Eyeliner Designs

Eyes speak more than words. This saying is especially true when we are meeting somebody for the first time. The way the eyes look, the kind of expression that is there in them, can make a huge impression on others. No wonder, poets and writers since centuries have been praising the beauty of the eyes of a woman through their works. Women too, since centuries have played the perfect muse to these artistes by beautifying their eyes in a number of ways. One of the highly popular means to enhance the beauty of one's eyes used by the modern-day woman is an eyeliner. Women accentuate the natural beauty of their eyes by making various eyeliner designs on their eyes. Here are some of the most creative and cool designs, which any woman can make herself at home to beautify her eyes.

Classic
For giving a classic look to the eyes, take a black liquid eyeliner and with a single stroke, outline the upper lashes, from the inside to the outside, with a thin line. Care should be taken to give the classic designs a very clean and streamlined look. A classic design needs a lot of practice as multiple strokes of eyeliner should ideally be avoided, when giving oneself a classic look. If you are using an eyeliner for the first time, you may use one or two strokes more to give proper touch up to the eyes. A classic look goes very well in formal events or as an office wear.

Glamorous
For adding glamor to the eyes and to look sexy, thick black eyeliner should be applied to the upper lashes. It should extend beyond the corner of the outer eyes, and end with an upward slope. Lower eye lashes should be outlined with an eyeliner or an eye pencil too. Glamorous liquid eyeliner designs go very well on a romantic date or even while partying with friends.

Dramatic
For giving yourself a dramatic look, you can use an eyeliner of some bold color such as purple or green. Take the eyeliner and make a stroke with it on the upper lashes. Start from the center of the eyelashes, instead of the inner corner of the eye as it will make the eyes appear larger. Similarly line the lower lashes, from the center too. Remember to use thick strokes to give the eyes a dramatic look. Once you are done with applying the liner, you may dust the upper lid with a gold tinted eye shadow.

Smoky
To give the eyes a smoky look, use a green eyeliner. Make very thin lines on both the upper and the lower lashes with the green shade. Now, take a gray colored eyeliner and make a thick line on both the lashes with it, blending it with the green line. When it has dried, dust the upper eyelids with a pink eyeshadow.

Goth
For a goth look, Egyptian style designs are extremely popular. Line the upper and the lower lashes with thick black eyeliner, extending it beyond the corner of the eye and meeting at a single point, just short of the hairline. Apply very thick eyeliner on both the lashes to give yourself a true goth look. If you want to make the eyes look even more dramatic, use a contrasting eye shadow such as green or pink and dust the upper lids with it.

The above mentioned creative designs can give your face a completely new look so they are a must try at home. A few tips before I sign off. Always apply the eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner and not vice versa. Apply on the upper lashes first and then move on to the lower lashes. An eyeliner should be applied after the foundation has been applied but before the mascara and the eye shadow. Lastly, if you feel that some designs did not suit you and you want to get rid of it, never use water or soap for removing the eyeliner as it can make the face look very puffy and blotchy, instead use a proper make up cleaner for the purpose.
