Applying Black eyeliner

Applying eyeliner can be difficult. In this easy tutorial you will learn how to apply eyeliner like a pro.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Black pencil eyliner
  1. Step 1

    First gently clense the eye with warm water and a cotton ball. This will get rid of any grease, or left over make up from before. You can also use an eyemake-up remover either in liquid or cream.

  2. Step 2

    Dry the eye completly with a tissue. If the eye is wet it will be more difficult to apply the liner, also it will smudge.

  3. Step 3

    Close the eye and pull gently on the outside corner of your eye making the surface tight. Begin to draw starting at the inside moving out. If you want a little flare on the outside of your lid, just continue following the shape of your eye out.

  4. Step 4

    The bottom eyelid is a little more easy. Gently pull down your eyelid and start to draw close to to the lash line. Start inside and work your way out.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have a wobbly hand, try steadying your elbow on the counter.
  • You can also make dots along the eyelid and then connect them. It may be eaisier than drawing one straight line.
