Any good advice for applying eye liner to top lids?

Stretch out the lid with your fingers so that the eyelid is taut. Then try. It makes it a hell of a lot easier! Apply it right to the lash line. What also may help is putting pencil eyeliner on the inside of the lid and you mascara so its all dark, and it should eliminate any pale bits.

Start with a sharp liner, and first draw a line that is as close to your lash line as possible. Then, go back and draw the line however thick you want it to be, but instead of making one big line, draw little tiny lines that connect together-it's easier to get it straight that way.





Is it still not straight? No worries! Just grab a q-tip, lick one end (or place a drop of water on it), twist it around on the back of your hand so that there's no cotton fibers sticking out, then run it along the edge of the line you drew...this should smooth it out.





Liner still not close enough to your lash line? Again, no worries! Get a matte black eyeshadow (if your eyeliner is black) and a liner brush or any thin or flat brush, and use that to brush some black shadow along your lash line. It will blend right in the with liner and get really close to your lashes and in between your lashes to cover any spots.
Right well first of all make sure its liquid and has a thin aplicator brush. I use a rimmel londond one its great. Secondly, make sure you are in front of a good clear mirror and have good lighting. Now heres my trick to getting eyeliner perfectly straight. Shut the eye your applyling it too and then stretch your eyelid by pulling the skin on the outside corner (near your hair). This way there will be no creases in the skin for it to go bumby and you eye will be slightly open so you will be able to tell how low to do it. Hope I helped.
Are you using liquid liner?? If so, try drawing a line in pencil first and then go over the top, this helps me alot.


Or if you are just using pencil, instead of drawing a big line just do tiny little dashes.
put mascara on first, that way you will have an idea of where to put it. stretch your eyelid out and glide itright to the bottom of your lashes/ skin., almost as if u missed a spot on the bottom of ur lashed
along with all the other top tips - i am really unsteady but try to be as steady as possible and whatever goes wrong i wipe away the messed up bits with a wet cotton bud - if ur careful u can only wipe off the wobbly part and leave urself with the desired look
when using a liquid eyeliner, close your eye and stretch your skin a little and make sure you apply the eyeliner in one go and do the touch ups, one day you will get there.
