Once you’ve selected a longwear, smudge-proof liquid eyeliner, there are a few other steps you can put in place to make your flicks last. First step is to apply a makeup primer designed for the eyes before you put anything else on your lids. Be aware that once you apply your liner, this makes it a bit harder to fix goofs. After drawing on your eyeliner, wait for it to dry, and then gently pat on a translucent powder. This will keep it from transferring up to other parts of your lid or above.
