1. Understanding Your Eye Shape: The Key to Eyeliner Success

Think of your eye shape as the canvas for your eyeliner masterpiece. You wouldn’t paint a landscape on a portrait canvas, would you? (Okay, maybe you would, if you’re a rebellious artist, but you get my point!)

Here’s a quick guide to identifying your eye shape:

Eye Shape	Characteristics	Eyeliner Goals
Almond	Tapered at the corners, slightly upturned. Iris is slightly hidden by the upper and lower lids.	You can rock almost any eyeliner style! Enhance your natural shape.
Round	Circular shape, with the white of the eye visible above or below the iris.	Elongate the eye, create a more almond shape.
Hooded	A fold of skin covers the upper eyelid, sometimes obscuring the crease.	Create definition that’s visible when your eyes are open. Focus on lifting and opening the eye.
Monolid	No visible crease on the eyelid.	Create the illusion of depth and dimension. Experiment with thicker lines and graphic shapes.
Upturned	The outer corners of the eyes are higher than the inner corners.	Balance the upward angle. Avoid overly dramatic wings that emphasize the upturn.
Downturned	The outer corners of the eyes are lower than the inner corners.	Lift the outer corners and create a more balanced appearance. Focus on winged liner that flicks upwards.
Close-Set	The distance between your eyes is less than one eye’s width.	Create the illusion of more space between your eyes. Focus on eyeliner on the outer half of the eye.
Wide-Set	The distance between your eyes is greater than one eye’s width.	Bring your eyes closer together. Extend eyeliner further towards the inner corner.

2. The Tools of the Trade: Beyond the Pencil Itself

While our ZenaMakeup Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pencil is the star of the show, a few supporting players can make your eyeliner journey smoother:

• Makeup Mirror: A magnifying mirror is your best friend for detail work.
• Cotton Swabs: For correcting mistakes (we all make them!) Dip them in makeup remover for a clean swipe.
• Makeup Remover: Crucial for cleaning up errors and taking off your makeup at the end of the day. Micellar water or a gentle cleanser works well.
• Eyelid Primer: Helps your eyeliner stay put and prevents smudging, especially for oily eyelids.
• Angled Brush: Can be used to smudge eyeliner for a softer look, or to apply eyeshadow along the lash line for extra definition.
• Clear Tape (Optional): For creating sharp, precise wings. Place a piece of tape from the outer corner of your eye to the end of your eyebrow.

3. Eyeliner Techniques for Different Eye Shapes

(Drumroll please! 🥁)

This is where the magic happens! Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of eyeliner application for each eye shape.

a) Almond Eyes: The Lucky Ones!

Almond-shaped eyes are the most versatile and can pull off almost any eyeliner style. You lucky ducks! 🦆

• Classic Winged Liner: A timeless look that enhances your natural shape. Start with a thin line in the inner corner and gradually thicken it as you move outwards, creating a subtle wing at the end.
• Tightlining: Apply eyeliner to the upper waterline to make your lashes look thicker and your eyes more defined.
• Smudged Liner: A softer, more romantic look. Apply eyeliner along the lash line and then smudge it with an angled brush or your finger.
• Double Winged Liner: If you’re feeling adventurous, try a double-winged liner look for extra drama.

(Example: Almond Eyes & Classic Winged Liner)

1. Start with a thin line from the inner corner, getting as close to the lash line as possible.
2. Gradually thicken the line as you move towards the outer corner.
3. Extend the line slightly beyond the outer corner, flicking it upwards to create a wing.
4. Connect the wing to the rest of the line, filling in any gaps.
5. Clean up any mistakes with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.

(Emoji Break! 😉)

b) Round Eyes: Making Them Sleek

The goal for round eyes is to create the illusion of length and a more almond shape.

• Elongated Winged Liner: Focus on extending the wing outwards rather than upwards. This will visually lengthen your eyes.
• Avoid Thick Liner on the Entire Eye: This can make your eyes look even rounder. Keep the liner thin in the inner corner and gradually thicken it towards the outer corner.
• Tightlining the Upper Waterline: This will add definition without making your eyes look smaller.
• Consider a Smokey Eye: A smokey eye can also help to elongate the eyes.

(Example: Round Eyes & Elongated Winged Liner)

1. Start with a thin line in the inner corner.
2. Gradually thicken the line as you move outwards.
3. Extend the line beyond the outer corner, creating a wing that points outwards rather than upwards.
4. Make the wing slightly longer than you normally would.
5. Add a touch of eyeshadow to the outer corner to further elongate the eye.

(Emoji Break! 👀)

c) Hooded Eyes: Lifting the Lid

Hooded eyes can be tricky because the eyelid crease is often hidden. The key is to create definition that’s visible when your eyes are open.

• Floating Liner: Apply eyeliner above your natural crease. This will create a faux crease that’s visible when your eyes are open.
• Thin Liner Close to the Lash Line: Avoid thick liner that will get lost in the hood.
• Focus on the Outer Corner: Concentrate the eyeliner on the outer corner of the eye, creating a wing that lifts the eye upwards.
• Tightlining is Essential: This will add definition without taking up too much space on the lid.
• Look Straight Ahead: When applying eyeliner, look straight ahead into the mirror. This will help you to see how the eyeliner will look when your eyes are open.

(Example: Hooded Eyes & Floating Liner)

1. Look straight ahead into the mirror.
2. Identify where your natural crease is.
3. Using our ZenaMakeup Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pencil, draw a line above your natural crease, starting from the outer corner of your eye.
4. Connect the line to your lash line, creating a wing that lifts the eye upwards.
5. Keep the line thin and precise.
6. Tightline the upper waterline to add extra definition.

d) Monolid Eyes: Creating Definition

d) Monolid Eyes: Creating Definition

Monolid eyes lack a visible crease, so the goal is to create the illusion of depth and dimension.

• Thick Liner: Don’t be afraid to go bold! A thicker line will be more visible on a monolid.
• Graphic Liner: Experiment with graphic shapes and bold designs.
• Smokey Liner: A smudged, smokey liner can add depth and dimension.
• Focus on Lash Definition: Use mascara to make your lashes look fuller and longer.
• Consider Eyeshadow: Eyeshadow can also help to create depth and dimension on a monolid.

(Example: Monolid Eyes & Thick Liner)

1. Start with a thin line in the inner corner.
2. Gradually thicken the line as you move outwards.
3. Make the line significantly thicker than you would for other eye shapes.
4. Extend the line beyond the outer corner, creating a wing.
5. Consider adding a second layer of eyeliner to make the line even bolder.

e) Upturned Eyes: Balancing the Angle

Upturned eyes naturally have a lifted appearance, so the goal is to balance the upward angle.

• Softer, More Subtle Liner: Avoid overly dramatic wings that emphasize the upturn.
• Focus on the Outer Corner: Concentrate the eyeliner on the outer corner of the eye, creating a subtle wing that blends seamlessly with the lash line.
• Consider Lining the Lower Lash Line: This will help to balance the upturned shape.
• Avoid Overly Upward Flicks: Keep the wing relatively straight or slightly angled downwards.

(Example: Upturned Eyes & Subtle Winged Liner)

1. Start with a thin line in the inner corner.
2. Gradually thicken the line as you move outwards.
3. Extend the line slightly beyond the outer corner, creating a subtle wing that blends seamlessly with the lash line.
4. Line the lower lash line with a brown or grey eyeliner to balance the upturned shape.

(Emoji Break! 😌)

f) Downturned Eyes: The Winged Wonder

Downturned eyes have a naturally drooping appearance, so the goal is to lift the outer corners and create a more balanced appearance.

• Dramatic Winged Liner: A winged liner that flicks upwards is your best friend! This will visually lift the outer corners of your eyes.
• Focus on the Angle of the Wing: Make sure the wing is angled upwards at a sharp angle.
• Avoid Lining the Entire Lower Lash Line: This can make your eyes look even more downturned.
• Use Eyeshadow to Lift the Outer Corner: Apply a light eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eye and blend it upwards towards the brow bone.

(Example: Downturned Eyes & Dramatic Winged Liner)

1. Start with a thin line in the inner corner.
2. Gradually thicken the line as you move outwards.
3. Extend the line beyond the outer corner, creating a wing that flicks upwards at a sharp angle.
4. Make the wing longer and more dramatic than you normally would.
5. Use eyeshadow to lift the outer corner of the eye and blend it upwards towards the brow bone.

(Emoji Break! 😍)

g) Close-Set Eyes: Creating Space

Close-set eyes have less space between them, so the goal is to create the illusion of more space.

• Focus on the Outer Half of the Eye: Avoid applying eyeliner to the inner corner of the eye.
• Gradually Thicken the Line Towards the Outer Corner: This will draw attention outwards and create the illusion of more space.
• Use Light Colors in the Inner Corner: Apply a light eyeshadow or highlighter to the inner corner of the eye to brighten the area and create more space.
• Extend the Wing Outwards: This will further elongate the eye and create more space.

(Example: Close-Set Eyes & Outer Corner Liner)

1. Start applying eyeliner at the middle of your upper lash line.
2. Gradually thicken the line as you move towards the outer corner.
3. Extend the line beyond the outer corner, creating a wing that points outwards.
4. Apply a light eyeshadow or highlighter to the inner corner of the eye.

(Emoji Break! ✨)

h) Wide-Set Eyes: Bringing Them Together

Wide-set eyes have more space between them, so the goal is to bring them closer together.

• Extend Eyeliner Further Towards the Inner Corner: This will visually bring your eyes closer together.
• Line the Entire Upper Lash Line: This will create a more balanced appearance.
• Consider Lining the Lower Lash Line: This will further bring your eyes closer together.
• Use Darker Colors in the Inner Corner: Apply a dark eyeshadow or eyeliner to the inner corner of the eye to create the illusion of more depth.

(Example: Wide-Set Eyes & Extended Inner Corner Liner)

1. Start applying eyeliner at the inner corner of your upper lash line.
2. Extend the line further towards the inner corner than you normally would.
3. Line the entire upper lash line.
4. Consider lining the lower lash line with a dark eyeliner to further bring your eyes closer together.

4. Troubleshooting: Common Eyeliner Problems and Solutions

• Uneven Lines: Don’t panic! Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up any mistakes and even out the lines.
• Smudging: Apply an eyelid primer before applying eyeliner to prevent smudging. Set your eyeliner with a translucent powder.
• Wobbly Lines: Rest your elbow on a stable surface to steady your hand. Use short, controlled strokes instead of trying to draw one long line.
• Wing Not Matching: Use a cotton swab to adjust the angle and length of the wing until they match. Remember, they don’t have to be perfect twins, just good friends!
• Eyeliner Transferring to Upper Lid: Make sure your eyelids are clean and dry before applying eyeliner. Use a smudge-proof formula like our ZenaMakeup Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pencil!

5. Eyeliner Looks: From Natural to Dramatic

• Natural Look: Tightlining the upper waterline or a thin line along the lash line.
• Classic Winged Liner: A timeless look that’s perfect for any occasion.
• Smokey Liner: A softer, more romantic look that’s great for evening events.
• Cat Eye: A bold and dramatic look that’s sure to turn heads.
• Graphic Liner: Experiment with bold shapes and designs for a unique and edgy look.

6. Practice Makes Perfect: Eyeliner Exercises

• Practice on Your Hand: Before applying eyeliner to your eyes, practice drawing different lines and shapes on the back of your hand.
• Use Dots as a Guide: Place small dots along your lash line and then connect them with your eyeliner pencil.
• Start with a Pencil Eyeliner: If you’re new to liquid eyeliner, start with a pencil eyeliner and then gradually transition to liquid.
• Don’t Give Up! Eyeliner takes practice and patience. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right away. Keep practicing, and you’ll eventually master it!

7. Removal Tips: Gentle But Effective

• Use a Gentle Makeup Remover: Avoid harsh makeup removers that can irritate your eyes. Micellar water or a gentle cleanser works well.
• Soak a Cotton Pad: Soak a cotton pad with makeup remover and hold it over your closed eye for a few seconds to dissolve the eyeliner.
• Gently Wipe Away the Eyeliner: Avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can cause irritation.
• Follow Up with a Moisturizer: After removing your makeup, apply a moisturizer to your eyelids to keep them hydrated.
