Takeaways

• 😀 Eyeliner can be tricky, and using an eyebrow brush can help sharpen the end for a more defined, finished look.
• 😀 Drawing eyeliner with brown eyeshadow as a guideline first can make it easier to achieve the desired shape, especially for winged eyeliner.
• 😀 Avoid pressing the eyelash curler too hard, and ensure to curl the entire lash, not just the root, for a natural, soft curl.
• 😀 A warm eyelash curler (using a hair dryer) helps set the curl and makes it last longer, preventing straight lashes.
• 😀 To prevent spidery lashes, use a spoolie to separate clumped lashes before applying mascara, ensuring a more natural finish.
• 😀 Mascara fixer, commonly used in South Korea, helps maintain eyelash curl before applying mascara for a long-lasting effect.
• 😀 Start your eyebrow pencil application towards the middle or end of your brow to avoid overly blending the front, which can look unnatural.
• 😀 Use brown eyebrow powder or eyeshadow to fill in brows for a more natural look, especially if your brows already have a good shape.
• 😀 Always apply eyeshadow along the lower lash line to complete the eye makeup and make the look appear more polished and blended.
• 😀 Use neutral, skin-toned shades for the lower lash line instead of deep or harsh colors to avoid drawing attention to the lower lash area.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the video?

The video focuses on common mistakes people make when doing their eye makeup and provides tips on how to fix them.

What mistake is highlighted regarding eyeliner application?

The mistake discussed is drawing a blunt or 'blonde' eyeliner, which can make the eye makeup look unfinished. The solution is to use a stiff eyebrow brush to draw sharp, straight lines.

How can one make sure their eyeliner is drawn evenly?

One suggestion is to use brown eyeshadow as a guideline before applying eyeliner. This makes it easier to shape the eyeliner and ensure it's connected properly.

What is the issue with using an eyelash curler too intensively?

Using the eyelash curler too intensely or focusing only on the root can cause unnatural bends in the lashes. The recommendation is to apply gentle pressure and curl the entire lash for a more natural look.

How can one avoid clumpy eyelashes when using mascara?

To avoid clumpy eyelashes, it's important to separate lashes with a spoolie after curling and before applying mascara. Additionally, using a mascara base or fixer can help keep the curl intact.

What is the common problem with straight lashes, even after curling?

Even after curling, some people experience straight lashes. To resolve this, it's suggested to warm up the eyelash curler using a hair dryer before curling, to help the curl last longer.

Why is it important to curl the entire lash and not just focus on the root?

Focusing only on the root can result in J-shaped lashes. Curling the entire lash creates a more natural, rounded curl that enhances the overall eye shape.

What is the mistake people make when filling in eyebrows?

The mistake is using a brow pencil to fill in the entire brow, especially at the beginning of the brow. This can look unnatural. Instead, using a combination of eyebrow powder or eyeshadow and drawing fake hairs at the tail of the brow can create a more natural look.

What is the effect of not applying eyeshadow along the lower lash line?

Not applying eyeshadow along the lower lash line can make the eye makeup appear unfinished. Adding a subtle eyeshadow there helps to blend the look and make it more polished.

What type of eyeshadow shade is recommended for the lower lash line?

A natural, neutral shade close to your skin tone is recommended for the lower lash line. Using deep or overly contrasting shades can make the makeup look too harsh or unnatural.
