How do you apply your eyeliner?? Because it's really bad to pull at your eyelids but I can't think of an easier way to do it. Any suggestions?

i generally have a habit of opening my mouth when applying eyeliner.

no idea why, i just subconsciously do it.

Liquid or pencil? And you shouldn't have to pull them hard anyway. Some people find it easier to dot or use short strokes, then join together in the end. This works well if you don't have a steady hand.

I'd be more worried at the chemicals you can get in your eyes as opposed to pulling your eyelids at your age, lol.

you shouldn't really be pulling at your eyelids that much....in terms of applying it on top, you're applying just along the top of your lashline, so just lightly pull at the corners of your eye enough to get a smooth surface, but obviously not so much that it hurts.

for on top, start in the middle of the lashline and use short strokes all the way to the outer corner of your eye. you have to be pretty skilled to do it all in one line.
for your lower lashes you shouldn't be pulling on your eye at all....except maybe down to get a better angle if you're lining really close in

if you're using a pencil make sure you get a good one that slides on easily, there's a lot of shitty ones out there. DB is really good and pretty cheap.

My eyeliner is a lot more natural.

I have sleepless nights!
Nearly every night I have nightmares when I try to sleep.
They won't leave me alone!
I get up after a nightmare at around 2am - 3am in the morning, I can't go back to sleep!

I pull the eyelid across and draw a continuous line, and then get out a cotton bud and some eye makeup remover and fix any shit bits. Drawing it in one line isn't that hard if you steady your arm on the sink/dresser first.

I don't normally wear eyeliner unless I'm actually going for a more dramatic look, its a bit much for everyday wear tbh.

That's just like me!
The top eyelid doesn't seem to line up with my eye. :mad:
The bottom one is always my favourite one to do.

if you close your eye and pull it to the side like when you tease asians and then draw it then :)
