How to Get The Perfect Line With Eye Liner

Eyeliner can add definition to your eye making it instantly appear bigger. Achieving a natural look with eyeliner can sometimes be tricky, but when applied properly the effects can be amazing. The idea is to make your eyelashes look thicker, while creating a slight contrast to draw attention to your eyes. Here's a few tips to help you achieve a perfect line.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Sharpen your pencil until the point is super thin. This will give you a more defined line.

2. Start on the base of the lash so you're actually touching where the lash grows. You want to get the line so close to the lash line that it looks more like a backing and not a obvious line.

3. With short strokes, create a line on your upper lashes. Short quick strokes are far easier than one slow controlled one.

4. To give your liner staying power. Top your liner with a shadow in the same color family. This will also prevent your liner from smudging.

Tips & Warnings

• To keep your eye liner from crumbling and breaking easily. Make sure you store it in a cool area. Or even try placing it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
