Eyeliner is a basic part of an eye-makeup which shapes and defines the eyes and makes the eyelashes look thicker. Eyeliners can make your eyes look bigger, gorgeous and dramatic. Eyeliner will usually be available in pencils, cream, or a liquid. For a smooth, fine line, a cream eyeliner or liquid eyeliner is the best choice. For a smudgy, blurred look, consider a pencil. Pencil eyeliners are easy to use good for beginners. In this tutorial we will discuss about eyeliner application using pencil eyeliners.

Applying Pencil Eyeliner
Beginning with the inner eye corner, draw a line as on your lash line as close to the root of your eyelashes as possible. If you find it easier, you could use short strokes of lines.

You could keep the line thinner towards the eye corners and thicker in the middle or as you would wish. If you like, you could smudge the first line slightly to make it softer using your finger or the opposite end of your pencil eyeliner.

Next, draw a line on your lower lash line working inwards. The line should be close to the lash line. Again, you could use shorter strokes if drawing a continuous line will be difficult to you.

The line should be thin on the outer and inner corner and thicker at the middle as in the case of upper eyelashes. Most makeup artists recommend you apply the lower lash line only half way from the outer eye corner. Repeat the process for the other eye.
