How to apply Eyeliner
Step 1: Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy and charcoal accent light eyes well, while brown and plum shades flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.
Step 2: Draw a line across the upper lid just above the lashes, from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. If you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye.
Step 3: If you used a brush or a pencil, soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger
Step 4: Line the lower and upper lids. Moving from the outside edge inward, draw a line on the outer two-thirds of the lid or more, depending on the look you're going for. Your line should be slightly thicker at the outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose. Using your brush or pencil, lightly stroke the area. If using a liquid liner, apply it in one smooth stroke. Apply less color so your eyes don't appear raccoonlike.
Step 6: Apply mascara. ( To define lashes and look longer)
For having Kareena look:-
Line your upper lash line, you can either use gel or liquid liner, or, if you wish, dip a stiff eyeliner brush in black eyeshadow. Make a thin line along the upper lash line and thicken the line slightly when you reach the outer 3/4 of the lash line. Extend the thickened eyeliner slightly past the outer corner of the eye.
Line the inner rim of your lower lid with a black kohl pencil. If you want the smokey look then with an ear bud or smudge brush, smudge evenly around the eyes going outwards. Keep lining and smudging till you get the desired look.
She uses fake lashes most of the time and sets it up with mascara and Kohl!

How to apply Lipstick and Lip Liner
Lips liner are the best when one wants to highlight lip features as lip liners give the best definition. If you have lips whose edges are not str8 then with apply lighter lip liner towards inside the lips which will draw the edges to give more prominent shape. Then follow the tips given below:
If you have large lips and wanna make it look slim then apply the liner towards inside but if you have slim lips and wanna make it look large then apply outside the edges. Always use sharpen pencil to define the lips. Sharpen to get rid of any bacteria. B4 sharpening refrigerate it for sometime which will avoid the breaking of the color while sharpening.
This is my fav tip to keep my lipstick long lasting and avoid leaving any stains on my lips! This is how it's done:
1. Moisturize and Exfoliate lips: Apply any lip balm or Vaseline on the lips and with your tooth brush in slow motion rub it on to exfoliate it. This will remove the dry skin and keep the lips smooth and well moisturized!
2. While applying the foundation, apply on your lips as well! ( This will act as shield bw lips and lipstick)
3. Line your lips with lip liner and smudge it. Also apply the liner on the lips to hold ur lipstick for a longer time.
4. Apply lipstick with a lip brush as it will give more flawless look and also help you controlling it.
5. Dap it once on the blotting paper and reapply for longer stay!
6. Apply gloss to give plump look.
