1. Study your eyes
If you have small eyes, to enlarge them, opt for a line of eyeliner that starts from a third of the eye (and not directly from the tear duct) and that goes larger at the end, closing with an elongated quote.
If, on the other hand, you have large eyes, the line of the eyeliner can easily start from the inner corner and can continue to the end of the eyelid and also extend to the lower rim.
However, if you have ball eyes or slightly downward, avoid totally outlining them, both above and below, otherwise the result will be to accentuate the roundness and shape.

2. Choose the most suitable type of eyeliner
To understand which eyeliner is best to choose, you must first know which makeup you want, simple and everyday or sexy and ultra sensual? And most importantly, you must be aware of your manual skills.
The classic eyeliner is liquid eyeliner with a brush tip, not recommended for beginners because it is difficult to control, especially if you want to draw a fine line.

Then there is liquid eyeliner with a velcro tip, which makes things easier because it allows greater control, but requires a light and even touch.
The gel eyeliner implies the use of a brush, but allows you to have a line with a homogeneous color and a precise stroke, of course it takes a bit of practice.
The last option is the eyeliner pencil, which is easy to manage and ideal for those who do not want the final quote.

3. Apply a base
The base is essential before applying the eyeliner, because it allows it to last longer and be more homogeneous. On the clean eyelid, apply a veil of powder or a natural eyeshadow: both will allow the eyeliner to adhere better to the skin.
4. Get in position
Approach a mirror - better if you can use a tabletop - find a comfortable support for the elbow and keep your hand as still as possible. When you start to apply the eyeliner keep the eyelids half closed but do not pull the eye outwards otherwise the line you will draw will have an unnatural shape.
