Seen on TikTok: 4 tricks to make yourself a perfect eyeliner

There are people who have an innate talent when it comes to putting on makeup. They make their skin look like porcelain, their lip contouring looks impeccable, and their eyeliner looks like it was done by a professional. But the most common thing is that the moment of standing in front of the mirror to apply your eyeliner becomes a challenge.

There are other aspects of makeup that are not so complicated, such as putting a flattering blush on your cheekbones or lengthening your eyelashes by applying your trusty mascara. But with eyeliner... the story is very different. Not in vain, the eye area is especially delicate, full of folds that make it difficult for us to draw a perfect line. We must also add the apprehension of many people about getting product in their eyes.

A pulse that is not suitable for stealing tambourines or difficulties in finding a symmetrical result are other added complexities when it comes to achieving good eyeliner. And it's a bummer, because few makeup styles are as flattering and never go out of style as eyeliner. Whether in black edging the eyelashes to give them depth, in striking colors or the always sophisticated cat eye.

But there is no reason to lose hope and give up eyeliner in your makeup routine. Because social networks are full of tricks that are as curious and simple as they are effective, which promise an ideal result. Specifically, we leave you below four procedures that continue to accumulate 'likes' on TikTok, so you can try the one that suits you best.

This trick solves two problems in one fell swoop. On the one hand, it will help you to ensure that your eyeliner is straight and symmetrical on both eyes and, on the other hand, you will ensure that the shadows you apply do not stain beyond the eyelid. As easy as putting a small piece of tape on the junction between the outer corner of the eye and the eyebrow, applying the products and then carefully removing the tape.

Does the shape of the eyeliner resist you? Well, use a hairpin as a template. Put it on your eye and apply the pencil or gel you use for eyeliner right in the gap of the hairpin, following its shape. Then, use the ends of the bobby pin to fill the tear duct.

If what you want is an enigmatic-looking smoky eye, perfect for evening looks, then you are going to love this trick. Paint your lash lines with eye pencil and don't worry about it being perfect, because the next step is to smudge it lightly with your fingers, thus obtaining the most impeccable blend.

Draw a dot or small blob of eyeliner on the tip of your finger. Then, press it on the corner of your eye to transfer the product. Finally, swipe very carefully towards the end of your eyebrow.
