My Mom taught me this trick to apply liner on hooded lids in just 1 min with 0 effort. Here’s how it works

This guideline helps maintain consistency between both eyes, which is often a challenge when applying eyeliner. By establishing a clear endpoint, you can easily connect the dots to create a uniform wing on each eye.

With your guideline dot in place, use your eyeliner to draw a line connecting the dot to your upper lash line. For best results, use a smooth, continuous motion to create a clean line. This step forms the wing of your eyeliner, which should extend naturally from your lash line to the guideline dot.

If you’re using a liquid liner, ensure the applicator is adequately coated but not overloaded with product to prevent smudging. For pencil liners, keep the tip sharp for precision. This single swipe technique minimizes the need for multiple passes, which can lead to mistakes and uneven lines.

After connecting your lash line to the guideline dot, refine the shape of your wing by slightly thickening the line at the outer corner. This ensures the wing remains visible when your eyes are open. Use small, controlled strokes to build up the liner gradually, focusing on the outer third of your eyelid.

Check your work frequently with your eyes open to ensure the liner maintains its intended shape. If necessary, use a cotton swab or an angled brush dipped in makeup remover to clean up any imperfections and sharpen the edges of your wing.

This technique is particularly effective for hooded and uneven lids because it takes the natural contours of your eyes into account. By mapping out the liner with your eyes open, you can create a line that enhances your eyes’ shape without disappearing into the crease.

Additionally, the use of a guideline dot ensures that both eyes are symmetrical, addressing a common challenge for those with uneven lids. The method’s emphasis on minimal strokes reduces the likelihood of smudging and allows for quick corrections if needed.
