Alice Coopers eye liner and your own: what you have in common

How to apply black eyeliner and not look like Alice Cooper

I like Alice, but the eyeliner he wears is a bit bold for the fall season trend. It may be perfect for Halloween, but that's a different story.

As for now, we are going to work with pencil, liquid and creme/shadows.

Pencil: sharpen it and gently roll the rough edges off on the back of your hand. Start at the outside corner of your eye and very gently pull the eyeskin taught for a smooth surface to work on. Work in a smooth stroke next to the lashes and make several soft lines to form one line when blended.

Step back and assess if you need to add more product. It's up to you if you want to stop at the iris or line completely to the nose which will give you a more dramatic look.

Liquid: I like the kind that come in a pot with a dip brush inside them. This is such a bold '60's mod look. I love it! The line must be very thin for day, but for evening and going out..make a bold line that flares at the edge of your eye. Pair some false eyelashes with the liner and your eyes will stand out boldly like Twiggy.

A word of caution here: my opinion is to always work from the outside in because if you start at the nose or center of the eye and work out then the line is big at the center and can make you look cross eyed.

Most eye shadows can be used wet as well as dry. There are some crème pot eyeliners that can be purchased also. You will need a good stiff slant tip brush for this eye lining project. Wet the brush and dip it into the corner of the shadow. If you diddle it around in the center of the shadow pan you can ruin the shadow.

When it makes a loose paste it is ready to be applied just like the liquid liner. This style gives a softer smudgier look than the liquid or pencil liner. Plus it opens up your choices for eye lining colors.
