does the eyeliner. Because of this, your eyeliner may have an undesirable texture. Although it might be hard to get rid of this habit, you can try using your fingers to anchor your skin while applying the eyeliner.

Not using the right type of eyeliner
Inevitably, liquid and gel-based eyeliners lure us with their fancy packaging and dramatic-looking results. However, in reality, they might be doing more harm than good. Gel and liquid eyeliners set quickly, allowing you no time for blending. You need some blending for softening and blurring the eyeliner as it can help erase the visibility of the lines that were not supposed to be there. Therefore, trust your instinct and use these eyeliners only if you’re sure about getting it right without any mistakes. While they may not give you a dramatic look, pencil eyeliners can be your best friends in the long-run.

Painting liquid eyeliner with a brush
You can choose from a wide variety of liquid eyeliner applicators. However, to make the right decision, you must remember that type of applicator that might suit your friend may not do justice to your makeup regime. Similarly, while the girls you know may be able to get the perfect winged line with a brush, you might spend hours trying to figure out the right technique to hold that applicator. Although it may sound time-consuming, and you might have to spend a lot of money on it, you must try different types of applicators to find the one that suits you the best. Starting from brushes to felt-tipped pen eyeliners, try everything available in the market till you get your match.

If you apply eyeliner in the wrong way, you will end up spending more time to repair your makeup look. So, you can try out the tips mentioned above to get your eyeliner right.
