Banana Eyeliner Tutorial With Makeup Artist Tips and Photos
How to Do the "Banana Eyeliner" Trend in 3 Steps
1
The first step of any solid makeup look is creating a smooth base by applying your foundation and concealer. We're liking the new Make Up For Ever HD Skin Undetectable Longwear Foundation (£35) for its buildable medium to full coverage and satin, real-skin finish. Jane Hughes recommends you "prime the brush" by mixing it around in the liquid foundation formula to coat the bristles then pressing it into the skin in dabbing motions. This gives you great coverage while also helping get rid of any brush strokes or texture on the skin.
To avoid creasing on your eyelids, Jane Hughes limits the amount of product she applies to that area. Once you're blended, she says to "puff your cheeks" by filling them with air and using your fingers to press the foundation into your nasolabial folds. Raise your eyebrows and repeat that process on your eyelids to keep the product from creasing there, as well.
Use the same "priming" technique with your brush to apply your concealer where you want to spot cover, like under your eyes and on blemishes.
