Doing eye makeup can be one of the trickiest parts of the entire makeup process. With so many steps and products involved, going wrong with eye makeup is easy. But with hacks by your side, you can ace eye makeup techniques like a pro. So, here are some eye makeup hacks that professionals swear by and that are totally doable by even an amateur.

Melt the pencil down
When you melt down your eye pencil, it glides more smoothly over the skin. This is one of the most important eye makeup hacks that professionals swear by. Whenever you use creamy products, warming them up a bit can help you blend them better. If your kohl has been sticking on your eyelids or it takes multiple applications to get the color that you desire, melt the pencil down a bit before applying it. You can do this by holding the tip of the pencil over a lighter for few seconds. Allow it to cool down a bit before applying. Before you use it on your eyes, check the consistency by applying it on your hand.

Use white eyeliner to make your eye shadow stand out
To make sure that your eye shadow does not look pigmented and looks more vibrant, apply a layer of white eyeliner on your eyelid before applying the eye shadow. Now on top of the white layer, you can start to apply for eye shadow. The white liner will give an opaque coverage and make any eye shadow look more vibrant.

Wear an eyeliner that is smudge-proof
If your eyeliner smudges during an event, it will not only ruin your eye makeup, but it will also mess up your entire look. Therefore, wearing an eyeliner that does not smudge is the best option. There are eyeliners available in the market that do not smudge. But they can be a little expensive. If you don’t wish to invest so much, you can simply layer your kohl with an eye shadow. This will prevent the eyeliner from smudging.

Do your eye makeup before anything else
Eye makeup can require multiple attempts sometimes to get the desired results. For this, you might have to apply, remove, and then reapply the makeup several times. Therefore, it is recommended by many makeup professionals that you do the eye makeup first, even before applying a foundation and a concealer. This will help prevent any disruption in the parts of your face that already have makeup applied. You can also make use of eye shields to apply eye makeup.

Replace your eyeliner with eye shadow
This is another eye makeup hack that can save you from making a makeup blunder. If you are not too great with applying eyeliners, you can use a dark eye shadow and apply it with a super thin brush that is angled. This will give a more blended look to your eyes.
