Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Before you start

Prep the skin with a layer of foundation over the eyelids to help the eyeliner go on smoothly, although this is not essential.

Step 3: How to apply

Eyeliner can either be applied as a gel with a brush, as a liquid with a brush or fibre tip, or my personal favourite is a cream to powder eyeshadow in black or dark brown as it is easy to vary the thickness of the line.

Liquid eyeliner should be applied along the roots of the upper lashes working up and out from the inner corners outwards. If you can’t draw in 1 smooth motion, draw a succession of little lines along the upper lashes and join them up.

The line should be thicker at the outer corners of the eyes to make them look bigger.

Next, draw a line along the roots of the lower lashes, stopping halfway along and working from the outer corner inwards.

Step 4: The 'flick'

To create a ‘flick’ beyond the outer corner of each eye, press a credit card or ruler at an angle against the corner of your eye and draw along it.

Step 5: Mistakes

If you make any mistakes, use a make-up corrector pen or some cleanser on a cotton bud to wipe the make-up away.

    The flicks at the end of the eyelid aren't very nicely done. Always works best with liquid eyeliners... best to start off with the corner of the eye... stretching the eyelid like he did... making the flicks of the eyeliner to the corner of the eye. Once the flicks are done... bring in the eye liner towards the inner eye working your way to the eye lid, ensuring you have kept a smooth line from the corner to the end which is the flick. It is optional to merge the liner from the top lid to the bottom... and to do that... You can again stretch the corner of the eye and join the liner at the corner of the eye (not the tip of the flick) to the bottom lashes... and paint the liner over them towards the corner of the eye again... Once at the corner make a pointy shape that will join the top and bottom liner together and you're done!!! Probably sounds alot of hard work in writing... will work on gettin some videos done!
