Settle a debate for me:
Do you put eyeliner on before or after you put eye shadow on?
Does your answer change if you're wearing gel eyeliner?
Re: NBR: Makeup Question
I follow a beauty blogger (because I'm clueless about makup application and have to watch others do it) and she always seems puts hers on after. Is there a trick or something to putting on liner? No matter how steady my hand is I always look ridiculous with liner on.

Liner last, and I've never used gel liner.

My first job was actually in a makeup studio. I was always taught to do it after... and that is what I did when I was doing makeup on someone.

I always put eyeliner on after shadow, then smudge with my fingertip. I feel like I have more control when I use my fingers, plus they're cleaner than sponge applicatiors. I tried gel eyeliner a couple times, but it makes me look like Cleopatra and completely overdone for my life. Maybe one of these days I'll have someplace fancy to go!
I almost always do liner after eyeshadow. For every day, I'll use dark shadow with an angled brush so that it's a softer line. For going out or just to feel more done up, I'll do a dark pencil. I've never tried lqiuid though. I've also done a really bright eye liner with just mascara and no shadow.

I agree with the dark shadow. I am seriously godawful with a real eyeliner; gel, pencil, or otherwise. It's always wonky and way overdramatic for my tastes. But if you run a wet angled eyeliner brush through some dark shadow it's super easy, is pretty forgiving, and looks more natural. I'm not very adventurous either but it's easier to try things when you're not planning on going out. You're allowed to wipe it all off when you're done.
