back combing is kind of like teasing your hair. you take the back portion of your hair at the crown, pull it foward or up and tease it down with a comb or hairpick, then smooth it backwards. It would help if you have shorter layers on the top or back of your hair. I hate liquid eyeliner. I won't even use it, but revlon makes a couple of really good pencil eyeliners that are soft so try that. Or you could try one of those thick eyeshadow pencils in black. they make a thick line, go on easy. Personally, the whole back combing and overabundance of eyeliner is kind of on the waning side of fashion. I would consider doing something else totally different. By the time you get the hang of back combing and eyeliner, it'll be out of style. Look at some current foreign fashion mags for inspiration. The psuedo emopunk hair is kind of lame. I see a lot of hip kids in their 20s and 30s doing the old fashioned styles from the 40's on up which are way sleeker and . The rock hair that i think you're going for is kind of an 80s thing and if you pay attention to trends, some other decade will soon be popular, most likely the 90s (i know, totally weird, but i am seeing more flannel and combat boots than usual). don't go to so much trouble to do your hair, honestly, it makes you look self absorbed. just take the natural beauty of your hair and run with it. go to the ukhairdressers site for ideas.
backcombing: run the comb or brush from the tip to the root of the hair instead of the normal root to tip





Liquid eyeliner tip: pull your upper eyelid towards yor ear and apply, release when done
backcomming is teasing your hair instend of your combing root to tip you do tip to root section your hair and hold it up and comb down wards and for eyeliner: i really dont like liquid i use pencil but try pencil i really dont now how to use liqiuid sorry %26lt;333
For the eyeliner, try using a magnifying mirror so you can see better what you're doing. Some people hold the outside edge of the eye taut to help make it easier to get it even. Pencils are easier than liquid, thought.
From I what I see it's fine.I guess u would me scene I do use liquid eyeliner(i hate) I use it sometimes u just have to try and try again it took me the whole of last summer to get it but if u want tips I will give them too just email me.as for backcombing it's just another word for teasing this is how I tease my hair:


A good way to get lift up on top of your hair without back-combing, is to lift up sections of your hair and spray a good hold hairspray to the root underneath, immediatley after you spray use the blowdrier to dry the hairspray quickly and you will have great lift with out getting your hair all knotty, hairspray is the key to getting lift at the top
