How do you draw a clean line with eyeliner?

Here are some tips that can help you draw a clean line with eyeliner. Practice makes perfect.

Try different types of eyeliner
There are different types of eyeliner, including eye pencil, liquid eyeliner or an eyeliner pen. Try out what works for you. Also keep in mind whether the formula is waterproof or not.

Apply your makeup in the correct order
It is best to apply eyeshadow first. It's a shame if your eyeshadow blurs your clean line. Mascara is best applied after applying eyeliner.

Let your elbows rest on the table If you are not that experienced with eyeliner, it is best to sit at the table and rest your elbows on the table for stability. Keep remover and cotton swabs handy so you can correct mistakes as soon as possible.

Relax your eyelid
Try to keep your eyelid relaxed. Some makeup artists advise against pulling your eyelid a little tight, but many people find that the easiest job. So it's a matter of trying it out. Start with a thin line, you can always make it thicker.

You don't have to put the line in one smooth movement
It is easy and gives a nice result if you can apply eyeliner in one smooth movement. Doesn't work? Then first put dots or small lines and connect them afterwards.
