Steps
Start with clean, dry eyelids. If you use eyeshadow or primer, apply it first and let it set so the liner grips better.
Rest your elbow on a table and hold a mirror slightly below eye level. This steadies your hand and lets you see the lash line.
Draw small dashes along the upper lash line from the inner corner outward. Short strokes are easier to control than one long line.
Join the dashes into one smooth line, keeping it as close to the lashes as you can. Thicken it slightly toward the outer corner.
For a small wing, extend a short line from the outer corner following the angle of your lower lash line.
Connect the end of the wing back to the upper lash line and fill the small triangle. Keep the wing short for a beginner look.
Clean up any wobbles with a cotton swab dipped in a little makeup remover. Sharpen the edge of the wing this way.
Let the liner dry fully before opening your eyes wide or applying mascara. Check both eyes in the mirror for evenness.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep both elbows on a table and look down into the mirror to reduce blinking and shaking.
Do the wing with your eye open first, then fill it in with the eye closed.
Use a pencil for a softer, more forgiving line and a liquid liner once you feel confident.
Keep the liner out of the inner waterline if your eyes are sensitive or you wear contacts.
Questions
What liner is easiest for a total beginner?
A soft pencil or a fine felt-tip liner is easiest to control. Liquid brush liners take more practice because they set fast.
Why does my eyeliner smudge during the day?
Oily lids and watery eyes cause smudging. Use a primer or a little powder on the lid first and choose a smudge-proof liner.
How do I make both wings match?
Do the harder eye first, then copy the angle and length on the other side. Check them straight on in a mirror, not from the side.
