You have seen the power of a good eyeliner. You know how much more attractive women are when they wear it the right way. You may have also seen how bad someone looks when they’ve done their eyeliner wrong. For some reason, when you try to apply eyeliner when crossdressing, you just can’t seem to get it right.

Well, not to worry. We have put together a quick and easy-to-follow guide on how crossdresser & transgender women can apply eyeliner the right way for the next girls’ night out.

First step: What is your eye shape?

As a starting point, you need to figure out the natural shape of your eye. Ask any woman, and they will be able to answer you right away. Ask most men, and they will have no clue. If you can’t seem to apply eyeliner correctly, you may not also know the true shape of your eye.

Eyes fall into four common shapes:

Almond eyes

Almond-shaped eyes have the most ideal shape when it comes to makeup. Having this shape will make this very easy for you to enhance your facial beauty through makeup.

In fact, the goal with every other eye shape is to give the illusion of having almond-shaped eyes. Therefore, if you naturally have them, all you have to do is outline your eyes and extend the outer corner of your eye to give it a winged-tip look.

Monolid Eyes

A monolid eye does not have a prominent upper eyelid. This feature is more common for anyone of Asian descent.

When applying eyeliner to monolid eyes, the goal is to angle the winged tip at the outer edge of the eye upwards. You should also draw the eyeliner a bit thicker at the top of your eye.

Hooded Eyes

The hooded eye shape refers to when the top eyelid droops over the eye and the corners of the eye are turned downwards. This is mostly common in elderly people. However, anyone can have it as well.

Hooded eyes look beautiful when makeup is applied in the correct way. Apply it wrong, however, and your eyes will look sad and tired.

Make the upper eyeliner thicker than the lower one and build it up at the corner to give the illusion of an almond shape.

Round Eyes

Round-shaped eyes portray the look of innocence that is perceived as very attractive and approachable.

When applying eyeliner to this shaped eye, make sure the eyeliner is thick and pointy towards the outer corner of the eye.

Second step: Choosing an eyeliner

Eyes are considered the windows to the soul. People are quick to judge when they look into someone’s eyes. With the right eyeliner, you can easily influence how others perceive you.

The two types of eyeliner that you can choose from are gel eyeliner and liquid eyeliner.

– Gel Eyeliner: If you are a beginner, gel eyeliners are the way to go. They have a large selection and are easy to use. It comes with accessories like different brushes, and eyeliner pencils can sharpen themselves. Using this gives you a smooth finished look

– Liquid Eyeliner: These are the best kinds of eyeliner as they are waterproof and do not smudge. The shape of the brush also gives you the ability to create the perfect shaped drawing around your eyes. However, you need to have a bit of experience under your belt in applying eyeliner before utilizing this tool the right way to get the best results. Using this gives you a bold and glamourous finish.

Third step: Choosing a colour

The influence of colour when it comes to makeup and fashion is undeniable. It is no different with eyeliner. So the more experience you get with eyeliner, the bolder your colour choices can become.

For beginners and experts, black is the go-to colour as it goes with any colour of makeup and clothing. Darker colours like dark brown and dark blue can also be used in a lot of situations.

As you keep applying eyeliner, you will need to study up on complementary colours. Once you understand what colours can go together and what shouldn’t, you can start to venture into brighter colours and even start using two different eyeliner colours simultaneously.

Fourth Step: Applying eyeliner

The following tips will help you apply eyeliner perfectly.

– Hold the eyeliner in a comfortable position. The correct position will ensure you have a steady hand. This might mean you need to prop your hand on a table or use one hand to steady the other. Whatever feels comfortable and allows you the greatest amount of control is the method you should use.

– Start off by drawing a line that starts at the outer bottom corner of your eye and extend it to follow the curve of your bottom eyelid. Draw it as far as the edge of your eyebrow. Lift the applicator up and draw another line the starts from the end of the first line and finishes at the edge of your top eyelid.

– Colour it in. Make sure to colour it in with lines drawn in one direction; this isn’t a colouring book. Extend the top line of the triangle all the way to the inner edge of your eye, towards the nose.

– At last, after finishing the top eyelid, move to the lower one. Adjust the thickness of the eyeliner based on your eye shape, as mentioned above.

Conclusion

Your eyes are a vital part of your aesthetic. Therefore, it is crucial that you practice and learn to apply it the right way as it can be the difference between looking beautiful and tired. The right eyeliner will make your eyes stand out and increase your level of attractiveness exponentially.
