One of the most important things a woman can do with regards to improving their makeup expertise is to start with the basics. With eyeliner that means being able to sweep a straight line from your inner to outer lashes. Don’t expect to be able to pick up your eyeliner pencil and draw a perfect smudge free line the first time. As with all things, this will take practice before you get it right.

For good basic eyeliner, I would recommend a long-lasting kohl pencil such as Prestige Waterproof Eyeliner here. First close the eye you intend to line first and pull the lid of that eye taut. Then take your pencil and run it along the tautly pulled lid. Wiggle the pencil in between your lashes until you have lined to the outer edge. Go over the line a second time, this time adding thickness if desired. The third step is to take an angled or chiseled brush and smudge the line into your lid. Smudging is important, especially if you made a crooked line.

Your ultimate goal isn’t to create a straight line. It’s to create a smooth one that appears as if it’s been blended in. The look is more subtle and less harsh.
