Step 1: Locate the lash line.
Before applying eyeliner, gently lift your eyelid with your finger to expose the lash line. Apply the liner as close to the lash roots as possible for a natural look. The key is to fill in the gaps between lashes bit by bit.
Step 2: Apply eyeliner in small strokes.
Perfect eyeliner isn't drawn in one continuous line. Press the liner tightly against the lash line and apply in tiny, incremental strokes to avoid gaps or unevenness. Finally, use a cotton swab to smooth any rough edges.
Step 3: Extend the outer corner for a more flattering look.
A subtle upward lift at the outer corner enhances eye shape. When applying liner, gently extend the line upward at the outer edge in one continuous stroke for a smooth finish.
Step 4: Blend for a natural finish.
After applying eyeliner, gently blend along the edges with a cotton swab in small sections. This creates a seamless transition with your eyeshadow for the most natural-looking liner.
Step 5: Connect upper and lower lines to enlarge eyes.
Ensure the outer end of the lower liner connects with the upper liner, filling any empty space at the inner corner. This instantly creates an eye-enlarging effect.
Step 6: Define the inner corner for enhanced beauty.
Gently lift the eyelid to reveal the inner corner. Following its natural curve, lightly trace with eyeliner, extending slightly beyond if desired. This elongates the eye's appearance.
