This is a brilliantly helpful video, showing how to apply eyeliner, gel liner specifically, for a flattering look on a darker skin tone.
I'm going to show you how to apply gel liner for dark skin. I've got here Blacktrack by MAC, this is a waterproof gel liner and it lasts for ages, it also doesn't dry out that quickly so it can give you more time to apply the liner. I'm using a flat liner brush like this one, just going to apply it, not at the end but almost at the end, because I want to do the flick last.
Gel liner gives a very strong and dramatic effect, so it really shows up more on dark skin than pencil liner. So, to do the flick, you need to open your eyes, and you need to extend the lower lash line upwards. Now, I'm going to ask her to close her eyes and I'm going to extend the liner and link it up.
Just to finish it off, add mascara to give that dramatic effect. I use Max Factor False Lash Effect in black. That's how you apply gel liner for dark skin tones. .
