Hi everyone! I’ve been on a journey to perfect my eyeliner application for my hooded lids, and I know many of you can relate to the struggle of keeping it from smudging. After some trial and error, I’d love to share a few tips that have worked well for me, and I’m eager to hear your experiences too!
Using gel or liquid eyeliner has made a noticeable difference for me. These formulas tend to provide a more defined look compared to pencils. To ensure it stays in place, I set my eyeliner with a bit of translucent powder or a matching eyeshadow. This simple step really helps lock it in! I also recommend applying the eyeliner while looking straight ahead in the mirror. This way, you can see how the line will appear when your eyes are open.
Another trick I’ve found useful is using tape or a business card as a guide for creating a sharp wing. It takes some practice but can lead to a beautifully crisp line with minimal hassle. I’ve been trying out different brands and noticed that some are definitely better at resisting smudges. If you have any go-to products that work well for you, please share!
