Get Jen Aniston, Taylor Swift and Megan Fox's Liner Looks! - Parade Magazine

What beauty topic does celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman get the most questions about? Liners! Whether they're brow liners, eye liners, or lip liners, women want to know the tricks to get their look just right. Here are some great hints from Brett to make sure you're using your lining tools to the best of their ability.

LIP LINER - Even though we're seeing a lot of deeper lip shades for the upcoming season, a soft and casual daytime look, a la Jennifer Aniston, is always in vogue. Jen's unstructured nude lip liner topped with a great gloss looks dewy and fresh.

Here's how to get Jen's look:
*Prep lips with a satin finish lip balm but don't use anything too waxy or greasy!
* Fill in the entire mouth lightly with a warm, nude, peach or pink lip pencil. Try a shade or two darker than your skin tone. The outside line should be the same light shade as the fill-in on the rest of the lips. Pad your finger over lip line to diffuse color a bit.
*Apply a shimmery apricot or soft pink gloss shade to moisten the lip. Voila - the perfect inconspicuous lined lip!
EYE LINER - Theatrical winged out liquid liner is becoming popular with celebs like singing sensation Taylor Swift and reality TV starlet Lauren Conrad. The look feels very modern, yet has roots in vintage Hollywood.

Here's how to get Taylor and Lauren's look: *Start by sweeping a nude matte eye shadow over the entire lid. This gives the eye a smooth surface to create the swept-out liner look.
*Choose a solid black liquid liner for the most impact. Beginning on the outer corner of the eye, go very close to the lash line and dot and dash from tear duct to outer corner. Start very thin and close to the lash line for the crispest results (fatten up the line later for more drama). Once the natural lash line is defined, finish by extending the outer corner out and up toward the temple.  
*For best results, jut your chin out to open up your lid/lash line and keep chin jutted out until the liner is dry, about a minute. 
BROW LINER - Bold is in for brows! Fuller brows make a statement and are all the rage. But even if you weren't born with big, full brows, you can add impact to your arches with a structured, dramatic brow line like Megan Fox.

Here's how to get Megan's look:
*Begin by shaping brows very crisply. Pluck away any hairs that are clearly out of place and focus on the area in-between eyes. It's very important to have a tidy brow for this dramatic look or else the fill-in can look messy and unnatural.
*Fill in the brows behind the hairs with a brow pencil that matches your eyebrows. To amp up the arch and shape, fill in just above the brow from front to tail. This thickens the brow and gives a touch of lift.  
*Use a small spoolie brush or clean mascara wand to blend and refine the pencil.
*Once your fill-in is complete, take a touch of brow gel and brush hairs up and out.
