Imagine this, you’re almost getting the winged eye right and by a stroke of hard luck, it’s on your cheeks rather than on your lids. You can’t trust shaky hands or unforeseen jerks, right? This isn’t limited to the notorious eyeliner, because the mascara, brow pencil, and eyeshadows also demand enough patience and skill.
Reworking on the makeup for eyes is a painstaking process, but how about fixing it? That doesn’t take an eternity nor claims the end of your wits. Here’s how you can fix your eye makeup without losing your mind!
Use An Eyeshadow Base, Not A foundation
If you notice that your eyeshadow slides off and needs fixing, use an eyeshadow base before you put on eyeshadow. This ensures your eyeshadow sticks to the base and doesn’t fall on your cheeks every time you blink! Using a foundation in place of a base will invite creases, so stick to the eyeshadow base.
Apply Liner In Dashes
If you notice that your eyeliner looks uneven or faded, apply it in dashes so that it settles between your lashes. Faded eyeliner often looks more light when you put on intense mascara. Solution? Dash and connect the eyeliner.
Go Over The Eyeliner With A Gel Eyeliner
If the last point didn’t correct a faded eyeliner, this one surely will. Pick a thin-tipped gel eyeliner and go over your eyeliner stroke. Since gel eyeliners are deep and pigmented, they never look faded.
Fix The Racoon Eyes
A huge mistake when it comes to makeup for eyes is applying concealer before eye makeup. That’s a big no no! All that falling eyeshadow specks will give you raccoon eyes. How to fix it? Some setting powder and a layer of concealer.
Go Over The Mascara With A Spoolie
Clumpy mascara can make anyone pull their hair out in frustration. Here’s a lifesaver, comb the lashes with a spoolie after the mascara has dried. Start combing from the base and wiggle towards the tips. Fixed it!
Keep A Q-tip And Micellar Water Handy
Never go near the tap to wash away smudged eyeshadow or a messed-up wing. Dip a Q-tip in micellar water and gently correct any eye makeup mistakes. After all those eyes makeup products are precious, you don’t want to wash them all away just because of a small mistake!
Use Setting Powder Over Creases
Eyeshadows and undereye concealer can crease during the day and make the eye makeup look unappealing. Sprinkle and dab on some setting powder so that your fine lines look balanced and less evident.
Fix Brows With A Damp Spoolie
In your quest to achieve intense feathery brows, did they end up looking too bushy and messy? Wet a clean spoolie and brush through your eyebrows. This way, any excess brow powder or brow gel will be evenly distributed. You can clean the spoolie and repeat the process if you want to reduce the intensity of your brow makeup.
Use A Blotting Paper Over To Subtle Things Out
Take notes from the people who always carry a blotting paper with their makeup palette. That thing is a saviour for bleeding makeup! If you’ve applied creamy eyeshadow or a kohl kajal, it can bleed during the day. Grab hold of a blotting paper and fix such errors!
Using these hacks to fix your eye makeup will make your eyes look so on-fleek that everyone will be left simping over it! Don’t let little mistakes ruin your mood; there’s a fix for everything and anything out there! Until next time, keep winging it!
