Why can't I put on eyeliner?

Question

I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Every time I try to put on eyeliner I always twitch, which messes it up and prevents me from doing the rest of the eye. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix my mistake? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

look up when you put on eyeliner.

it'll work trust me.

Answer 2

Maybe you have a fear when things go towards your eyes. I do the same thing. I'm not sure what you can do...Maybe just do it slowly and stay calm. Maybe have someone talking to you to keep your mind off it. I'm not sure....Or don't apply it at all...just use shadow.

Answer 3

try using powder eyeliner with a brush. its a lot easier to do, at least for me, and if you mess up, its easy to take off. close your eye, and go as close to the lash line as possible. under the eye, do the same thing. good luck!

Answer 4

Well you should learn from someone else like your freinds or if you have an older sibling ask them...

Hope this helps (:

Answer 5

maybe you have tourettes

or a mental disorder.

sorry.

Answer 6

don't flinch then you can put it on. just don't blink don't breathe. just stay calm slowly but surly does it.  practice or get someone else to put it on for you. i am pretty surprised by this question.

Answer 7

coordination/eye/brain/nerve damage?

if you can not do it, then it is not for you.

just leave it alone.

there are more important questions to ask

and more important things to do

Answer 8

it just takes a while to get used to, i had the same problem, it just takes practice, eyeliner is a mastered art.

Answer 9

Well,try crayon.

it doesnt smear,too much,not as much as liquid.

use your fingers and pull down on your eye skin,

well,underneath your eyes anyway.

like what you do when your making zombie/funny faces.

its easier if you want a thin line.

Answer 10

I stay away from eyeliner because I have the same problem.

I guess some people have more sensitive eyes than others..

Answer 11

thats okay. I do that too sometimes! what you do is finish the eye, even if the eyeliner goes all the way up to your eyebrow! then you take liquid foundation or some type of eyeliner cover-up/remover and apply to the eyeliner that you don't want, and not putting it on the eyeliner that actually lines the eye.

it might also help if you put it on the underside of the lid. remember there are risks to this though like bad allergies, etc.

Answer 12

maybe u can let someone eles do it for u thats what i do.

good luck hope u get it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 13

i use to always do that. i found an eyeliner that goes on smooth from lancome and well... it works for me :)

Answer 14

I have the same problem. I find that it helps to stretch the part of your eye that you're working on. Hope that helps! =)  

Answer 15

You have to calm down.

Hold your eye with one hand and put it on with the other.

You can always put more on than needed and just use a Q-tip to fix it.

Answer 16

gently place your hand on your cheek and pull down, this will make you twitch less as it's further away from your eye now, also make sure you have a soft eyeliner pencil which is easy to blend so it looks less messy, try barry m or miss sporty. opt for thicker pencils.

make sure you are resting your elbow on something and have both arms free- with a mirror placed in front of you, try a lighter shade like brown or charcoal if black is too difficult for you.

also try a liquid eyeliner if u like.

remember- practise makes perfect!

good luck

Answer 17

if you have never really done it before, your eye naturally tries to get whatever is trying to get in your eye away. believe me, it took me a couple weeks before i could do it. just keep trying and just bear with it.

Answer 18

its alright if that happens it could be ur first time...

just keep trying and u will soon get used to it..

go to ur local mall then to the makeup area and they can teach u

Answer 19

Just keep practicing, you'll get the hang of it,i promise.

Answer 20

Practice makes perfect, hun. I had that too when I started. I use pencil just in the corners of my eyes, and I don't put it on top of my lashes, it goes right on my lash line. Just mess around with it one time when you have no where to be, you'll get it.

Answer 21

doing this and pulling your eyelid to the side can help.

Like in this picture.

not my picture so sorry that it's big!

Answer 22

You are obviously a little bit scared that it might go in your eye so you twitch thinking that something is going to happen.

Answer 23

i learned this trick when i used to wear liquid eyeline alot.  rest the palm of ur hand right under ur cheek like right next to ur jaw , then only move ur wrist as u apply the eyeliner.  also try to twist the eyeliner pencil tip between ur finger tips for a few seconds to 'warm' it up and make it easier to apply, like u don't have to apply so much pressure....
