No matter how hard I try I can never seem to get my eyeliner perfect. Any tips for getting a nice straight line?

You could use a flat eyeliner brush if you're using gel eyeliner :)

Practice, practice, practice! And keep a steady hand, if you're hand is shaky your line wont be very straight, try using little strokes to build up your line the way you like it. I also rest my elbow on something and lean closer to my mirror so i can see what im doin :)

Don't draw it on all at once. Line your eyes in smaller strokes. Liquid eyeliner is great for precision. For gel eyeliner, use an angled eyeliner brush.

Practice! I heard making small dots on the eye helps so you can "connect the dots" (:

For Leonard eyeliner, use tape to match the end of your eye with your browbone. Draw a line there and try to look strait to avoid blinking.
