I recommend extending and lifting the liner from the very end of the upper lash line. To do this, apply the liner to the upper lash line, stopping just before the outer corner of the eye. After that dries, flick the liner upward. Using a traditional brow shape for reference, aim the liner toward the end of the outer brow.\n\n<em>See how the perfect brow should be shaped on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Makeup-Theory-Creating-Balance-Handout.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">page 9 of the webinar handout<\/a>.<\/em>\n\nAlternatively, you can use liner on the lower lash line to lift the eye. Avoid making the line too thick or heavy when you turn the outer corner into a cat-eye. Making it too thick will result in the eyes being pulled down. When you come up from the lower lash line, you still want to aim the flick toward the end of the brow to get the perfect lift.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_recommend_magnetic_lashes\"><\/span>Do you recommend magnetic lashes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nMagnetic lashes have their pros and cons. They are more expensive than the false lashes you can get from professional makeup supply stores (e.g. Frends Beauty, Alcone Makeup). Some artists swear by them because the more expensive pairs feel light and effortless to the wearer. But learning to properly apply magnetic lashes takes time and effort. The best tip for applying them is to settle them into the lash line after giving the natural lashes a great curl and mascara application.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37654&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]Some people complain that the lashes fall off when in close contact with others.

The natural curl can open the eyes, but the lashes also have a tendency to go in every direction. They may even curl around and poke the eye!\n\nWhen I have clients with super curly lashes, I use a heated lash curler. It works like a hot iron, encouraging the curly lashes to fall into line and take the curl shape you want them to have. And if you over-straighten the lashes and they lose their lift, don\u2019t fear! Simply give your lashes a few gentle pumps with your manual curler. Be patient if you try this approach. The lash hairs can be stubborn.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_trick_for_mature_eyes\"><\/span>What is the best trick for mature eyes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/08\/makeup-for-mature-skin-the-dos-and-donts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maturing skin<\/a> will naturally lose some of its elasticity. You should expect a bit of slack in the skin. Since slack lids have more natural lines and creases, you want prevent your makeup from settling into them as the day wears on. There\u2019s one products in your makeup kit that\u2019ll save you\u2014your primer! Always begin with an eyeshadow primer to ensure your hard work stays on!\n\nDuring makeup application, you may find that your client\u2019s skin moves under your makeup brush. This means you\u2019ll need to anchor it. To do so, gently place a finger below the arch of the brow and lift slightly. Remember, this will change the natural placement of the skin, so be sure to keep that in mind when applying the mid-tone, crease, and highlight shades.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37655&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_build_eye_shadow_on_sensitive_eyes\"><\/span>How do you build eye shadow on sensitive eyes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe best thing to do when working with sensitive eyes is to work quickly\u2014but still delivering your best work.\n\nUse a quality primer suited for sensitive eyes and highly-pigmented shadows to get colors that read-well on the skin. If you\u2019re using richly-pigmented shadows, you\u2019ll be able to build color with only one or two swipes!\n\nAlso, ask your clients to keep their eyes closed for a few moments after application. Sometimes, the pigment particles are still floating in the air. They can irritate more sensitive eyes. Another trick is to use soothing eye drops a few minutes before application.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_way_to_draw_a_wing_when_using_a_liquid_liner\"><\/span>What is the best way to draw a wing when using a liquid liner?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe best way is to trace along the upper lash line. You should keep the line very thin in the inner third of the eye, and slowly graduating in thickness until you reach the outer corner.

You can achieve this using number of different eyebrow products, including pencils, powders, or brow gels. The secret is to keep the hair-like strokes as thin and precise as the person\u2019s own natural hair. If you\u2019re using a pencil, be sure to keep it sharp. If you are using a brush, be sure it is tight and can apply thin, crisp lines.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_apply_under-eye_concealer_without_it_creasing\"><\/span>How do you apply under-eye concealer without it creasing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThere are two reasons why products below the eyes will crease.\n<ol>\n \t<li>The product is applied too thickly<\/li>\n \t<li>The product is not set properly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nYou may think that sheer products would not work with clients who have dark under-eye circles.

The sheer application will blend with the color underneath, creating a perfect skin tone that makes the eyes look awake and alert. Set this sheer layer with mica- or silica-based powder, and apply and set another sheer layer as needed. Building and setting sheer layers will keep the heat around the eyes from melting the product.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37657&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_products_do_you_recommend_for_dark_under-eye_circles\"><\/span>What products do you recommend for dark under-eye circles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe best way to neutralize dark circles is with a color corrector. My product of choice is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evepearl.com\/collections\/eye-concealer\/products\/dual-salmon-concealer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer<\/a>. If the skin is properly color corrected (see the question above for application tips), there should not be any reason to apply additional shadow colors.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_your_biggest_suggestion_for_double_chins\"><\/span>What is your biggest suggestion for double chins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nA soft contour along the jawline will recess the area and give the appearance of a sharper jaw. Be sure to apply the contour gently. Over-application can make your contour look like a dark strip of color or a slight beard shadow.

That\u2019s why understanding skin is a secret weapon to anyone serious about makeup application.\n\nIf someone has dry skin, a hydrating primer with a silicone base will be your best friend. The silicone base will allow for prolonged absorption of the hydrating ingredients while keeping the surface smooth for a perfect finish. Combining it with a hydrating foundation keeps the dryness at bay. Ingredients to look for include hyaluronic acid and sea whip.\n\n<em>Click here to learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/skincare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QC\u2019s Skincare Course<\/a>.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37660&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_turn_a_normal_makeup_look_into_a_fantasy_makeup_look\"><\/span>How do you turn a normal makeup look into a fantasy makeup look?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2019\/02\/master-makeup-artistry-course-sample-fantasy-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fantasy makeup<\/a> is when makeup is used in an unconventional or unique way. There are a million different ways you can transform natural makeup into fantasy makeup. Some examples include extending a cat liner straight down instead of angling it up, and curling the end of the eyebrow up to mimic the shape of an elf\u2019s shoe.\n\nThose specific examples may not be flattering, but the point is that fantasy looks can come from anywhere. My only tip is to think it through. Be thoughtful with your makeup application. Know what you are trying to express with your makeup. Many great fantasy looks have turned into trends.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_your_tips_for_building_a_professional_makeup_kit_What_are_the_most_important_products_to_start_with\"><\/span>What are your tips for building a professional makeup kit?
