How to Apply Eyeliner for Stage Makeup

Hi! I'm Sarah Mclellan and we are in New York City. Today on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to apply makeup for stage. Now we're going to move on to doing our liner. As you can see, this is quite a dramatic look, so we need to kind of even everything out and make the whole eye pop. As you can see, I'm going to start my eyeliner and I'm going to line my eyes both on the bottom and on the top. I have a really nice sharp jet-black pencil eyeliner that I'm going to use to go underneath my eyes to start with. We're going to start underneath and just kind of bring the eyeliner under and do it on the other eye too. Don't go too far under like I just did. Bring it around. On this one I've kind of given it a little bit too much, so you want to use your finger to kind of fade that. We're now ready to do the eyeliner on top of the lashes. For that, I like to use a nice liquid eyeliner just because I think it looks a little bit better once you've got that done. Just kind of pull your eye again because you can see how the eyelash looks a bit funny on top. You're going to use that nice liquid eyeliner to draw a straight line all the way to the end. As you can see, I've lined underneath my eyes and I've also done some liquid eyeliner on top. This just makes everything kind of pop for your eyes.
