Why is Applying Eyeliner Over Eyeshadow a Thing?
Why bother layering eyeliner over eyeshadow? Simple: depth, dimension, and drama! Eyeshadow provides a base for your eyeliner, allowing it to grip better and last longer. It also adds a layer of complexity to your eye look, making your peepers truly pop. Think of eyeshadow as the foundation and eyeliner as the architectural masterpiece! 🏠➡️🏛️

1. Prep Work: The Foundation for Flawless Application
Before you even think about picking up your AquaGlide, you need to prep your eyelids. This is crucial for a smooth, long-lasting application. Think of it like prepping a canvas before painting – you wouldn’t just slap paint on a dirty, uneven surface, would you? (Unless you’re going for the abstract "lived-in" look, which is also valid!)
- Cleanse: Start with a clean, dry eyelid. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any oil or makeup residue.
- Prime: Apply an eyeshadow primer. This creates a smooth base for your eyeshadow and helps it adhere better. It also prevents creasing and fading. We recommend ZenaMakeup’s Eye Prime Time, naturally! 😉
- Set (Optional): If you have oily eyelids, you can lightly set your primer with a translucent powder.
2. Tools of the Trade: What You Need to Succeed

3. The Eyeshadow-Eyeliner Compatibility Guide (aka, "Will This Even Work?!")
Not all eyeshadows are created equal, and some play nicer with eyeliner than others. Let’s break it down:
-
Matte Eyeshadows: These are generally the easiest to work with. They provide a smooth, even surface for the AquaGlide to glide over. The key is to make sure your matte eyeshadow is well-blended to avoid any patchiness. 💯
- Pro Tip: Lightly set your matte eyeshadow with a translucent powder before applying eyeliner for extra staying power.
-
Shimmer Eyeshadows: Shimmer eyeshadows add a beautiful dimension to your eye look, but they can sometimes be a bit trickier to work with. The key is to choose a shimmer eyeshadow that isn’t too chunky or glittery. 🌟
- Pro Tip: Use a flat, dense brush to pack the shimmer eyeshadow onto your lid, then blend the edges with a fluffy brush. This will minimize fallout and create a smooth base for your eyeliner.
-
Glitter Eyeshadows: Glitter is gorgeous, but it can be a nightmare for eyeliner application. The glitter particles can create a bumpy surface, making it difficult to draw a smooth line. ✨
- Pro Tip: If you’re using glitter eyeshadow, apply a thin layer of clear eyeshadow primer over the glitter before applying eyeliner. This will help to smooth out the surface and prevent the glitter from transferring onto your eyeliner. Alternatively, consider using a liquid liner with a felt tip applicator for more control. Or, go bold and embrace the slightly imperfect, edgy look!
-
Cream Eyeshadows: Cream eyeshadows can be a great base for eyeliner, but they need to be properly set with powder eyeshadow. If the cream eyeshadow is too emollient, your eyeliner will smudge and transfer. 🍦
- Pro Tip: If you’re using glitter eyeshadow, apply a thin layer of clear eyeshadow primer over the glitter before applying eyeliner. This will help to smooth out the surface and prevent the glitter from transferring onto your eyeliner. Alternatively, consider using a liquid liner with a felt tip applicator for more control. Or, go bold and embrace the slightly imperfect, edgy look!
-
Cream Eyeshadows: Cream eyeshadows can be a great base for eyeliner, but they need to be properly set with powder eyeshadow. If the cream eyeshadow is too emollient, your eyeliner will smudge and transfer. 🍦
- Pro Tip: Set your cream eyeshadow with a powder eyeshadow in a similar color. This will create a long-lasting base for your eyeliner.
Table Summary: Eyeshadow-Eyeliner Compatibility
Eyeshadow Type | Ease of Application | Potential Issues | Solutions |
---|---|---|---|
Matte | Easiest | Patchiness if not well-blended | Ensure thorough blending. Lightly set with translucent powder for extra staying power. |
Shimmer | Moderate | Chunky texture can interfere | Use a flat, dense brush to pack shimmer. Blend edges with a fluffy brush. |
Glitter | Difficult | Bumpy surface, glitter transfer | Apply a thin layer of clear eyeshadow primer over glitter. Consider using a liquid liner. Embrace the edgy look! |
Cream | Moderate | Smudging and transfer if not set | Set with a powder eyeshadow in a similar color. |
4. Application Techniques: Mastering the AquaGlide
Now for the fun part! Let’s dive into some popular eyeliner techniques using our fabulous AquaGlide Eyeliner Pencil.
-
Tightlining: Tightlining involves applying eyeliner to the upper waterline. This creates a subtle definition at the base of your lashes, making them appear fuller. 👀
- How to: Gently lift your upper eyelid and apply the AquaGlide to the waterline, wiggling the pencil between your lashes.
- ZenaMakeup Tip: Use a cotton swab to dry your waterline before applying the AquaGlide for better adhesion.
-
Classic Winged Liner: The winged liner is a timeless classic that adds instant glamour to any look. It takes practice, but once you master it, you’ll be unstoppable! 💃
- How to: Start by drawing a thin line along your upper lash line. Then, extend the line upwards and outwards at a 45-degree angle. Fill in the wing and connect it to the rest of the liner.
- ZenaMakeup Tip: Use small, short strokes to create the wing. It’s easier to build up the liner than to try and erase a mistake.
-
Smudged Liner: For a softer, more romantic look, try smudging your eyeliner. This creates a smoky effect that’s perfect for a night out. 💋
- How to: Apply the AquaGlide to your upper and lower lash lines. Then, use a cotton swab or a small brush to smudge the liner outwards.
- ZenaMakeup Tip: Use a dark brown or gray eyeliner for a more subtle smudged look.
-
Double Winged Liner: If you’re feeling adventurous, try a double-winged liner. This is a bold, dramatic look that’s sure to turn heads. 😎
- How to: Create a classic winged liner, then draw a second wing parallel to the first one, leaving a small gap in between.
- ZenaMakeup Tip: Use a different color eyeliner for the second wing for a more striking effect.
5. Troubleshooting: Common Eyeliner Woes and How to Fix Them
Eyeliner application isn’t always smooth sailing. Here are some common problems and how to fix them:
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
Uneven Lines | Use small, short strokes. Don’t try to draw one continuous line. |
Wobbly Wing | Use an angled brush to clean up the edges. You can also use a piece of tape as a guide. |
Smudging | Use a waterproof eyeliner like the AquaGlide! Set your eyeliner with a translucent powder. Avoid rubbing your eyes. |
Transferring to Upper Lid | Apply eyeshadow primer to your upper lid. Set your eyeliner with a translucent powder. |
Eyeliner Disappears Quickly | Make sure your eyelids are clean and dry. Apply eyeshadow primer. Layer your eyeliner over eyeshadow. |
Can’t Get a Symmetrical Wing | Practice, practice, practice! Use a stencil or tape as a guide. Remember, eyebrows are sisters, not twins! The same applies to eyeliner. Don’t stress perfection; aim for harmony. |
6. Pro Tips & Tricks: Elevating Your Eyeliner Game
- Warm Up Your Pencil: Before applying, warm up the tip of the AquaGlide by drawing a few lines on the back of your hand. This will soften the formula and make it easier to apply. 🔥
- Use a Mirror Placed Below You: Looking down into a mirror placed on a table can help you get a better angle for applying eyeliner, especially when creating a wing. 🪞
- Connect the Dots: If you’re struggling to draw a straight line, try connecting a series of small dots. Then, fill in the gaps. 🔗
- Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment: Eyeliner is all about having fun and expressing yourself. Don’t be afraid to try new techniques and colors. 🎉
