Below are some eyeliner tips that we have compiled for you to help you out in bringing out the best overall makeup look.  

Be in the Right Position  

You need to be in the right position before you apply the eyeliner. You should always grab the hand mirror to get your desired end result. You should have a close look at your eye when you start putting the eyeliner so that it does not get messed up.  

You should start applying the liner by holding it slightly below the eye so that your lashes are down. If you are a newbie in applying the liner, then it is recommended that you place your elbow on some table or hard surface so that your hands do not shake.  

Moreover, freeze your toes in one place. This probably sounds silly to you, but you will see that it actually works when you apply the liner through this technique.  

Use the Eye Pencil for Start-up  

If you have just started applying the liner to your eyes, and it always gets messed up. Then you need to start with the eye pencil. It is easy to grab on, and moreover, it is quite convenient to apply on the lid of the eye.  

Do not make a purchase of the liquid eyeliners that have tricky brushes to use or the gel liner, which are quite hard to apply. They might even get smudge when they go wrong.  

So, choose the eye pencil. Apply it like you are drawing a line on a page. It will smooth, and you will be good to go.  

Do Not Stretch Your Eye  

This is the common mistake that every girl tends to make at the start. You do not need to pull your skin off an eye. This will more likely smudge the liner and will not create a fine look.  

But if something does not go in your favor in the process of applying the liner, do not rub off the whole liner. Just pick a cotton bud, soak it in the makeup remover, and fix the liner accordingly.  

Soft and Sharp Eye look  

Once you are done learning how to apply the basic liner, you can then try different styles and ways to put the eyeliner. There are many dramatic, and soft eye makeup looks. For the daily makeup look, you should choose the soft look in which the eyeliner is subtle and look decent.  

If you are going on a date night or a party, you can go for the sharp line look. You will learn the different looks by just practicing it daily. The more you put liner, the better you will be in this art.  

Try Using the Tape   

Suppose you want to apply the winged eyeliner. You can put a tape on the edge of the eyes and then apply it. In this way, the excess eyeliner will be on the tape, and you will have a neat subtle eye line.  

Moreover, you can also use the trick of putting any card on the edge of the eye, this will help you make a perfect line and wing on your eyes.
