This is something I STILL have trouble with.
I found a video from Michelle Phan demonstrating how to apply pencil, gel, and liquid liner (this is why I love her).
Tip: Don’t pull your lids taut when applying — it can cause premature fine lines! I learned that also from Lost makeup artist Emily Katz, who told me holding it taut is actually counterintuitive since it causes more squiggly lines than preventing them! Her tip: keep your eyes open but downcast when applying!
What do you use to apply eye liner?

I always stretch my eye. Eeek . this was mad helpful.
this is awesome! the q-tip tip was genius, ive been stretching my lids every day for 13 years and have often worried about the repercussions. i hope its not too late. ive never had gel eyeliner, do you recommend any brands
Oh sarah, I always use the cream/gel liners on you! I listed my faves here http://tinyurl.com/nhltqj
the lady at the lancome stand taught me to just tilt my head back a little bit and then do small strokes against the lash line. no need to close eyes /stretch out lids. that was the best eyeliner lesson ever!
no i know you’ve used it on me, and i think maybe ridaa has too, i just have never owned it so didnt know what to buy. do you usually use the clinique on me?
Applying eyeliner correctly can be hard. Let’s face it, putting a sharp object near your eye with a shaky hand is a scary situation.
