The first thing to keep in mind when applying liquid eyeliner is: do not try and draw a straight line across your lash line. Think about, how many of us can even draw a straight line on a piece of paper? When you begin to apply the liquid you need to use a very thin brush and make sure that there is not too much product on it. Then begin at the inner lash and work in small dashes until you get all the way across your eye. This will help you draw a line without making you too nervous. If you need to you can gently pull your eye outward to your ear so that you can more easily draw a line. Pulling on your eye will also help you to keep one eye closed while the other is open so you can see what you are doing.
The next step to making the liquid eyeliner line look fabulous is to blend. Blending is the secret to perfect make up application. Take a slanted eye shadow brush and dab it into a bit of eye shadow that is the same color of your liquid eyeliner: e.g. black or brown. Then draw the brush across your lash line directly across the liquid eyeliner. Adding the powder will help soften the line and make the liquid liner look better and will smooth out any smudges on your eye.
If you have gone too far outside of the eye or the liner is too thick just continue to blend. You can also take a bit of eye make up remover on a cotton swab and gently edit what you have placed on your eye. That is the beauty of make up, you can always edit. There is no permanence to what you are placing on your face. You are enhancing the natural beauty of you. Take your time, play and one day you will be a liquid eye liner master.
