How To: Apply Liquid Eyeliner for Beginners

How To: Apply Liquid Eyeliner for Beginners

Liquid liner can be a little intimidating, but we think it’s a go-to beauty product that every woman needs in her arsenal. We took Eyeko’s brand new Fat Liquid Eyeliner for a test drive to show how simple it is to get a natural, everyday eye look. The size of the tube enables you to keep a steady grip and the pen style applicator allows for precision, whether it’s for a simple cat eye or a bolder, graphic look.

Beginners: have no fear! In this video, we’ll show you some easy tips and tricks to getting a perfect smooth line, so you never have to fear liquid liner again!

What You Need:

Step-by-Step
1. Tip your head slightly back and look down into your mirror.
2. Place your elbow securely on a table or flat surface, then rest your hand on your face (a steady hand equals a smooth line).
3. If you need to, use your other hand to gently pull your eye taut—but avoid tugging!
4. Start your line wherever you feel comfortable—the midpoint and inner corner are both popular options—and place the liner tip as close to your lash line as possible.
5. Use small strokes to draw dashes along the lash line. Applying slightly more pressure will draw a thicker line.
6. Dab the liner to fill in any gaps.
7. Your liner should start thin in the inner corner, and get thicker toward the outer corners.
8. Dip a cotton swab in makeup remover and gently drag along the top of the line to remove any bumps.
And you’re finished!

  9. this worked so good now i know how to wear eyeliner😁🤣

  10. This is so helpful

    All good for top but bottom not balanced.
    Need liner applied to bottom water line.

  12. Where is the cute tail? :((

  13. Gel, liquid, or pencil—choosing the right eyeliner is key to that perfect finish. I love how versatile they are for both casual and glam looks! 💁‍♀🖤

  14. Nice 👌. Watched n subscribed your channel friend. Stay connected new friend. Good wishes from Zoeya Kitchen

  15. I’ve always envy people who know how to do makeup. So im gonna start learning🎉

  16. This is 2024 now and you don’t draw liquid liner you hold it side ways and get a perfect application by stamping 😊

  17. I think part of my problem is I have a few eyelash hairs that grow a little further up than the rest. Does anyone else have this problem? Should I just pluck them?

    I always have a hard time applying my black or blue liquid eyeliner. I’ll have to keep repeatedly playing this video until I get it. Watching it for the first time tells me what I should do & how to do it but it takes a lot of practice. Hopefully I can master it some day. I also add at the corners of my eyes a thin curl wing(like a cat look). Thanks for this video, it taught me how to apply the liner at the corner of the eye first making a thin line then thicker from the middle to the end. Wow! We learn something new every day. Now on to look for video on how to apply eye brow pencil on my brows. I have uneven eyebrow that I have a niece who does perfect makeup(she could be in cosmetology) but she she does mine, she gets very frustrated & gives up. I think I’ll look into getting my brows tatoo so that it’ll stay permanent for years but I bet’cha the person who will do this might give up just like my poor niece who couldn’t do it for me. I’m sad! 😞

  28. Trying to do eyeliner while having dyspraxia and hardly being able to see out of one eye is certainly a challenge.. that I’ve yet to complete-

  33. my eyelids twitch around when they feel the brush, how can i stop this?

  34. That was just a line dragged along the upper eye! No wing, no audio, you had to look away at the tutorial to read what she was doing! Doesn’t deserve one star.

  35. What about the wine?

    As a lefty, applying eyeliner on my right eye has always been challenging. I want to learn to do makeup but this eyeliner always mess up the whole thing.

  39. omg mu mom is biginer ty for help i need in buwan ng wika

  40. Fantastic!👍

  41. @deannagreen2006 April 1, 2025 at 12:17 pm

    Great video appyling Liquid Eyeliner becky 3/6/25.

  42. Imagine having to take off your glasses and trying to do it 😭

  43. I haven’t worn makeup in years and anything around the eyes is VERY intimidating to me. One eye will be just fine, but I guess I got a twitch or a bit of crookedness in my other eye because the job always ends up botched. Even my best friend doing it for me wouldn’t work and I avoid mascara on purpose because it just gets messy on that eye.
    I hate the "fake lashes" look a lot of mascara makes, but it’s nice to see how liner looks. It gives it some definition without being overboard.
    I’m practicing before work to see if I can pull this off. If not, hopefully this week I’ll have it down and next week’s shift I can start fresh with it as a habit.
