You may be new to make up and be wondering how to apply eyeliner . This can take some practice and at first you might even be a little self conscious in public  .

Apply the eyeliner on the lower and upper lids starting at the middle of the eye . If you completely encircle your eye with a liner, it creates a look that may be theatrical. Start in the centre of the lids and apply in an outward stroke. It may help you to imagine that you are following an invisible line as you apply a line to your lower lids under the lash line.

You can create a smoky look by smudging the outer corners of your eyes after you have used a pencil . Be careful not to smudge the line entirely off or the look will be that of a raccoon .
