Module 1: Eyeliner 101 – The Basics You Need to Know
Okay, class, let’s start with the fundamentals. Think of this as Eyeliner Anatomy 101. We need to understand our tool before we can wield it effectively.
1.1 The Anatomy of an Eyeliner Pencil:
Component | Description | Why It Matters |
---|---|---|
The Core | This is the actual pigmented part of the pencil. It’s made of waxes, oils, pigments, and sometimes polymers. The quality of the core determines the color payoff, blendability, and longevity of the eyeliner. Our ZenaMakeup core is formulated for intense color and smooth application! ✨ | The richer the pigment, the bolder the line. The smoother the application, the easier it is to achieve a flawless look. A long-lasting formula means your hard work won’t smudge away by lunchtime. 😭 |
The Casing | The outer shell that holds the core. It can be made of wood, plastic, or metal. Wooden pencils require sharpening, while retractable pencils twist up. The casing protects the core from damage and helps you hold the pencil comfortably. Our ZenaMakeup pencils are designed for comfortable grip and easy sharpening (if applicable). 🤝 | A sturdy casing prevents breakage and ensures a comfortable grip for precise application. A well-designed mechanism (for retractable pencils) prevents the core from snapping. |
The Cap | Protects the core from drying out or breaking. Always put the cap back on after use! 🚫 This is a MUST. Leaving it off is like leaving your ice cream out in the sun – a sad, melted mess. | Prevents the eyeliner from drying out, extending its lifespan and ensuring consistent application. A broken tip is a makeup artist’s worst nightmare! |
The Sharpener (if applicable) | For wooden pencils, a sharpener is your best friend. A dull pencil = a thick, uneven line. Keep that sharpener handy! 🔪 Our ZenaMakeup sharpeners are designed to create the perfect point without breaking the core. | A sharp point allows for precise lines and intricate detailing. A good sharpener minimizes product waste and prevents breakage. |
1.2 Different Types of Eyeliner (and why we love pencils!):
- Liquid Eyeliner: Creates a very precise, dramatic line. Can be tricky to master, but the results are stunning. Think of it as the advanced calculus of eyeliner. Requires a steady hand and a whole lot of patience. 🧘♀️
- Gel Eyeliner: Comes in a pot and is applied with a brush. Offers great control and pigmentation. Think of it as oil painting. Needs practice. 🎨
- Pencil Eyeliner: Our star of the show! Easy to use, versatile, and perfect for beginners. Can be smudged for a softer look or layered for a more dramatic effect. Think of it as finger painting. It’s fun and easy! 🎉
Why we’re obsessed with pencil eyeliner (specifically, our ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil):
- Beginner-Friendly: The easiest type of eyeliner to learn with.
- Versatile: Can create a variety of looks, from subtle to dramatic.
- Travel-Friendly: No need for brushes or pots – just grab and go!
- Smudge-able: Perfect for creating a smoky eye.
- Waterproof (ours, at least!): Stays put through sweat, tears, and rain. ☔️ (Because life happens, right?)
Module 2: Mastering the Techniques – From Tightlining to Wings!
Now that we know our tools, let’s learn how to use them! Get ready to practice, because even the best eyeliner pencil can’t work miracles on its own. (Although, ours comes pretty darn close!) 😉
2.1 Tightlining (Invisible Eyeliner):
- What it is: Applying eyeliner to the upper waterline (the inner rim of your eyelid).
- Why it’s awesome: Makes your lashes look fuller and your eyes look more defined without any visible eyeliner. It’s like a secret weapon for enhancing your natural beauty. 🤫
- How to do it: Gently lift your upper eyelid and carefully apply the eyeliner to the waterline. Use short, even strokes. This can be a little ticklish at first, but you’ll get used to it! (And trust me, the results are worth it.)
- Pro Tip: Use a ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in a dark brown or black for a subtle, natural look.
2.2 Basic Eyeliner Line (The Foundation):
- What it is: Applying eyeliner along your upper lash line.
- Why it’s awesome: Defines your eyes and makes them look bigger and brighter. It’s the perfect everyday eyeliner look. ☀️
- How to do it: Start at the inner corner of your eye and draw a thin line along your lash line, staying as close to your lashes as possible. Gradually thicken the line as you move towards the outer corner of your eye. You can use short, overlapping strokes or one continuous line.
- Pro Tip: Use a ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in your favorite color! Experiment with different shades to find what looks best on you.
2.3 Winged Eyeliner (The Classic):
- What it is: Extending the eyeliner line beyond the outer corner of your eye to create a "wing."
- Why it’s awesome: Adds drama and flair to your look. It’s the ultimate statement eyeliner. 🔥
- How to do it: This is where things get a little tricky, but don’t worry, we’ll break it down.
- Start with your basic eyeliner line.
- Extend the line upwards and outwards at a 45-degree angle. The length of the wing is up to you – go as subtle or as dramatic as you like!
- Connect the end of the wing back to your lash line. This creates the "triangle" shape of the wing.
- Fill in the triangle.
- Pro Tips:
- Use a ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in black for a classic winged look.
- Use a piece of tape or a business card as a guide to create a sharp, even wing.
- Practice, practice, practice! Winged eyeliner takes time to master.
2.4 Smudged Eyeliner (The Effortlessly Cool):
- What it is: Extending the eyeliner line beyond the outer corner of your eye to create a "wing."
- Why it’s awesome: Adds drama and flair to your look. It’s the ultimate statement eyeliner. 🔥
- How to do it: This is where things get a little tricky, but don’t worry, we’ll break it down.
- Start with your basic eyeliner line.
- Extend the line upwards and outwards at a 45-degree angle. The length of the wing is up to you – go as subtle or as dramatic as you like!

- Pro Tips:
- Use a ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in black for a classic winged look.
- Use a piece of tape or a business card as a guide to create a sharp, even wing.
- Practice, practice, practice! Winged eyeliner takes time to master.
2.4 Smudged Eyeliner (The Effortlessly Cool):
- What it is: Applying eyeliner and then smudging it out for a softer, more lived-in look.
- Why it’s awesome: Perfect for creating a smoky eye or adding a touch of grunge to your look. It’s the "I woke up like this" of eyeliner styles. 😎
- How to do it:
- Apply eyeliner along your upper and/or lower lash line.
- Use a cotton swab or your finger to gently smudge the eyeliner.
- Blend the edges of the smudged eyeliner with an eyeshadow brush.
- Pro Tip: Use a ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in a dark brown or gray for a subtle, smudged look.
Module 3: Eye Shape and Eyeliner Style – Finding Your Perfect Match
Not all eyeliner styles are created equal. What looks amazing on one person might not look so great on another. That’s why it’s important to choose an eyeliner style that complements your eye shape.
Eye Shape | Eyeliner Recommendations |
---|---|
Almond Eyes | Lucky you! Almond eyes can rock almost any eyeliner style. Experiment and have fun! Winged eyeliner, tightlining, and smudged eyeliner all look great on almond eyes. Go wild with colors too! 🌈 |
Round Eyes | Elongate your eyes with a winged eyeliner that extends outwards. Avoid lining the entire lower lash line, as this can make your eyes look smaller. Focus on the outer corner of the eye. Try a cat-eye look to add definition. 😼 |
Hooded Eyes | Apply a thicker line of eyeliner to the center of your upper lash line to make your eyes look more open. When creating a wing, make sure it’s visible when your eyes are open. Tightlining can also help to define your eyes without taking up too much lid space. Consider a "bat wing" technique. 🦇 |
Close-Set Eyes | Focus on applying eyeliner to the outer corners of your eyes to create the illusion of wider-set eyes. Avoid lining the inner corners of your eyes. A winged eyeliner that flicks outwards can also help to balance your features. Use lighter shades on the inner corner to brighten them. ✨ |
Wide-Set Eyes | Apply eyeliner to the entire upper and lower lash line to bring your eyes closer together. You can also extend the eyeliner slightly past the inner corners of your eyes. Darker shades will help create the illusion of closer-set eyes. Don’t be afraid to tightline! 🖤 |
Upturned Eyes | Play up your natural upturn with a subtle wing that follows the natural curve of your eye. You can also try tightlining or smudging eyeliner along your lower lash line for a softer look. Have fun with colorful eyeliners! |
Downturned Eyes | Lift your eyes with a winged eyeliner that flicks upwards. Avoid lining the entire lower lash line, as this can accentuate the downturned shape. Focus on the outer corner of the eye. Consider a lifted cat-eye look. |

Module 5: Troubleshooting – Fixing Eyeliner Fails Like a Pro
Let’s face it, even the most experienced makeup artists have eyeliner fails sometimes. It’s part of the process! The key is knowing how to fix those mistakes quickly and easily.
Common Eyeliner Mistakes and How to Fix Them:
Mistake | Solution |
---|---|
Uneven Lines | Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up the edges of the line. You can also use a small angled brush to even out the line. |
Wobbly Lines | Practice makes perfect! Try using short, overlapping strokes instead of one continuous line. You can also use a piece of tape as a guide. |
Smudged Eyeliner | Clean up the smudges with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. You can also use a concealer brush to apply concealer around the edges of the eyeliner to create a sharper look. |
Wing Too Thick | Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to thin out the wing. Start at the tip of the wing and gently remove product until you achieve the desired thickness. |
Wing Too Long | Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to shorten the wing. Start at the tip of the wing and gently remove product until you achieve the desired length. |
Wing Uneven | Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up the edges of both wings. Then, carefully redraw the wings until they are even. |
Eyeliner Transferred to Upper Lid | This usually happens with oily eyelids. Use an eyeshadow primer before applying your eyeliner to help prevent transfer. You can also set your eyeliner with a translucent powder. |
