How do you put on eyeliner??? IT HURTS!?

Okay, so I TRY to put on eyeliner, but it hurts. Where exactly do you put it, and what brand/type is best?

L'oreal Eyeliner is the best, for sure! If your finding the pencil pressing down on your eye painful then you should try liquid eye liner. Liquid eyeliner is SO MUCH easier to apply and it doesn't hurt at all! As for where you put it on you basically just line your eye with it...the top of your lids and the water lines.
Here's a link to a diagram:

What manufacturer eyeliner is it? The low priced eyeliners have a tendency to be "stale" and do not follow effectively, notably at the waterline. I recommend gel liner. It's creamy eyeliner that you simply use a broom to use it with. Or purchase a greater great eyeliner pencil. The mini pencils from Sephora (approximately $three-five every, I omit) waft on easily at the waterline and final all day. They're no longer stale in any respect. That's what I use!

Eyeliner does not hurt.

You don't put it under your upper lashes or on top of your lower lashes (right next to the eye).

Go to youtube or look up beauty sites online or even books to help you. You can also go to makeup counters and ask them.

I prefer liquid eyeliner over a pencil however I use a pencil if I want to smudge it. Any label will do. I don't spend a lot of money...you don't need to.

And...you don't have to wear it if you don't want to.

Eyeliner shouldn't hurt. Is your eyeliner new? Sometimes, when eyeliner pencils are too sharp, it hurts to apply it. Just dull it out A LITTLE BIT and it should be fine.

It could also be that you're not applying it at the correct areas. Don't apply it too close to your eyeball, it'll hurt. Line your eye at the waterline or a bit lower than it.

if it hurts when you put it on that probably means your trying to put it on the inside line of your eye you want to put it on the bottom under your lashs up to the outside edge of the eye but NOT on the pink line that will hurt and on the top the line right above your eyelashes there are a lot of good brands it just depends on what works best for you I use rimmel london and sometimes just a pencil stick thru wet and wild
