- Hi, I'm Jeffrey Paul, celebrity makeup artist. And today I'm going to show you how to wear eyeliner and eye makeup. With eyeliner you can accentuate your eyes. You can do a period piece, you can do something dramatic or you can even make a smoky eye. Eyeliner is something that everybody can use and everybody can wear to make your eyes stand out. Today, I'll be using Maybelline Eye Studios Gel Liner. With a liner look, you can use either a small tip brush or an angle brush. If you're new at it, sometimes an angle brush can do all the work for you, and then placing the brush and using your eye as a guide. Using the longer tip brush, the small little pencil one, that actually can make a defined line, you might have trouble at the wing. So, I'll give you some tips. With a long tip brush, what you want to do is melt a little bit of product off in your hand. What this does is makes the bristles all form a long straight line. So lift your head, turn your right eye up and then you can actually, if the mirror is in front of you, you'll be looking slightly down. This exposes the area right above the lashes so you can do the liner yourself. I know it's always hard crossing your body, but if you lay the brush right next to the lashes, you can draw a line laying the brush and guiding going towards the inner corner. And then just slightly keep going a little bit further out, so that my line is gradual and continuous. And also for the inner corner, there's a brush for the inner corner and just drag it right along going slightly to the outer corner. You can see that this liner is longer. And that's done on purpose. Because you see the lower lashes, the lower rim, is an actual continuation of what that line would be. That's how you make a guide. If you want to make it thicker, more period like, you just start from the outer corner and keep building it in. So, now, I'm just going to take off a little extra. That was just to show you if you're doing like an Amy Winehouse or rocker kind of look, you can continue that or even a real strong cat eye that they do in fashion shows. We just want to accentuate Kimberly's eye. So, you can see there, that's how the line is done. Now, I'm just going to build it up, add some thickness and depth. Again, I take a little bit extra off the brush in my hand, let all the bristles go all in one continuous grouping, and it kind of flattens out the edge. And then I go right next to the corner of the eye and I just build it up making it sharper and more defined. It will look like this any strong line would look. It does give you a feeling of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. However, if you want to make it smudge, you can take your brush or fingertip and smooth out the area so that it's a natural blurred line. Also with this, if you look up, you lay the brush right next to the lashes, I'm doing a little bit where the lashes grow, on the outside going to the inside. I'm just letting the brush do the work as I guide it to the outside. To finish off this look, and to set eyeliner, you could take a small slightly beveled tip brush and just press in the shadow of the same color into the lashes under the lash line. This will set the gel liner or any kind of liner. Pencils actually give you more of a broader kind of definition. It could be smudged with a brush. They create more of a smoky eye, where liners give you more of a period thing. To finish off the look with just a taupey kind of gray color, I'm going to take a long bristled brush, and just in the outer corner, move my brush back and forth to have this corner join to the eye crease, to the eye socket, and just bring a little shadow around to add some more definition. This elongates the eye and gives you that cat eye look. Same on this side, I'm taking the tip of the brush, go right where the corner of the eye and the liner is, dragging it in to give it a little bit more definition, and swooping my brush around towards the nose. This again, is creating definition, making the liner stand out, not to take away from the liner but creating more depth and dimension. You can see that this look is predominant liner with just a little bit of compliment and shadow to give accent and definition. To finish off the look, I add a little bit of shadow and the definition in the crease, add a little bit of shadow to the liner so it gave you a more of a elongated cat look or smoky eye look. And there you have it. That's how you apply eyeliner and eye makeup. I'm Jeffrey Paul. Thank you for watching.
