Hi, my name is Camila :)

I bought liquid eyeliner (from e.l.f) and tried it for the 1st time! Unfortunately, it was a mess, and it ended up getting into one of my eyes. I'd like to learn how to use it, though, because I feel like pencil liner isn't as precise. Is there a special technique for this?

(P.S: YouTube tutorials aren't helping me much.)

Use small strokes when applying it instead of one line. also when I was learning I would draw my eyeliner on lightly with eyeshadow or an eyeliner pencil and then go over it with the liquid liner. you can also use tape on your outer corner of your eye to get a nice clean line if you're trying to do a wing effect.

You should buy a different eyeliner. I have it and it sucks. It doesn't work good.

As long as you don't get it onto your eyeballs. A damp qtip will definitely fix it if you are happy with the thickness or shape

Just keep practicing. Also place your hand on your cheek and your arm on something so they're steady.

Girl the elf one you're using is the worst liquid liner I've ever tried, maybe that's why you're having trouble! It's usable but I found it way more difficult than other liquid liners xoxo.

Elf liquid eyeliner is worthless crap. I know from experience. Try gel eyeliner if you still want a liquid look or maybelline liquids work great, too.

I have maybelline eyeliner and use it everyday. It's easier to apply than any other one I've tried. All Elf eyeliners are rubbish.
