Sweep the eyeliner close to the root

Use eyeliner and carefully sweep ot across the lash line, do it from the outer corner of your eye to the inner corner of your eye. Do this till the lash line is fully filled in. This step requires very gentle touch that’s why out advice would be to try dobbing or even gently dotting liner along the lash. You should avoid bringing tenshion to the eye area.

Tip is to have some makeup remover in case you will have to clean up potential smudges. To do that use a cotton swab.

line lower waterline

Do not be like many other people and do not stop with upper lash line but go to even more intense tightline look. To reach this more intense look you should also line lower lash line. To make this happen you should pull lower lashes gently downward so the spaces between each of your bottom lashes will be seen. Now just take your eyeliner and fill in the space from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner.
