Liquid eyeliner tips and tricks

If you’ve seen Sex and the City, you’ll know Sarah Jessica Parker’s look is all about lots of black liquid eyeliner, lush lashes, a bit of sparkle and a glowing complexion. It’s a look she likes so much she’s been wearing it on the red carpet, too.

So can you pull it off? Well Sarah Jessica is 43, so age isn’t a barrier. The key is finding a liquid liner that works for you and perfecting your application in the privacy of your own home. The rest of the look is subtle – SJP goes for a peachy pink glow on the cheeks and lips.

How to apply liquid eyeliner:

  1. Apply your eyeshadow as a base before using liquid eyeliner.
  1. There’s a fine line between bold eyes and scary panda, so apply your liquid liner with a light hand.
  1. Pull your lid taut from the eyebrow and then apply the liner from the inner eye outward, as close to the lashes as possible.
  1. If you struggle to draw on a solid line, simply dot the eyeliner between the lashes or apply with short strokes.
  1. Feeling shaky? Prop up your elbow on something solid first.
  1. Have cotton buds on hand in case you need to do a clean up.
  1. Lining just the top lid is a good option for smaller eyes
