Cleaning the eye area before makeup is an important step
Many people encounter the situation of applying beautiful eyeliner in the morning but quickly blurring into "panda eyes" after a few hours. According to makeup experts, the most common cause is the eyelid area that secretes oil, making the product difficult to stick to.
To limit leaks, the eye area needs to be cleaned and dried before applying makeup. Experts recommend avoid using too thick eye cream around the eyelids because it is easy to make the eyeliner fade faster.
If moisturizing is needed, you should prioritize thin and light gel products and wait for them to fully absorb before applying eyeliner.
Another tip to help the line last longer is to lightly apply oilining powder or eye primer to the eyelids before applying makeup. A dry foundation layer will help the eyeliner stick firmly and limit blurring during the day.
In addition, choosing the right type of eyeliner pencil is also very important. Waterproof or long-lasting lines are often more suitable for hot and humid weather than soft cream pencils.
Proper eyeliner helps limit blurred color
According to beauty experts, many people have a habit of drawing a line too thick from the beginning, making the makeup layer more easily sticky and dull.
A more effective way is to start with a thin line close to the base of the eyelashes, then apply thin layers to make the color even and natural. This method helps the line stick well without creating a heavy feeling to the eye.
After drawing, you can use a small brush to lightly dab black or dark brown eyeshadow on top to "lock" the eyeliner layer, helping the color last longer.
Experts also note that the lower eyelid margin is often the most easily leaching area, especially for people who often shed tears or have oily skin. Therefore, you should not draw too thickly in this area if you want to keep makeup clean longer.
When the eyes start to stain, instead of applying more layers, use oil blotting paper or a cotton swab to gently wipe the stainted part before dabbing again.
In addition, thorough makeup removal at the end of the day is also very important. Experts recommend using mild makeup remover for the eyes and avoiding strong scrubbing as it can irritate the skin around the eyes.
With just a few small changes in makeup, eyeliner can maintain sharpness longer even in hot and humid weather or after many hours of activity.
