- Hi everyone! Hope you all are well :) Today I'm showing you how to effectively line the waterline and I'm also talking through tightlining. This video was requested by Melissa Kelleher so thanks Melissa :) Lining the eyes is something I dread doing. My eyes are quite sensitive, they water a lot so this step can be a nightmare at times. However, I like the effect though which is why I carry out the process! If you struggle with lining the eyes and/or have sensitive eyes, you may find my tips and tricks helpful :) I hope so anyway haha! Chat soon :)

"My eyes are quite sensitive." Pokes eye repeatedly.
-me. 😂
If her eyes are sensitive then my eyes and super hyper overly sensitive lol!
I'm low-key scared to do that
you: **closes eye on pencil thing**
me: **scared noises**
Yes creepy.
@@CertifiedToSimp it's actually not as scary once you get used to it!! I usually use gel eyeliner and a super small paint brush and it's a lot less scary doing it that way :)
I have spent my whole life unable to apply eyeliner and I’ve watched countless videos but you gave me the best tips by far. Thank you so much 😊
What color mascara do you recommend for a blond with green eyes and they are actually multi colors. I like for them to pop. Do you use a cream around your eyes to draw attention to them. Thank you dear for your help. 😍
@@tinaking9002 maybe a dark green?
just watchinf this made my eyes tear up😭
i think tight lining tickles soooo bad lol
It does haha it's such a weird feeling! x
Omg yeah then i blink and stab my eye
@@EimearMcElheron Hello lovely lady, Great tutorial!
Can you help me with how to tightline my upper waterline without it printing on the lower waterline? I've tried white eyeliner but no joy. Thanks xx
You know what they need to invent? Is a color for the water line that is a white bluish grayish color that matches the whites of the eye identically. White is too whit and cream is too brown... know what I mean?
Genius
Sephora has something similar
@@jamesr.g.2320 do you know the name of the product?
As someone who also has sensitive eyes that love to water when I do my eye makeup your tip of using a cotton swab to absorb the tears is brilliant and something I'll defiantly be doing in the future. Thanks a bunch!
Using an ear bud to hold the lid open is such a simple but brilliant tip. Nice one!
Hey! Where are you from? I was just wondering bc where I'm from we call it a Qtip
@@mermaidnextdoor5172 Ireland 🙂
@@Slippers900 oh that's cool!
I read this comment before watching and was expecting to see her holding her eye open with an airpod or something 😞
@@littlemissink Same. 🤦🏽♀️
I love the look of tightlining and waterlining, but no matter what I use, they don’t stick. My eye-skin must be too wet. My eyes tear up a lot.
Looks very good on you.
I can’t apply eyeliner to the waterline to save my life. I end up with the eyeliner all in my lower lashes and I look like a raccoon. So frustrating! Must not be for me
just thinking about doing my tightline gives me hebegebees. ... I love the video though :) x
Aw I know, it freaks me out haha I dread that step in my makeup routine! Thanks a million :) x
Those are some really interesting tips. I've been wanting to master the upper waterline. I like the q-tip idea to hold up the upper lid. The closing the lid on the pencil looks...tricky, but very intriguing. Great video!
This is the best, most straightforward tutorial I have ever seen on this subject. Thank you!
Agree!
That seems so dangerous 😂 .... oh the things people do for makeup
TRG Right? Watching her do it so naturally, and going in the bathroom and trying it myself -- two entirely different things. lol.
You absolutely don’t know what woman go through hehehhehehe 🤣
I am a woman who doesn9t use makeup. I am scared it will make me look worse. Uhhmmm😞
@@ankita1102 Everyone has to start somewhere. When I first started using makeup it was a mess. As time went on though I started getting better and looked decent.
@@jaelenbby i hope i reach there someday😁
Oh my gosh, your accent is so beautiful.
Lol I'm from Northern Ireland and our accent is different in a way
But sometimes the eyeshadow gets inside the eyeball and the eyeshadow particles hurt
I’m too scared to even get close to my eyes
Omg the closing the eye trick is fucking genius!
Do not use make up on the inner part of the eyelids. (waterline )You will mess up your eye health.Also You will have vision problems
Crikey! That was painful to watch, but it was very informative and a testament to bravery. However, I don't think it's worth the hassle personally as I don't see a real problem with leaving the water lines bare and I'd probably just end up poking myself in the eye and be left with a mess. I also am curious as to how one would thoroughly remove the product from such sensitive areas without hurting themselves. Not to mention what might happen if the eyeliner and/or eyeshadow gets into the eyes.
Hey Eimear! I've been watching for a while,and i have to say you are fantastic to teach these tips and tricks👌,you explain everything so simply and make it so anyone can improve or try out any make-up look👍 Thank you for sharing☺!!
Okay, so I have blue hooded eye, cannot line the top lid to save my life, when I have had it done by friends it doesn't suit me. I know that the gurus (not this lovely lady,, who's tips have helped me improve my look and technique) say that lining the bottom with black liner makes you eyes look smaller but when i do it, people always say that it makes my eyes look bigger and brighter. I just find it weird that the what is considered correct in eyeliner is wrong for me or am i just weird?
OMG I REALIZED I WAS PUTTING MY EYELINER ON THE WRONG SPOT AND NOT MY WATERLINE
where were you putting it...?
@@user-jt6fd8vi3h like right under my waterline
@@Its.kitkattt oh lmao
@@Its.kitkattt AHHH SAMEEEE 😭
no wonder why when I did it- it looked sooo weird
Idk why but when i apply kajal (eyeliner)in my lower eyes i look like a dacoit 🙄🤣🤣
💕love the tips on tight lining 👁👁in the middle of doing my makeup will try it now!!
Fantastic to hear :) hope the application went well! X
Very helpful, thank you!! Never thought of using (what we call) a q-tip to keep the upper lid open without smudging!!
I have to do my tightline first if I'm doing it because it makes my eyes tickle and water terribly as well. It's torture to do but it looks so good that I do it sometimes anyways
Yeah that's the same as me! I hate lining my eyes but I like how it looks so I deal with it haha. x
I just cannot..... I came here for tutorial but even the thought od bringing somethat clsoe to eye jfksmfkdmdkf.just makes me soooo damnnnnn uncomfortablleeeee
you are so incredible at what you do! I have a question I'm hoping anyone can answer...When I wear black or any dark liner in my lower waterline, it always ends up building up in my inner corner and getting "gunky." Even if I set it with a black or same colored powdered shadow, it still does this. I've tried not taking the liner in too far to see if it helps, but even then it still works it's way to the inner corner and getting yuck. Am I the only one? I don't hear anyone else talk about it, so I feel like I'm the only one lol
Ellen Marie O you're not the only one. I see this complaint about eyeliner pencils all the time in the comments/reviews sections. I think water/tight lining is something you have to touch up every few hours if you use pencil.
I don't usually line my bottom waterline but I do tightline my top. The only pencil eyeliner I've found that doesn't collect in my tear trough is by IT Cosmetics. It also doesn't irritate my eyes. When I was in high school (a long time ago) I used waterproof automatic liquid eyeliner in my bottom waterline. It never smeared or transfered. I could even swim in it. The trick is wiping off the excess from the applicator brush & only getting product on the "ledge" near your bottom eyelashes. Let it dry thoroughly. If it touches the wetness of your actual eyeball it will not only smear, but most likely sting. The eyeliner I used is no longer available. I don't know if this would work with the current liquid &gel eyeliners on the market, but if it's wp, I don't see why not.
It happens to me too! Doesn't matter what I do it gunks up and then like.. bleeds out the inner corner making it look terrible. I love doing a black bottom waterline but I hardly ever do anymore because I've tried everything and none of it seems to work. The ONLY pencil that seems to do decently is the Marc Jacobs highliner - but even that does it after a few hours. It just takes a little longer than most.
Me too
*_I just use white eye pencil for lower water lines.😅😅😅_*
@@sakuraharuno4667 --- WHICH ONE? Brand Name?
Thank you for sharing! I was always confused on how to tightline the top!
I keep blinking and closing one of my eyes while watching this. I would just use the eyeliner at my lashline to be safe. Not the perfect makeup but enough for natural or no-makeup makeup look especially with brown eyeliner 😂😂😂
And how do you remove eyeliner from upper lashline??
My teddy bear says it’s nasty it’s like a man trying to poke my eyelids with pencil or mascara or cotton swab
I always pull my waterline down I've tried to do other way and end up poking myself n the eye
Same tho. Sometimes i accidentally stab it with mascara 😆
Very helpful. If I wanted to black tightline, but put a nude colour inside my lower line, is there anyway to stop it from transferring or is there a brand you can recommend that’s non transferable?🌞🧜♀️
For some reason, I CANT FUCKING DO THIS
How do you get the inner eye liner to stay on and water off?
This scares me so much 😂
I don’t make the rules. Anyone with eyeliner is hot hot hot
The first trick lining the upper tight line with the cotton tip worked great! Had no idea how to do it and was always afraid. I too have dry eyes and my eyes water often so felt comfortable with your tutorial. And my tight line liner lasted 12 hours!
is it just me or is the red eye thing not suppose to happen when ur applying eyeliner
You're Beautiful....Thank You For this Useful Tutorial....
Great Tips.
Btw I just subscribed to Your Channel.........●PAMELA●
Omg...my eyes water ALL the time too. I use a qtip but not with the head tilt. I'll def try it. I even take qtips with me after I'm done, and I go out. It's really horrible applying makeup with watery eyes. Takes longer. More cold forms in the eye. Soooooo irritating. 😥😐😫😝😭😢
FlyLotus9 you might want to see a doctor just in case I have the same thing and there is a surgical option that is very cheap and it solves the problem
your eyes looks really beautiful actually
I never knew about the shadow trick! Gotta give it a try! I usually close my eye when tightlining.
Yeah I think that's definitely one of the handiest ways for applying liner :) Great to hear you picked up a tip! Thanks for watching x
Thanks for the help! I don’t think I am quite able to do that yet but at least I know some great tips!
Am scared of applying pencil in to my eyes because i think that the white portion of my eye will become black...lol
Very good tips here. I especially like the q-tip trick of holding up your lid to tightline. I've found that my eyes can only tolerate 2 brands of pencil in the waterline/tightline. Anything else is very, very irritating. I'm sensitive to mascaras too. My eyes are just so watery in general, I must be careful & use wp mascara & eyeliner. It's not a big deal using oil based removers.
It can be such a nuisance can't it? I'm the same with regard to pencils, I only have a few that I go between :) Delighted to hear that you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching ! X
I personally never put any product on my waterline as my eyes can't tolerate any product applied like that. But I'm sure this video will be helpful for those who use this trick to look cool. :)
People who tightline the water line must not have to wear contact lenses.
Your eyes are beautiful for this type of application because you're young and your skin is very supple. But I have found the older I get the harder it is to find a good pencil and try not to put myself in the eyeball. I just love a dark sultry look. Thank you kindly for your post
Great tip thanks a million 😎
Thank you for this video. It would be the best and easiest eyeliner tutorial I’ve found yet. 😊
Thanks. I’m a newbie and I find your vid very helpful.
Mannn I didn't even pay attention to the video ...my whole concentration was on your insanely beautiful eyes
Creepy how they’re putting get vaccinated ads on your video 🤦♀️
Thank you for this vid I've been applying liquid white eyeliner to my water line.
Better than eyeliner...
You're eyes are so beautiful😍😍
i got super excited when i did my waterline for some reason, probably because i used to be deathly afraid of eyeliner because of doing waterlines
The cotton in the tear duct literally just changed my life!! Thank u so much 💓
Am I the only one that makes an ugly face when I line my eyes?
Nope😂
Apply Kajal/Kohl, Tightline and Smudge it like a pro!
th-cam.com/video/NUnsWAi6l3I/w-d-xo.html
This is very helpful. I wear contact lenses and I haven't been very successful with eyeliner. Thank you for your video.❤😂🎉
How do you remove the eyeliner at the end of the day? I’ve tried with remover but it stings so bad n my vision goes blurry..
Damaris Warkentin try the garnier eye makeup remover it works rlly well
Try putting vaseline over it all before you sleep and put a towel or something on your pillow and in the morning it will just wipe straight offf
*_I just rub coconut oil then get rid of it easily.. then wash it_*
Cetaphil the blue face wipes for sensitive works wonders only thing I use.. Hold it for a bit, don't rub so vigorously 💕
Its harmful or not ?
Can boys use that ?
Kajal has so many benefits to the eyes, and boys can use it as well!
Girls can wear jeans shirt 😶😶
Girls can have short hair but boys cant wear skirt or cannot apply lipstick 😂😂
Girls are multitalented 🤘🤘
You are beautiful....Beautiful eyes
DONT do the upper waterline. It can give you eye infections
I've accidentally bought eyeliner with strong pigmentation and a very creamy tip. Any idea how to work with that?
I've tried all different brands but even if I warm the eye pencil in very hot water it still doesn't go on my waterline... Help?
Your hair is cool toned and so are your eyes. That foundation/contouring clashes with both and makes you look sickly.
the product seems to not even go on, is there something i’m doing wrong?
what pencil are you using? it doesn’t work with felt tip or liquid eyeliners
same i think my waterline is to wet i would wait a day till the water production in ur eye calms down
I cant get eyeliner to stick in my waterline no matter what i do
@@saramg6973 thanks! I'll check it out
my liner doesn’t look sharp and it starts to run after a while. how do i fix this ?
i can feel this video
Great video, very simple and I think I will be using this techniques
I wanna try that but how would I get it off and not go blind!? Is it safe for that stuff to be on those parts of the eye??
Andrea Goldhurricane I wear contact lenses too, so I wonder if it's okay with those? 🤔
My eyeliner pencil just slides over my inner lid!
Poking and digging at her "sensitive" eyes like that. Crazy
Very useful video thank you very much !!! You’re so pretty, soothing and professional :)
You're very kind :) Thanks so much! X
I can do the bottom. But the top scares me 😭
What do you suggest is the best tight liner for irritated eyes I have a terrible time NYX makes my eyes irritated plus I like a natural color not white I think white when you're 65 years old makes you look older what is your opinion?
How without poking yourself in the eye?
i think my eye pencil is a bit creamier, do the same things still apply?
Aankhe phorh lo blkl
These are the easiest techniques I've ever learned. Thank so much:)
You are so welcome! x
Uhm, while lining the tightline and waterline, is it possible that the eyeliner on your tightline/waterline would go to your eyes? I hope this made sense. I have difficulties and trust issues(about myself) whenever I try to put eyeliner on my waterline. It could all go wrong u knoe.
Ahh thank you! I’ve just recently gotten back into doing my makeup after four years of not doing it. Doing my liner the usual way makes my eyes look smaller and does not make my lashes look thicker 😂. I will be switching to tight lining!
Your method made my eyes look so beautiful, Thanks a lot.
But I have a problem in removing the liner from the waterline as remover goes into the eyes and they become red. What to do, pls help!
Very helpful. Unlike them other 30 minute videos lol
Came for the tips stayed for the accent
Is that safe to put eyeliner on the waterline so close to the eye?
I hate the rings and pins on your face sorey to say....but i don't get why ppl on earth choose to spoil their face and beauty by doing such stuff!
I don't know how people bear septum piercing like how do they breathe
I have a bit of problem after applying the eyeliner to my waterline. There's always some smudge along my lower eyelids and it looks like i have dark circle. Anyone has idea on how to prevent this?
I've been using kohl inside my waterline.over 40 years.. no need to set it with eyeshadow.. it seems to stay in place..
You're clogging up the Meibomian glands along the eyelid line. They're going to die off and you'll end up with serious dry eye problems in the future.
my eye is irritated and it keeps watering what do i do?
The problem I had was not applying it my problem was trying to take it off :,(
Liner doesn't stick to my lower waterline closest to the eye - it does just a little lower - what to do?
does anyone else have a massive phobia of this
