What are good tips for applying a pencil eye liner?

i have a pencil eye liner and it never seems to go on easily...any tips?What are good tips for applying a pencil eye liner?
BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL. Use a dull tipped pencil. It's always fun until somebody loses an eye.What are good tips for applying a pencil eye liner?
Start from the outer part of the eye and draw inwards. Use a pencil that is sharpened, but make sure the liner is soft enough for easy application. I like Clinique, Mary Kay's, and Almays eye liners. If you have blue eyes, brown liners are great. Black is always a staple color. I prefer black-browns for a softer effect. You can also soften the liner line by smudging it with your finger a little bit.
Draw a line across the upper lid just above the lashes, from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. Soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger. Your line should be slightly thicker at the outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose. Using your brush or pencil, lightly stroke the area.
It depends on what type of look you're going for.





For a Rounder Eye... use white eye liner on the inside of your eye %26amp; a dark brown or black on the upper %26amp; lower eyelids. If you don't have an eyeliner smudger, use your ring finger to smudge the eyeliner slightly, so it's not such a harsh line.





For a Catty looking eye...use black or dark brown eyeliner on the inner eye. Then line the upper lid with the same color. When applying mascara, don't put any on the lower lashes, and when you apply to the upper lashes...brush the lashes toward the outer eye, not straight up. That will give you more of a Cat Eye.
Roll it on the back of your hand a few time to warm it up. Some brands of eye liner are too hard and need warmed to soften up. When applying it, make sure you slightly rest your hand on you cheek, or if you need to, hold your penciling hand at the wrist with you other hand (for support). This should help give you a nice even line. And remember, don't push hard...just glide along the lashes!

I heat up the tip of the eyeliner with a blow dryer for about 7 seconds, this melts the tip a little so that the liner will be easier to apply and it will not tug on your skin. Then i rest my elbow of the table and lightly smudge small strokes on my lashline from the outter corner to the inner (towards the nose).





Hope this helps. It took me a few months to get my eyeliner to look nice
They have ';softer'; ones that will apply easier. The only thing is that then it also smudges easier.





I usually pull the corner of my eye to straighten out the skin and that helps a lot but I've been told this is ';not good for your skin';. Oh, well.
- wet the eyeliner


- tilt your head back


- strech your eye like a japenese eye


- rest your arm on something





I love eyeliner :)
