5 eyeliner tricks you haven't heard before

Applying eyeliner is probably the trickiest part of your makeup routine but it's also the one that makes the most difference.

Though eyeliner definitely creates the best cat-eyes, it can be slightly difficult to handle if you’re a beginner.

Eyeliner is hands down one of the hardest beauty skills to master but it's also the one that makes the most difference.

Liquid liners are used for their precision, and usually come in tubes with a small brush, or “pen-style” with brush tips. They can take some time to dry after applying, though.

  • It’s always smarter to start with mascara. Why? You’ll see the full shape of your eye, so you’ll know exactly what to enhance with liner.
  • Lining your water line is a no-fail way to get a more dramatic look, but it tends to disappear in, well, the blink of an eye. To make it last longer and look more intense dip your black pencil into black cream liner before applying. Gently pull down your lower lash line and apply just along the rim.
  • If your hand isn't steady enough for liquid eyeliner, line your eyes first with a pencil liner, and then trace over it with liquid.
  • A smoky eye can be pretty labor intensive unless you try this quick cheat. Line lids top and bottom with black pencil. Then use a makeup brush or Q-tip to smudge on black or charcoal gray shadow. Simple. smoky in seconds.
