Everyday eyeliner

thanx those are great tips

Those are good tips, but the only thing is when I apply liner to my lower lid it ends up on my skin later in the day.  So would I use the shadow and it will stop that on the lower lid too?

I just want to note that you should NEVER pull at the skin on your eye because it will stretch it out and if done until you grow old, you will look older than you actually are. NEVER NEVER pull the skin around your eyes. If you are having a hard time getting a straight liner because the pencil or felt gets caught on your skin, use small light stroked instead to get a straight line.

Everyday work or weekend.  

The key to the basic eye is to apply with a light hand. Unless you are Catherine Zeta-Jones or Beyonce and have been blessed with sultry dark looks, opt for a lighter shade than kohl or black. The basic eye is all about appearing natural. Leave the black for the looks below.

This look calls for liquid or pencil eyeliner, a deep-hued eyeshadow and an eyeliner brush.

Step 1: Holding the skin of your upper lid taut, apply eyeliner from the outside corner of the eye, stopping two-thirds of the way along the eyelid. Apply with short strokes, drawing the line into the lash line rather than above it. For a more dramatic look, make the outside line a bit thicker than the inside.

Step 2: Set liner with a deep eyeshadow. Dip eyeshadow brush into the shadow, then apply shadow over the eyeliner. This will set the eyeliner, which tends to rub off on eyelid.

Step 3: Apply eyeshadow to lower lashes. Using your eyeshadow brush apply the deep-hued eyeshadow along the bottom lashes, from the outside in. Unless you have wide-set eyes, don't line the entire lower lid. Instead, stop halfway across. For a more natural look, don't dip the brush into the shadow again, instead, use the excess that's still on the brush for the lower lashes.

Step 4:Clean up any mistakes with a cotton swab.

Extra tips: To make eyes appear wider, trace the inner rims of eyes with a white pencil.

I agree 100%--the skin around the eye is extremely fragile.  Using a better pencil will get better results.
