How to Use Eyeliner Gel Perfect Step 1: Wash, dry, and moisturize your face. Use a gentle cleanser and your favorite moisturizer. You want to ensure your skin is free of dirt and oil so that you have a fresh canvas to work with. Don't use an overly oily moisturizer, or the eyeliner will have trouble adhering to your skin. Step 2: "Apply concealer or primer. This is an optional step, but the base layer will give the gel eyeliner something more to stick to, will help it last longer, and will make it more apparent. Dab either concealer or translucent powder on your upper lids and around your eyes. Blend it in with a sponge or your fingertips." Step 3: Position your head. Tilt your head to point your chin up and out, so that you can see your entire eyelid more easily. Hold the eyeliner stick at an angle. Don't point the eye liner pencil perpendicular to your eye so you can't see what you're doing. Instead, hold the pen at an angle so you can see the tip touching your eye and can follow as you work. Step 4: Gently pull the skin around your eye taut. Using your other hand, place a finger on your face between your temple and the eye you're going to apply eyeliner to. Very gently pull the skin taut toward your temple. This will help you apply the eyeliner in a straight line Step 5: "Apply a basic line. Close the eye you are going to apply eyeliner to, but not so tightly that you're squinting. On your top lid, start at the inside near your tear duct. Use the tip of the eyeliner gel pen to gently and smoothly follow the lash line and trace the natural curve of your eye with the eyeliner. Try to do this in one stroke, keeping the eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible. If you find it difficult to trace the lash line smoothly, mark points along the way first with the eyeliner, and then connect the dots with a single stroke of the gel eyeliner pen."
