- Portability: Toss it in your bag, sharpen it on the go – pencils are the ultimate travel companions. ✈️
And why waterproof? Because life happens! You might get caught in the rain, have an emotional movie marathon, or just be blessed with particularly oily eyelids. Waterproof eyeliner ensures your look stays flawless, no matter what. No raccoon eyes allowed! 🦝🚫

Lecture 1: The Basics – Lining Your Upper Lash Line
Okay, let’s get down to business! Lining your upper lash line is the foundation of many eye looks. Here’s how to do it like a pro:
- Prep Your Lids: Start with a clean, dry eyelid. Apply an eyeshadow primer to help your eyeliner stay in place even longer (especially if you have oily lids). Think of it as laying the groundwork for your masterpiece. 🎨
- Sharpen Your Pencil: A sharp pencil is key for a precise line. Make sure you have a good quality sharpener that won’t break your pencil. ✏️ (Pro-tip: Sharpen your pencil before you start your makeup routine. That way, if the tip breaks, you won’t mess up your already-applied eyeshadow.)
-
Find Your Technique: There are two main approaches:
- Dotted Line: Create small dots along your lash line, then connect them. This is great for beginners because it’s easier to control. Think of it as "connect the dots" for grown-ups.
- One Smooth Stroke: If you’re feeling confident, try drawing one continuous line from the inner corner to the outer corner of your eye. Use short, controlled strokes for best results.
- Get Close to the Lash Line: The key to a natural-looking line is to get as close to your lashes as possible. You want to fill in any gaps between your lashes. Imagine you’re trying to camouflage the space between your lashes.
- Thickness is Optional: Start with a thin line and gradually build up the thickness as desired. Remember, you can always add more, but it’s harder to take away.
- Mirror, Mirror: Use a mirror placed slightly below your eye level. This will help you see your lash line more clearly.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right the first time. Eyeliner takes practice! Keep practicing, and you’ll be a pro in no time. 💪
Lecture 2: Lining Your Lower Lash Line – Drama or Definition?
The lower lash line can be tricky. Too much, and you risk looking like you haven’t slept in days. Too little, and you might miss an opportunity to add some serious drama.
- Keep it Light: For a subtle, everyday look, use a light hand and apply a thin line to your lower lash line. You can even smudge it out for a softer effect. Think of it as adding a whisper of color.
- Inner Corner Caution: Avoid lining the entire lower lash line, especially the inner corner. This can make your eyes look smaller and closer together. Start about a third of the way in from the outer corner.
- The Smudge is Your Friend: Use a small brush or your finger to smudge the liner immediately after applying it. This will create a softer, more natural look.
- Color Considerations: Brown or gray eyeliner is a great option for the lower lash line, especially if you have fair skin. Black can be a bit too harsh for some.
- Waterline Woes: Lining the waterline (the inner rim of your lower eyelid) can make your eyes look smaller and more intense. Use with caution! If you do line your waterline, make sure your eyeliner is specifically formulated for waterline use and is ophthalmologist-tested. Our PowerStay Liner is safe for waterline use.
- Brighten Up: A nude or white eyeliner on the waterline can make your eyes look bigger and brighter. This is a great trick for looking more awake. ☀️

Lecture 3: Mastering the Winged Eyeliner – The Cat-Eye Conundrum
Ah, the winged eyeliner! The holy grail of eye looks. It can be intimidating, but with practice and the right technique, you can achieve the perfect wing.
- Start with the Angle: The angle of your wing should follow the natural upward curve of your lower lash line. Imagine extending your lower lash line upwards.
- The Outer Corner Guide: Use the outer corner of your eye as a guide for the length of your wing. Don’t go too far out, or you’ll risk looking like a cartoon character.
- The Flick: Create a small flick at the outer corner of your eye, extending it upwards and outwards.
- Connect the Line: Connect the flick to your upper lash line, creating a triangle shape.
- Fill it In: Fill in the triangle with eyeliner.
- Clean Up: Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up any mistakes and create a sharp, clean line.
- The Tape Trick (Optional): If you’re struggling to get a straight line, use a piece of tape as a guide. Apply the tape at the desired angle and apply your eyeliner along the edge of the tape. Peel off the tape when you’re finished.
- Practice Makes Perfect (Again!): Winged eyeliner is all about practice. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you. And remember, even the pros make mistakes! 😅
Lecture 4: The Smoky Eye – Effortless and Alluring
The smoky eye is a classic look that can be adapted for any occasion. It’s all about blending and smudging to create a soft, sultry effect.
- Apply Eyeliner to the Upper Lash Line: Apply a thick line of eyeliner to your upper lash line, smudging it out as you go.
- Apply Eyeliner to the Lower Lash Line: Apply a thin line of eyeliner to your lower lash line, smudging it out as well.
- Smudge, Smudge, Smudge: Use a small brush or your finger to smudge the eyeliner, blending it into your eyeshadow. The key is to create a seamless transition between the eyeliner and the eyeshadow.
- Add Eyeshadow: Apply a dark eyeshadow to your eyelids, blending it into the eyeliner.
- Highlight: Apply a light eyeshadow to your brow bone and inner corner of your eye to highlight.
- Layer and Blend: Continue to layer and blend the eyeliner and eyeshadow until you achieve the desired smoky effect.
- Don’t Be Afraid to Get Messy: The smoky eye is supposed to look effortless and a little bit messy. Don’t worry about being perfect.
- Color Play: Experiment with different colors of eyeshadow to create different smoky eye looks.

- Dark Skin: Rich, vibrant colors like gold, bronze, or cobalt blue can be incredibly striking.
Lecture 6: Troubleshooting and Tips for Success
Even with the best products and techniques, you might still run into some eyeliner challenges. Here are some common problems and how to fix them:
- Smudging: Use a waterproof eyeliner and apply an eyeshadow primer. Set your eyeliner with a translucent powder. Avoid touching your eyes throughout the day.
- Uneven Lines: Practice makes perfect! Use short, controlled strokes and clean up any mistakes with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. The dotted line technique can also help.
- Wobbly Lines: Rest your elbow on a stable surface while applying your eyeliner. This will help you keep your hand steady.
- Broken Pencil Tip: Sharpen your pencil carefully and don’t apply too much pressure. If the tip keeps breaking, try putting your pencil in the freezer for a few minutes before sharpening it.
- Eyeliner Transferring to Upper Lid: This is often caused by oily eyelids. Use an eyeshadow primer and set your eyeliner with a translucent powder. Consider using a waterproof eyeliner.
- Itchy Eyes: If your eyes are itchy after applying eyeliner, you may be allergic to one of the ingredients. Discontinue use and try a different eyeliner. Always check the ingredient list if you have known allergies.
