I have trouble with the liquid type. I don't have a super steady hand and I find they tend to be less fogiving with the look than the pencil type. I think it just takes practice practice practice. Eye liner is one of the first types of makeup that I started experimenting with years ago, so I have only gotten reasonable with it by trial and error.

Found a little secret with liquid eye liner. I use it only on the top, but when i use it I dab it off on a kleenex and then apply it gives a better line. Also I rest my hand on my cheek when I apply.

I like the pencil eye liner for the lower lid just start at the inside and draw out it takes a little to get the crayon material to soften and apply.

Hope that helps keep trying it will get easier.

I don't use either. I use eyeshadow with an angled brush. It's easier to apply and easier to remove and it doesn't wear off half way through the day/night and is easier to apply underneath your lower eyelashes.

I apply the liquid type to my upper lid after the mascara and the stick type to the lower, before the mascara---that usually gives Me the exact look I want---smolderingly sexy

Tamara, I do that too, more often than I use an eyeliner pencil. That's a great tip.

When my friend did my makeup for me last week, thats exactly how she did it, but she dipped the brush in a little water first to darken it and make it spread easier. Looked awesome :)

Thank you very much for your the advice and tips...Hugs xx

Im not sure I have seen the angle brush type (eyeshadow) will google it to find out more...

I know GG's learn to apply eyeliner over the years, just wish I could do a reasonable job..........

Has anyone any pics of how the eyeliner looks after they have applyed it.

Hug to you all

Thank you so much for that tip Tamara.
I just happened to have an angled brush lying around and some black eyeshadow so I thought I'd give it a go, and it's great. Goes on much easier and more even than eyeliners. Looks nice too :D

Another make-up tip, from GypsyKaren; if you're using a pencil, blow on it a few times with your warm breath before you use it. This will soften it up a bit and make it easier to apply. The rest boils down to practice, practice, practice...it does get easier with time.
