1. Gather your materials: To apply liquid eyeliner, you’ll need a liquid eyeliner pen or brush, a small handheld mirror, and some makeup remover and cotton swabs for touch-ups.

2. Start with a clean canvas: Before applying any makeup, it’s important to begin with clean skin. Gently cleanse your face, ensuring there is no dirt or oil that could interfere with the application process.

3. Apply eyeshadow primer: Primer helps prevent smudging and creasing and creates a smooth base for your eyeliner. Apply it to your entire eyelid.

4. Choose the right liquid eyeliner: There are different types of liquid eyeliners, such as pens, brushes, or applicators with a felt tip. Choose one that you feel comfortable using and that will give you the desired look.

5. Shake the eyeliner: Gently shake the eyeliner before opening it to make sure the formula is evenly distributed.

6. Position yourself for easy access: Position the mirror at eye level or below eye level so that you can see comfortably while you apply the liner.

7. Position your hand for stability: Rest the elbow of your dominant hand on a flat surface to keep your hand steady as you apply the liner.

8. Start at the inner corner of your eye: Apply thin strokes along the upper lash line, starting at the inner corner of your eye and working outward.

9. Create an even line: Keep the liner tip or brush close to your lash line as you create an even line across your lid toward the outer corner of your eye.

10. Create a wing (optional): If you want a winged eyeliner look, extend the line slightly beyond the outer corner of your eye in an upward flick motion toward the end of your eyebrow.

11. Fill in any gaps or uneven areas: Go back over any areas that need to be filled in, using small, precise strokes.

12. Clean up any mistakes: If you make any mistakes or your lines aren’t quite even, dip a cotton swab in makeup remover and gently erase any errors.

And that’s it! By following these 12 steps, you’ll have beautifully-applied liquid eyeliner for a stunning eye makeup look. Practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right on your first try. Keep practicing and soon enough, you’ll become a liquid eyeliner pro!
