The Mistake: Choosing the Wrong Eyeliner Even if you've perfected your eyeliner technique, you could be doing yourself a disservice if you're using the wrong tools.
"Liquid liner can look a little harsh, so stick to long-wear eyeliner pencils or gel liners, and keep it close to the lash line to define the eyes." Bass suggests using a matte eyeliner to accentuate the eyes (try Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Eye Pencil, $21, in Matte Black). Just like a shimmery eye shadow, a sparkly eyeliner pencil can draw attention to fine lines.
"To define the bottom lash line, it is essential to use a waterproof eyeliner, as mature eyes are more likely to run, which can enhance dark under eyes," Bass says. Consider using Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner, $12. "Keep the liner or shadow close to the lash line, and blend well." Babaian recommends using L'Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner 24H, $9.95, for easy application and breezy blending.
