Lining the waterline of your eyes not only makes your eye colour pop but the dark liner creates an excellent contrast against the white of the eyes. But if you were avoiding lining the area because you thought it was not safe beauty expert Nilima Singh Rodrigues from Marvie Ann Beck Academy tells you if it is true.

You can always line the inner rims of your eyes and rock the link. However, you need to keep your hands steady, or you will poke your eyes. Also, if you have a budding eye infection like conjunctivitis, and you don t realise it, the chances are that the bacteria will grow and thrive in the eye pencil. Once you put the cap back on, the bacteria can breed in the eye pencil. Also Read - Ditch harmful chemicals and opt for natural ways to remove makeup

Precautions

The best thing to do is always to use a sharpened eye pencil and then apply the liner. That way your hands will be steady, and you will put it back in the cap in its initial position. If you are aware that you have an eye infection, toss the liner and use a new one to prevent recontamination.

If your waterline application never seems to go smooth, follow these tips:

Since the inner rims of your eyes are very delicate, you would want to use a liquid liner to reduce the drag. Always use a waterproof formula since the area can be prone to smudging.
Glide the liner from the outer part of the eyes towards the inner (the nose). Gently pull your skin down on the bottom eyelid and use back and forth to create a distinct line. Look straight ahead for easy application of your inner lids.
Then use a little lotion to erase smudges or any extra lines around your eyes. Also, follow these tips to choose the right eyeliner for those perfect eyes.
