Applying Eyeliner to Your Waterline like An Expert

Since eye makeup is very sensitive, applying eyeliner needs some prowess. One needs to be a pro, especially when dealing with the eye region called the waterline; the thin and wet strip of flesh where the edge of your eyelid hangs out with your eyeball. Applying eyeliner to the waterline enhances the smoky eye look. Additionally, it makes the eyes look bigger. Furthermore, eye lining makes the lashes look thicker. Therefore, below, we have discussed how you can apply the eyeliner to your waterline like a pro.
