How do you apply liquid eyeliner to the upper eyelid?

Ive tried and i cant do it right. It messes upHow do you apply liquid eyeliner to the upper eyelid?
look into a mirror, balance the elbow of the hand you're going to use to apply the eyeliner on the counter or something steady. Keep your eyes OPEN- not wide open, but enough so that you can use both eyes. then appy from the inner corner in one stroke to about the middle of the eye. Then find where you're going to want the line to end and make a stoke inward to meet where you left off with the first stroke. If you make a mistake or wanna re-shape a little just dampen the end of a q-tip and wipe it away just above the eyeline.


By the way, I highly reccommend Almay Amazing I-Liner in black!How do you apply liquid eyeliner to the upper eyelid?
Hold the brush (or whatever utensil it is) in your dominant hand, try stretching your eyelid up and a bit to the ouside (ie. away from your nose). This helps open up the area and lets you get right in to the edge. Good luck! Practice practice practice.
Very carefully.
First of all, make sure that your liquid eyeliner has a thin brush applicator that measures at least 1 cm long and no more than 1.5 mm in width (the actual brush).


It has to be liquid (if it started to dry out the results wont be as good).


Then, you have to take the applicator out, but make sure you don't have excess of liquid in the brush to avoid a mess. Start from the lacrimal part of the upper lid (the inside part of the eyelid). You have to tilt your neck a little bit back (do not do it with your eyes wide open) and slowly start drawing a line, as close to your eyelashes as possible. When you are half way done, stop, look how it looks, and take more liquid w/ the applicator and continue until reaching the outer side of your eyelid. Always trying to stay calm and as close to the eyelashes as possible. Never do this in a hurry, and your hand needs to be as stable as possible to get beautiful results! Hope this helps!
Like all things practice makes perfect! so practice on a weekend or something when you dont have to see people..itll pay off, theres a good soldier!
