Apply eye primer or a light dusting of powder
Hold the liner close to the lash line
Look slightly downward into a mirror
Begin at the inner corner or middle of the lash line
Draw small, short strokes instead of one long line
Keep the line as close to the lashes as possible
Connect the strokes to form a smooth line
Make the line thinner for a natural look
Make the line thicker for a bold look
Wing the liner outward if desired
Match both eyes as closely as possible
Clean up any mistakes with a cotton swab
Finish with mascara
