No matter what look you’re going for, at Sephora we’ve got just the right eyeliner to match. Before applying, check out a few quick liner tips that will make your eyes pop:

1. For a smoky eye look, pencil liner is your best bet. Unlike gel and liquid eye liner, pencil liner is easier to smudge creating that perfect smoky look.

2. Never use dark liner on your waterline – it will make your eyes look smaller. Try a white or nude liner in order to open your eyes up.

3. If you’re concerned about eye liner lasting all day (or night), make sure your eyes are oil-free before application. After using an oil-free cleanser, apply long-wear, waterproof eyeliner for a look that will last.

4. Liquid and gel liners are better for precision looks like the cat eye. Pro tip: plant your elbow on a flat surface and make sure your pinky is resting on your cheek for stabilization.
