Answer 1

either use a waterproof eyeliner,  bc it stays on better, or maybe your wiping your eyes, or touching them which is taking the eyeliner off. you want to make sure that your eyes are dry when you put it on, so it will stay on. try waterproof, and try covergirl.

Answer 2

Because that's the water line of you eye. When you blink the water of your eye gets on there and collects to keep your eyes moist. So of course you are going to have to reapply.

Answer 3

its because under your eyes are oily. i have the same problem and my cousin is a professional make up artist and she told me that, if you use make up remover, even if it has no oil in it. it will still be oily. so after you take off your make up, get a wet rag and wash the make up remover off. then dry it. that should help. it did for me.

Answer 4

get a water proof one this happens to me also but when i use a waterproof one it doesn't happen.

Answer 5

Not all eyeliner does this, its probably the brand or style you're using. Look for an eyeliner pencil that says something like long-lasting, smudge proof, or all day wear on the packaging. Also, lining your botm lid just below your lower lashes will make it last longer. Its not hard to do if you practice. Just hold your lower lid at the corner and pull it outwards so its tight, then draw the pencil on as close to the roots of your lashes as possible.

Answer 6

Either way is fine ....if you have small eyes be careful if you tight line because it will make your eye appear even smaller but if you have big eyes tight lining them ( in the rims ) makes them really stand out. Also if you take your pencil and line the top rim of you lashes it will make the lashes appear fuller. I would just practice and see what you like best ....one day when you have free time ...try lining one underneath the lashes and then do the other by lining the rims and see which one you like the best ....if you opt for lining the rims make sure you get a good waterproof liner .....

Smashbox came out with a liner that is like a gel that you brush on and it is formulated just for lining the rims of your eyes and I have it and it works great ....it doesn't irritate the eye nor does the liner float around in the eye .....I really like it.

Also the company tarte makes a pencil that is the same ....it is formulated for lining the rims of the eyes and doesn't float around or disappear or irritate them ....

Answer 7

ur only suppose to put liquid eyeliner on ur eyelid b/c it stiongs if it gets in ur eye, if ur pencile eyeliner isnt working get a different brand smart one!

Answer 8

Don't worry you aren't doing anything wrong.. everyones does that too !  Its just because its in the inside of the eye and the moisture of your eye just rubs it off because its so close to your eye.. what i do is try to apply it more inside the eyelashes, as it is harder to come off.. good luck x
