Create a dotted line on the eyelid. Use eyeliner pencils to create tiny dots just above the lashes and lids. Try to draw as close to the rim of your eyelids as possible, this can make your eyes look larger. To do that, you have to be close to your lashes.

Connect the dots. Draw a solid line to connect the dots. Instead of drawing a solid line, draw short solid lines to keep the lines even and neat. You should start to draw from the outside of the eye into the inner eye.

Perfecting eyeliner. You should pay attention to concatenate all the dots. Walk around the line to avoid missing irregular or broken parts. You can also make lines a bit thick to hide imperfections, or use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to remove excess or thick lines. advertisement

Method 2 of 6: Try Different Eyeliner Styles

1. 

   Draw the lower lids of the eyes. Although the lower lids of the eyes are much smaller than the upper lids and usually don't need a line, you can add an extra line to make the eyes more impressive. Use the same way as for the upper lids, but for the lower lids, draw ½ of the line from the corner of the eye to the corner of the eye.
   • You should only do lower lashes if you have top lashes. Otherwise you will look sick or your eyes look like a panda's.
   • Connect the eyeliner on the upper lash line to the lower lash line at the corner of the eye with a light, pointed line. The ends of your eyes should follow the shape of your eyelashes to look natural.
   • Do not draw lower eyelashes on the tear glands. Since the eyes normally secrete water naturally throughout the day, the eyeliner line that is close to the tear gland puts the tear gland in danger of clogging the tear glands and possibly leading to bad eyes.

2. 

   
   
   Inner eyeliner. This step is to line the base of your eyelids, along the lashes. This can be quite difficult for some people, it requires firm hands and good eyes. Use eyeliner pencils to draw lines on both the top and bottom.
   • For a natural look, you can point this line without the lines above and below the lids. Using a cream-based eyeliner is easier because it's the softest and easiest to draw on of the 3.
   • Eye contour by thick lines above and below the eyes will give you a deep and seductive look. This eyeliner is often used for special occasions to make your eyes really stand out.
   • Use a white eyeliner. The white marker will make your eyes look bigger and brighter. Line the upper and lower lids with a white eyeliner then use dark colors above and below the lids to make the eyes look as big as possible.

3. 

   
   
   Apply cat eye-style eyeliner. Cat's eye (or winged eye) is to draw only the upper eyelid and then the outer rim of the eye. You should draw upward at the end of the eyebrow and draw pointed at the end, the lashes will look a lot longer.
   • Draw double wings by drawing 2 pointed strokes slightly upwards towards the corner of the eye.
   • Use 2 eyeliner layers to bring out the colorful "cat eyes". Use black eyeliner to draw the outer wing, then use another color to draw it right above it.
   • The wings of the "cat's eye" should be carefully drawn and not blurred. Water eye liner is the easiest option for you.

4. 

   Blurring the eyeliner. For a smoky, smoky look, use your finger to blur the eyeliner along the length of the upper lash line. Do not rub it hard, just blur it gently to make the lines look out of focus. You should only do this for upper lashes and not lower lashes.

5. 

   Make your eyeliner thicker. For casual wear, try to put your eyeliner as thin as possible for a more natural look. However, when you go out or want to be more stylish, apply thicker eyeliner to make your lashes look thicker. advertisement

Method 3 of 6: Create Natural Lines

1. 

   Start with the outline of the eyelids. Dab a brush on the gel-based eyeliner and begin to line the eyelids. Lining inside and out of your lashes is easier when you want a seamless, even line.
   • Make sure the eyeshadow brush is completely immersed in the eyeliner and that there is no excess ink on the eyeshadow brush.

2. 

   Center border. After creating even lines around the eye contour, use a brush to contour the center of the eye. Connect the lines inside and outside the eyelid border.
   • Try to keep the brush close to the lashes and keep the line short as you draw the eyelashes.
   • Should draw slowly at this step. Rushing in can blur the lines or even get you drawn in the eye.

3. 

   Add "wings" at the corners of the eyes. You can skip this step if you just want to look simple. For a more dramatic look, use curvature of your lashes to help you create "curled wings" towards the back of your eyes. Then connect the "wings" with the upper eyelid line.
   • Check for uniformity of the two "wings" after you are finished. If they are uneven, correct it or use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to wipe one of the wings, then draw.

4. 

   Eyeliner for the upper tear gland. You can also outline the upper tear line if you want. Use the same color for eyelid liners for tear lines.
   • It is recommended to use waterproof eyeliner because the gland usually tears in the day. You can also use a cotton swab to dry the tear gland before applying it.
   • Be very careful when you line the tear duct because it is right next to the eyeball.

1. 

   Create the background. First, put on your eyelids with neutral colored eyeshadow. Next is a slightly darker color. For example, you could choose a skin-colored eyeshadow, followed by a light brown color.
   • Use a large soft brush to brush each layer of eyeshadow on the eyelids.

2. 

   Apply eyeshadow to the corners of the eyes. Apply a layer of dark brown eyeshadow. The aim is to accentuate the eyelids and give an accent to the cat eye effect. On the corner of the eye where you just brushed the brown powder, continue to apply a layer of black eyeshadow.

Depending on your preference, the faint smoke color can be champagne, cream or white. Focus the eyeshadow on the center of the eyelids using a soft brush to blend.

4. 

   Eyeliner on top. After completing the eyeshadow step, you can start with the upper eyeliner, choose the black eyeliner. Draw the inner and outer eyelids of the eyelids, followed by the center line.

Method 5 of 6: Use Adhesive Tape to Create Straight Lines

1. 

   Stick a piece of tape over the end of the eyelid. It should follow a triangle angle when applying the tape. The tape should be at a diagonal angle from the bottom of the eye to the brow.
   • Make sure to create equal diagonal angles for the eyes. If not, the wings after drawing will be uneven.
   • The angle of adhesive tape can be large or small depending on you, but be aware, the larger the angle, the sharper your eyes are. If you want less sharp eyes, adjust the magnitude of the stickers.

2. 

   Eyeshadow and eyeliner. Do these two steps as usual. Make sure to put the eyeshadow and eyeliner right on the edge of the tape. This will create a nice, sharp line when you peel off the tape.
   • It does not matter if you apply chalk and / or put a pressure on the tape.

3. 

   Peel off the tape. When you're finished applying the eyeshadow and eyeliner, just peel off the tape. You should now have the desired straight and sharp eyeliner. advertisement

Method 6 of 6: Choosing Eyeliner Type and Style

1. 

   Choose an eyeliner. When you choose eyeliner, there are a few factors to keep in mind. Eyeshadow is usually in the form of lead, cream or water (ink), and each has different advantages and disadvantages.
   • For the softest and sharpest lines, use cream-based eyeliner (brushed with eyeliner) or water-based eyeliner. It is the easiest way to close the eyelids.
   • If you want thick and bold eyeliner, use a pencil eyeliner. Eyeliner can deliver thicker and darker lines than cream and water eyeliner.You can easily use the tip of your finger, the edge of a brush or cotton swab to blur it out.
   • If you don't have eyeliner, you can use eyeshadow to mix with a few drops of water and use a brush to brush. It doesn't hold the color for as long as a traditional eyeliner but is quite cheap and easy to use.

2. 

   Choose a color. Eyeliner is also available in a variety of colors, so you can choose to match your outfit or hair color. For example, consider a casual brown eyeliner if your hair is blond. If you have dark hair, wear black eyeliner.
   • Choose quality eyeliner to achieve a beautiful eye color that will last throughout the day. Check out online reviews of different types of eyeliner before deciding to buy.

3. 

   Choose for yourself the type of eye you love. Do you want a smooth daytime look or a mysterious look at night? Consider the thickness of the lines as well as how they should be drawn, on the eyelids, under the eyelid or both.
   • If you like simplicity, then choose a thin line and don't add "wings" or just draw light wings at the corners of the eyes.
   • If you want to look more dramatic, then start with the eyeshadow, then apply bold eyeliner and add "wings" to the bottom of the eye.

Advice

• Don't use a large-headed eyeliner, instead use a small one that can be easily drawn and erased. This applies to all eyeliner styles.
• Make sure your eyeliner is sharpened regularly or it will be difficult to draw.
• If the eyeliner you're using can't draw straight lines, heat it up with a hairdryer, which makes it easier to draw. Remember to heat it up, not make it melt.
• If your skin is dry, your eyeliner will be prone to smudging, you will need to apply some cold cream and wipe it off before applying eyeliner. It will provide enough moisture so the lead color can be easily adhered to the surface of your skin.
• You can use a waterproof eyeliner if you don't have an eyeliner. Use a cotton swab or sharp-tip brush to draw the mark.
• Clean the eyeliner regularly with makeup remover or mild shampoo.
• Using a powder over your eyeliner will help your eyeliner last longer and look softer.
• Try to draw the wings first and then draw colors will be easier.
• Instead of using a white eyeliner, using a skin-colored eyeliner or peach on the lower eye contour will look more natural and still look beautiful.
• To wash off the eyeliner, gently wipe it off with a wet cloth.
• Remember to draw both eyes.

Warning

• Avoid sharing eye liner with others as it can pass the bacteria from person to person. If you do need to share, clean the lead with a little bit of makeup remover or alcohol to reduce the risk of infection.
• The inner eyelid of the lower eyelid can cause eye infections.
• Be careful with the amount of eyeliner you use. Try to be as limited as possible.
