4 Tips for Beginners
Keep the following tips in mind to achieve the most natural and beautiful eyeliner look:
- When applying eyeliner, gently pull the skin at your temple or look downwards to ensure a straight and close line.
- Before applying eyeliner, use an eye primer to make the eyeliner last longer.
- If you have larger or smaller eyes, adjust the thickness of the eyeliner to create a more balanced look.
- When creating a cat-eye look, use tape or a spoon to create a sharp and symmetrical wing.

- For your lower lash line, use eyeliner pencils or eyeshadow to create a natural look.
- Avoid lining only your lower lash line as it can create an unbalanced appearance.
- When lining your lower lash line, use a white eyeliner to make your eyes appear larger.
- If your eyes are close together, draw only ¾ of the eyeliner line. If your eyes are set wider apart, start drawing from the outer corner to create balance.
