Eyeliner is a make-up<\/a> must-have, but it can quickly become a nightmare. Smudgy lines, thicker lines, short-lived wear: these are common problems. Fortunately, a professional make-up artist<\/strong> has revealed his secrets for achieving a fine, long-lasting pencil liner in April 2026. <\/p>\n

A make-up artist’s advice for a pencil liner that lifts the eyes<\/h2>\n

Tommy Pierre Britsch, aka @tommypierremakeup on TikTok<\/a>, shared his complete method. According to this makeup artist<\/strong>, the first step is to choose the right formula. He recommends a waterproof gel pencil<\/strong>, as it holds better and resists everything throughout the day. <\/p>\n

Another surprising tip: apply mascara<\/a> before pencil. The make-up artist<\/strong> explains that the lashes will then start moving in a precise direction. This direction then guides the line of the liner. He also recommends a mascara with maximum volume for a more intense effect. <\/p>\n

“When you go to apply your mascara, your lashes are going to go in one direction, and that’s going to be the direction of your liner.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where to start the line to avoid a heavy effect<\/h3>\n

The starting point of the liner<\/a> is often overlooked. Yet make-up artists<\/strong> insist on this detail. He recommends starting the line from the iris, i.e. the middle of the eye. In this way, the line remains light and doesn’t overload the eyes. <\/p>\n

If the liner starts too close to the inner corner, the result becomes thick and too dark. The goal is to fill in the lash line at the outer corner, then draw a small comma. He also advises sharpening the pencil to obtain a fine lead. <\/p>\n
