Struggling with shaky hands and smudged lines? You’re not alone. Achieving the perfect eyeliner look can feel like a makeup artist’s secret, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re going for a subtle wing or a bold graphic look, this step-by-step guide will break down 5 foolproof eyeliner techniques for beginners. Plus, we’ll share the best tools for the job!

1. The Classic Wing 

•  How to: Start by drawing a thin line along your upper lash line. Imagine an extension of your lower waterline and gently flick upwards towards the end of your eyebrow. Connect the tip back to your lash line and fill in the gap.

• Pro Tip : Use a felt-tip liquid liner like the Sweeoty Precision Liner for maximum control and a sharp, clean point.

2. The Tightline 

•  How to: Gently lift your eyelid and use a soft, waterproof pencil to dot between your lashes on the upper waterline. This subtly defines your eyes without a harsh line.

• Pro Tip : This technique is best for sensitive eyes. Look for a smudge-proof and waterproof formula to avoid irritation.

3. The Natural "No-Makeup" Line

1. How to :Using a soft brown pencil or a very dark eyeshadow, press tiny dots in between your eyelashes at the root. Then, gently connect the dots. Avoid drawing a solid, continuous line. The goal is to create a shadow effect.

2. Pro Tip :Brown is your best friend for a natural look. It's much softer and less harsh than black. For the most undetectable application, use an angled brush and a matte dark brown eyeshadow. The Sweeoty Angled Liner Brush is perfect for this technique, offering precision without the sharpness of a liquid liner.

4. The Puppy Dog Liner 

1.How to :Instead of flicking upwards for a wing, continue your lower lash line straight out or slightly downwards. Then, from the middle of your upper lash line, draw a line connecting to the end of the lower line you just created. Fill in the small triangle.

2.Pro Tip :This style works best with a gel or pencil liner for a softer, more blended finish. A sharp liquid liner can look too harsh. Keep the line thin and close to the lash line for the most flattering effect.

5. The Subtle Smudge 

• 1.How to:Take a kohl or pencil liner and draw a somewhat thick line along your upper lash line. Then, immediately use a small brush or your fingertip to smudge and blur the line upwards and outwards. There are no rules here—the messier, the better!

• 2.Pro Tip :
  The key to a good smudge is working quickly before the liner sets. For a long-lasting smudge that won't turn into a muddy mess, use a highly blendable yet waterproof formula like the Sweeoty Super Blendable Kohl Liner.

From the invisible tightline to the sultry smudge, there's an eyeliner style for every eye shape and occasion. Remember, the best tool is one that gives you confidence. Explore our complete liner collection to find your perfect match—from precise liquids to blendable pencils.
