Keeping eyeliner from smudging?

Eyeliner smudging is pretty much inevitable. The eyes are naturally moist, and moisture along with laughing, blinking, sneezing and rubbing our eyes ruins makeup! What we can do is to make it smudge less.

• Avoid using too much moisturizer around the eye; it will travel and convert liner into mush. Try an eye gel instead of eye cream. Look for one that absorbs quickly and be sure to give it a couple of minutes before applying makeup.
  
• Help keep eyeliner in place with this three-layer application technique:

STEP 1 Using a Q-tip, trace a line of neutral-colored matte powder or eye shadow around the circumference of the eye as a base on which you'll place the eyeliner.

STEP 2 Use a pencil liner in your desired shade and dot along the lash line, creating your desired shape.

STEP 3 Use a fine-pointed brush and an eye shadow in the same shade as the pencil you used, trace over the pencil liner, staying within the line you drew with the pencil.
