What do you know about male eyeliner? Men’s eyeliner guide

Male eyeliner has grown more and more prevalent since the growth in popularity of bands like Fall Out Boy and Green Day, as well as appearances by well-known celebrities like Johnny Depp. Men who want to enhance their appearance may find it challenging to get the hang of applying eyeliner. Still, a cosmetics beginner can become an expert by selecting the proper product and following simple rules.

What’s eyeliner?
Eyeliners are cosmetics that add color to the region around the eyes to draw attention to and emphasize the eyes. Eyeliners are used to draw attention to the eyelids or alter how the eyes are seen. They have unique chemicals that precisely and carefully apply color where it is required.

How to choose the right product?
The best eyeliner for guys may be chosen similarly to the best eyeliner for women because the items are frequently identical and only packaged differently. The first step is to decide if black, brown, or blue flatters you the most. Choose either liquid or pencil eyeliner next. Last but not least, if at all feasible, test the product first to make sure it is the appropriate eyeliner for you.

Many products marketed as male eyeliner are not very different from those for women. Many stores don't have a dedicated section for men's cosmetics, so if you can't find men's eyeliner products, you can use general eyeliner products instead.

The most basic colors of eyeliner are black and brown, but there are many other less commonly used colors, such as red and purple. In general, the color of men's eyeliner should be able to complement the color of the pupil. For example, a guy with green eyes would look better with light or dark brown eyeliner. In addition to this, dark eyeliner is often used to create a more dramatic look.

Male eyeliner guide
Here we will introduce how to draw male eyeliner from preparation to completion.

1. Select the eyeliner
Eyeliner pencil

The most common way to draw eyeliner is to use an eyeliner pencil. The soft, malleable tip of the pencil draws smooth lines with rich color and texture. Eyeliner pencils are easy to control and can be purchased in most cosmetics stores or supermarkets, usually on the eye product shelf or personal hygiene section. Eyeliner pencils are available in various colors, but black is the most standard and masculine.

Liquid eyeliner

Liquid eyeliner has an excellent brush for drawing precise lines. They create darker, sharper lines. However, the lines are more challenging to master and modify, so you may need some practice before wearing them out.

Use eyeshadow

In addition to using eyeliner, you can also choose a darker eyeshadow to draw the lines with a damp angle brush. Dip the eyeshadow with the brush, then apply the eyeliner as you normally would. Eyeshadows are more forgiving, especially for beginners, providing more natural edges.

2. Lining the lower lid
Make small, linear strokes from the inner border of the eye outward while carefully positioning the tip of the eyeliner pencil or brush just below the lower lash line. Try not to overlap the lines and keep them as near as you can to the inner eyelid. Go over the lines a few times from one side of the lid to the other until you achieve the desired style and thickness.

3. Lining the upper lid
Pulling up and across your upper eyelid requires placing a finger right below your eyebrow. Line the lid again, continuing down the crease right above the lashes from the inner edge out. Make sure you can see the eyelid and pencil it in the mirror as you move carefully. It is simpler to smudge since the upper eyelid is thinner than the lower one.

4. Touch up the corners
After lining the upper and lower eyelids, fill in the empty area in the outer corner of the eye and connect the lines with a few light strokes. This step will create the appearance of a single, ringed eye. Don't fill in the inner corner of the eye. That area is where the tear ducts are, and eyeliner that gets into these crevices can run and sting, causing a buildup of sticky black-eye boogers and possibly leading to infection.
