Steps
Wash your face and dry the eye area. Apply a light eyeshadow base or a little powder so the liner grips and does not smudge.
Sit at a mirror in bright light. Rest your elbow on the table and your little finger on your cheek to steady your hand.
Draw a thin line along the upper lash line from the inner corner to the outer corner, keeping it close to the lashes.
At the outer corner, extend a short straight flick upward toward the tail of your eyebrow. Keep it short at first.
Join the end of the flick back to the lash line to form a small triangle, then fill it in with the liner.
Thicken the line slightly in the middle of the lid if you want a bolder look. Keep both eyes as even as you can.
Check both eyes in the mirror with your face relaxed. Fix any uneven edges with a cotton swab dipped in micellar water.
Let the liner dry for a minute before curling lashes or applying mascara so it does not smudge.
Tips and common mistakes
Start with a thin line and build up, since it is much easier to add liner than to remove it.
Draw the flick with your eye open and looking straight ahead, not with the lid stretched tight.
Keep a cotton swab and micellar water nearby to clean up mistakes without redoing the whole eye.
Practice the flick shape on the back of your hand a few times before trying it on your eye.
Questions
Which eyeliner is easiest for beginners?
A fine-tip felt pen or a gel liner with a small angled brush gives the most control. Pencil liner is softer and harder to make sharp.
How do I make both wings even?
Draw the flick on the side you find harder first, then copy that angle and length on the other eye. Check both eyes straight on in the mirror.
Why does my eyeliner smudge during the day?
Oily lids and watery eyes cause smudging. Use a powder base on the lid and choose a waterproof or long-wear liner.
