Rockin’ the Perfect Eyeliner: Tips From a Professional

Rockin’ the Perfect Eyeliner: Tips From a Professional

How to be a Redhead had the privilege to be beautified by professional makeup artist, Hillary Wehrle. For the fall season, we are true advocates of redheads rocking dark eyeliner. Thanks to Hillary, it has become our signature look and we are here to share the secret on how redheads should apply the perfect eyeliner:

1. Prep Your Eye. Apply a shade of concealer that compliments your skin around your eye and eyelid to cover up dark circles and imperfections.

2. Apply an Eyeshadow. As pictured, Hillary applied Elf Studio’s Beige Matte Eyeshadow, but make sure to choose a shade that expresses your personality! Other recommendations are shades of purple and grey. The eyeshadow is meant to not only compliment your eyes, but to also help make your eyeliner pop.

3. Use a Pencil before Liquid. It is brilliant! Using a black eyeliner pencil, start from the inside of your eye and draw a line across the eyelid. We like to go a little farther outside the corner of the eye to achieve a “cat eye” look.

It doesn’t need to be perfect because next, you’ll be taking your black liquid eyeliner and going over the penciled line. The liquid will add a spark to your liner and will give you the ultimate, signature look.

4. The Finish. Apply some black/brown mascara and you are good to go! We were always taught to only apply mascara on the top lid, but this fall, we’ve been experimenting with mascara on the bottom lid and we think it looks great too.

This season is all about expressing your redheaded-ness, so go for it!
