If there’s one makeup item that’s both a blessing and a curse in the beauty world, it’s the eyeliner. When applied well, it transforms the eyes into a statement of elegance and allure. But when misused, it can turn a beautiful face into a harsh caricature.
Makeup, at its best, is a form of art. It should enhance, not overpower. Through subtle manipulation, the face becomes a canvas of sophistication and charm. And eyeliner, though small in size, plays a mighty role in this transformation.
Used correctly, eyeliner can instantly elevate your look—bringing in a dash of glamour with just a flick of the wrist. But for those who want to go beyond the basics, coloured eyeliners offer an exciting twist. Think electric blue, rich green, royal purple, shimmering gold, silver, even glitters—each one capable of creating an unbelievable transformation.
However, in Nigeria, the challenge is not lack of enthusiasm—it’s misuse. Proper application is vital. The goal is glam, not drama gone wrong.
Always remember the golden rule: “Less is more.” If you opt for a bold blue liquid liner on your upper lid, balance it with a subtle black pencil on your lower lash line. Never pair sharp, contrasting colours on both lids simultaneously—it disrupts harmony and distracts rather than enhances.
Black remains the classic choice—versatile, timeless, and able to complement any colour. Whether you’re going for subtle or striking, black eyeliner always has your back.
A tip for beginners and pros alike: Start with a slim line. You can always build it up for intensity. Correcting eyeliner mistakes, especially with liquid or cake liners, can be a messy business. So it’s always better to layer slowly than to regret a bold stroke.
In the end, eyeliner is your secret weapon. Wield it with precision and intention—and you’ll always be runway ready.
