Apply Eyeliner for TV & Movie Makeup

Video Transcript

Hi my name is Sonja Gjokaj. I'm the owner of Gjokaj makeup and I'm here with Expert Village to talk to you about makeup for production. Now we're going to talk about eyeliner or framing your eyes and how important this step actually is to really get a more professional, camera ready look. You can use a few different products. I really love cold pencils. Just make sure they're not too hard or too soft. If they're too soft they probably contain too much wax and then the product is not going to stay on for very long. If they're too hard they will simply just hurt on your client. They also in a liquid form and what I like about the liquid liners a lot is that their colors are usually very saturated and you can be very precise and you can also create more dramatic looks with that if that is ever required if you're doing a fashion shoot or something like that. I'm going to use a cold pencil for Shana's face right now just because I wanted to go for a more natural editorial look. So the best way to start is with a freshly sharpened pencil but you kind of want to get a little bit of the point off. The back of your hand actually works really well and what this also does is it kind of warms up the pencil a little bit so it won't feel as cold. So I'm kind of just rounding it off a little so it won't hurt. Again you're working with a real person and you want to be as careful as possible so not to hurt them. So with your finger you can kind of hold the lid a little bit away and if Shana closes her eyes you can just kind of trace along the lash line. What I like to do sometimes is to even rub a little bit in between the lashes so it really fills in any sparse areas especially if your client has lighter lashes like in this case. Perfect. And if you open your eye and you just look up onto the ceiling you can connect right here on the base. And a lot of clients often get a little bit teary eyed. That's not because they're sad that's just because they're usually not used to having someone else go into that area. But so just make sure you're gentle. And so just right along the lower lash line. You can just draw your line and you don't have to be too precise because after that we're going to blend them. After you draw in your line along the lash line if you close your eyes you can go ahead and blend the line. And that is really a very important step because only a blended line will look less harsh and more natural.
