1. Prep is Key: The Foundation for Lasting Eyeliner 🧱
Think of your eyelid as a canvas. You wouldn’t paint on a dirty, oily canvas, would you? The same principle applies to eyeliner. Proper preparation is crucial for creating a smooth, long-lasting base.
- Cleanse Your Eyelids: Start with a clean slate! Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil from your eyelids. This ensures the eyeliner has a clean surface to adhere to.
- Tone (Optional): A toner can help balance the pH of your skin and remove any remaining residue.
- Moisturize (Lightly): Hydrated skin is happy skin! However, avoid heavy, oily moisturizers on your eyelids, as they can cause your eyeliner to slip and slide. Opt for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer or eye cream. Allow it to fully absorb before moving on to the next step.
-
Prime Time! This is the MVP of eyeliner prep! Eye primer creates a smooth, even surface for your eyeliner, absorbs excess oil, and helps prevent creasing. Apply a thin layer of eye primer all over your eyelid, from lash line to brow bone. Let it set for a minute or two before applying your eyeliner.
Pro Tip: Use a dedicated eye primer, not just any face primer. Eye primers are specifically formulated for the delicate skin around your eyes and are designed to hold onto eye makeup for longer.
2. Application Techniques: Mastering the Art of the Line 🖌️
Now, for the fun part! Applying your ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil with precision and technique is key to achieving a long-lasting look.
-
Sharpen, Sharpen, Sharpen! A sharp pencil is your best friend! It allows you to create a precise, clean line. Use the built-in sharpener on your ZenaMakeup Eyeliner Pencil to keep it in tip-top shape.
-
Tightlining (The Invisible Armor): This technique involves applying eyeliner to the upper waterline, between your eyelashes. It creates a subtle, yet impactful, definition that makes your lashes look thicker and prevents gaps between your lashes and eyeliner.
- How to Tightline: Gently lift your upper eyelid and apply the eyeliner to the waterline, using small, short strokes. Be careful not to poke yourself in the eye!
- Why it Works: Tightlining creates a base layer of eyeliner that helps to anchor the rest of your eyeliner and prevent it from migrating.
-
Gradual Build-Up: Instead of trying to draw a perfect line in one go, start with a thin, light line and gradually build up the thickness and intensity. This allows you to control the shape and avoid mistakes.
-
Short, Controlled Strokes: Use short, controlled strokes to apply the eyeliner. This prevents skipping and creates a smoother, more even line.
-
Connect the Dots: If you’re struggling to draw a straight line, try connecting small dots or dashes along your lash line. Then, connect the dots to create a continuous line.

Winged Liner Woes? Practice makes perfect! Use tape as a guide or try using a business card to create a sharp, clean wing. There are plenty of tutorials online to help you master the winged liner look. YouTube is your bestie!
Pro Tip: For a softer, more blended look, use a small, angled brush to smudge the eyeliner immediately after application.
3. Setting Strategies: Locking in the Look 🔒
Now that you’ve applied your eyeliner, it’s time to lock it in place! These setting strategies will help prevent smudging, fading, and creasing.
-
Eyeshadow Seal: This is a game-changer! Apply a similar shade of eyeshadow over your eyeliner using a small, angled brush. This creates a barrier that helps to set the eyeliner and prevent it from moving.
- How to Do It: Dip your angled brush into the eyeshadow, tap off the excess, and gently press it onto your eyeliner.
- Why it Works: The eyeshadow acts as a sealant, absorbing any excess oil and preventing the eyeliner from smudging.
-
Translucent Powder Power: Lightly dust a translucent powder over your eyelids to absorb any excess oil and set the eyeliner. Use a fluffy brush to avoid disturbing the eyeliner.
-
Setting Spray Savior: A setting spray can help to lock in your entire makeup look, including your eyeliner. Choose a setting spray that is designed for long-lasting wear and is suitable for your skin type.
- How to Use It: Hold the setting spray about 8-10 inches away from your face and spray in a "T" and "X" motion.
- Why it Works: Setting sprays create a protective barrier that helps to prevent makeup from smudging, fading, and transferring.
4. Lifestyle Considerations: Adjusting for Your Day-to-Day 🏃♀️
Your lifestyle can significantly impact the longevity of your eyeliner. Consider these factors and adjust your application and setting strategies accordingly.
- Oily Skin: If you have oily skin, you’ll need to be extra diligent about prepping and setting your eyeliner. Use an oil-free primer and setting powder, and blot your eyelids throughout the day to absorb excess oil.
- Humid Weather: Humidity can wreak havoc on your makeup! Choose a waterproof and smudge-proof eyeliner like the ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil, and use a setting spray to help keep your makeup in place.
- Exercise: If you’re planning on hitting the gym, opt for a minimal makeup look or choose a sweat-proof eyeliner. Avoid wearing heavy makeup during exercise, as it can clog your pores and lead to breakouts.
- Allergies/Sensitive Eyes: If you have allergies or sensitive eyes, choose a hypoallergenic and fragrance-free eyeliner. Avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can irritate them and cause your eyeliner to smudge.
5. Troubleshooting: Addressing Common Eyeliner Challenges 🛠️
Even with the best preparation and application, eyeliner mishaps can happen. Here’s how to fix some common eyeliner challenges.
- Smudging: If your eyeliner smudges throughout the day, gently blot the area with a cotton swab or tissue. Then, reapply a small amount of eyeshadow or translucent powder to set the eyeliner.
- Fading: If your eyeliner fades, reapply a thin layer of eyeliner and set it with eyeshadow or translucent powder.
- Uneven Lines: If your eyeliner lines are uneven, use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up the edges and create a more symmetrical look.
- Transfer to Upper Lid: This usually happens when you have oily eyelids or apply too much eyeliner. Make sure to prime your eyelids properly and use a thin layer of eyeliner. You can also try using a setting powder to absorb excess oil.
6. Removal Ritual: Taking it Off the Right Way 🧼
Just as important as applying your eyeliner is removing it properly. Harsh rubbing can irritate your delicate eye area and lead to premature aging.
- Oil-Based Makeup Remover: Oil-based makeup removers are the most effective way to remove waterproof eyeliner. They gently dissolve the makeup without requiring harsh rubbing.
- Micellar Water: Micellar water is another gentle and effective option for removing eyeliner. Soak a cotton pad with micellar water and gently press it onto your eyelid for a few seconds to dissolve the makeup. Then, gently wipe away the eyeliner.
- Double Cleansing: For a thorough cleanse, consider double cleansing. Start with an oil-based makeup remover to dissolve the eyeliner, then follow with a gentle cleanser to remove any remaining residue.
- Be Gentle! Avoid rubbing your eyes harshly. Use gentle, circular motions to remove the eyeliner.
- Moisturize After Removal: After removing your eyeliner, apply a hydrating eye cream to replenish moisture and soothe your skin.
7. Bonus Round: Advanced Eyeliner Hacks & Tricks 🧙♀️
Ready to take your eyeliner game to the next level? Here are some advanced hacks and tricks to try:

- Smoked Out Liner: Create a smoky eye effect by smudging your eyeliner with a small, angled brush. Then, apply a similar shade of eyeshadow to blend the eyeliner and create a seamless transition.
