Easy everyday tightlining and waterlining. Tightlining eyes can be intimidating. This is a bit chatty because it's not natural or intuitive to know how to tightline. This simple eyeliner tutorial will help show you how to do eyeliner in an easy way that you can do quickly everyday. I hope these eyeliner tips help you tightline eyes easier as well as decide if lining your waterline is right for you.

Thank you Stephanie! Your waterline public service announcement is much needed and, even though some folks don't want to hear it - we do need to be mindful of the cosmetics we put IN our eye. Your research is much appreciated.

@fiercest_calm 7 лет назад

Miranda Classics Yes!! Agreed!!

@cubbylevi1764 7 лет назад

Miranda Classics And the worst thing we with dry eye can use is Visine type products, which get rid of redness. There are disastrous effects to using these drops every day. So, I go to work with red eyes, and I don't like it.

@StephanieMarie 7 лет назад

+Cubby Levi This is SO TRUE!

@stacylyons9617 5 лет назад

Unfortunately I love the way tight lining looks but I had a terrible experience with it. I developed an infection on my upper eyelid. It is so swollen I had to go to a ophthalmologist to be treated and am on antibiotics.

@Southamericangirl42 2 года назад

I've done it once, my eyes looked gorgeous. But, I take lots of meds *and* I also use artificial tears because my eyes are chronically watery. So I got scared and went back to a thin black line very close to the lashes. It's better for my peace of mind and I don't wear makeup often. I'm sick enough, I don't need anymore health problems.

@bethhughes430 7 лет назад

As a nurse and esthetician I am SO glad you addressed the issue of putting makeup in the waterline! It does look beautiful, and when you're tired a white or nude shade eyeliner on the bottom waterline does make your eyes look more awake or bright, but there are other ways to achieve awake bright eyes. Great point, and I love your technique. I'm going to try it when I put my makeup on!

@Palladio-gu3dj 7 лет назад

I am always so happy to find women on RU-vid who use common sense about make-up and dont simply follow what ever is trending. Cheers to you! BTW: your beautiful eyes are not small!

@MascaratoMidnight 7 лет назад

SO TRUE!!! Sometimes I think I'm the only one...and that's why I love youtube. I realize I'm not. Although I may be the only one with 8 kids on youtube with a channel. LOL

@nomdeplume244 2 года назад

This absolutely needed to be said. Health before beauty techniques and trends!

@virginiav.1172 7 лет назад

Excellent video and as an RN concerned about eye health I highly commend you for talking about the meiobian glands in a way that I have not heard anyone on RU-vid do before. Kudos Stephanie!

@shellyb3662 7 лет назад

Thank you! This is a PSA that all makeup lovers need to hear. I was not aware of the actual medical issues that can be caused by lining the water line. I very rarely line my upper water line, and never the bottom one. Dark shades in the lower water line totally make eyes look smaller and I don't need that! I see some lovely ladies who do this and it makes their eyes look like squinty black slits--probably not the look they were going for. Oh well, to each their own. Thanks again for this great info!

@ABab-jf2jb 3 года назад

You don't have small eyes, you have beautiful eyes, the size of them is just perfect!

@francesrizor8395 6 лет назад

Thank you for taking the time to explain what tightlining is. I have heard several other youtubers say that was what they were doing, but they went to fast for me to catch the technique. Your video is much appreciated!

@StephanieMarie 6 лет назад

I'm glad to help! :)

@inezbradley 5 лет назад

I so appreciate your demonstration of how to get a good "tight line" look without actually putting liner product ON the waterline. I also think that it is so important to discuss the long term affect of using products on the actual waterline for all the reasons that you mentioned. Thanks so much!

@KraftyKaitlyn 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for doing this series! I'm tired of everyone thinking that they have to use the same technique. There are so many options when it comes to liner, and I don't know why more people aren't talking about liner that is actually flattering to your eye shape, coloring, makeup style, etc. I tightline almost daily, and have for years. My husband actually pointed out to me when we were dating that it looked more natural/flattering that way. :)

@susancole3151 7 лет назад

Thank you for emphasizing the ophthalmic issues you may encounter when outlining your waterline.

@karenjohn798 4 года назад

OMG love the doggie mooning us in the background with the big stretch

@denisesmessaert 7 лет назад

Thank you Stephanie for a very wise dialog regarding eye health and lining the waterline. I am over 50 and am really bothered with chronic dry eyes. I appreciate your observation that no one talks about it. You're right. No one does. When I was younger I did line my eyes and I have wondered if that has contributed to my eye issues today. Thanks again!!

@AllyKit 3 года назад

Every small hooded eye tutorial says to tight line but I couldn’t even think about it if I wanted to. I already get stye in my left eye once a year that last a month (and make me look like a hideous quasimodo!) so I am naturally prone to clogged oil glands. Also have had dry eye syndrome all my life (can’t wear contacts anymore now that I turned 50) and you’re right it doesn’t get better as you get older. But thank you for the brush-to-pencil technique that I have now adopted! So simple but I never thought of that! I’m so careful about cleaning my brushes and not using old makeup but my eye dr tells me it’s not bacteria it’s the oil glands like you said. I’ve learned so many little tips from you already. It’s also nice to see someone real who wears every day makeup, no fake lashes etc. I don’t want to scare anyone, especially now that we’re not going anywhere anymore. Wish I found you sooner. Thanks Risa 💕

@AlethrialTheElvenEmpress 2 года назад

Really appreciate this video, Stephanie! I’m 25, and have sensitive eyes. I always found waterlining to transfer to my inner eye corner in black gunk, so I stopped doing it. I actually don’t wear makeup very often because I never could make it work on myself, but I am slowly learning tips to make it look better. I also think the softer look is prettier and more elegant. Definitely easier to do. Thanks again!!

@nanamaw 7 лет назад

lining was very black and the mire the better when I was young my glands are past dead. lol you are the first I've seen on this subject. Thank you

@HeatherHowser 7 лет назад

Important info that should be shared more often! First time I had heard it...thank you!!

@marilynamsel6010 7 лет назад

Fabulous video. I have felt for a long time that pencil lining is harsher than shadows. Especially on fair skinned blue eyed people. However you have to be able to create some definition. That's why your demo was perfect. I have naturally hooded eyes slightly downturned and always feel that lining dark colors on the bottom waterline closes them in. I appreciate that you have brought this issue up. It isn't addressed enough. Eye lining in general is not so simple. It has to be adjusted to the individual and too many people don't seem to realize it. Thanks for bringing it up.

@StephanieMarie 7 лет назад

+marilyn amsel I'm so glad you guys are finding this helpful! Thank you so much!

@user-zk8ed4kd2b 3 года назад

I have always used my own technique to tightline just above the waterline on my upper lid. I’m actually applying the thinnest line between my lashes. You provided a service by addressing this issue. Right now, I’m having trouble finding the right liner. I used to use one from a are Minerals that was extremely precise but didn’t tug. They discontinued the liner. I’m watching your technique with a brush today to see what my alternatives are.

@LRWdesign 5 лет назад

I’ve started playing with makeup finally now that I’m retired and in my 50s. Never had time to really dive in before or Learn techniques that work for me. I’ve been having itchy watery eyes lately - irritated too. After watching your video I realized that I’ve been lining the waterline on my upper lash line and this has been happening since I’ve been doing it!! So tight line only for me and hopefully no more irritated eyes. 👍😊❤️ Thanks for this video.

@StephanieMarie 5 лет назад

@goldiemarkowitz9300 7 лет назад

Thank you for your honesty and warning. EVERYONE should view this video!!

@msr1116 2 года назад

Every one of those too dark, matte inky shades some of us can't wear as shadows bec they're just too much trouble to properly blend out, especially if our skin is porcelain, is perfect for tightlining . I have found that the wax in certain eyeliners cause my lashes to either break or block the hair opening, causing gaps, so I need workable alternatives to line my eyes. Waterproof is only for special situations like high humidity or weddings.

@oydebster 5 лет назад

Thank you Stephanie for addressing a health issue inspite of this being a makeup video. It's a great thing when influencers educate people regarding the effects of beauty routines, that way people can make informed decisions.

@suziek888 5 лет назад

Influencers are also the ones who recommend softening the end of an eyeliner with a flame from a lighter so that it will stick to the lower waterline

@susanmoore369 6 лет назад

I have never heard anyone explain about the oil glands. Thank you soooo much for sharing. I think this is very important for us to know...xoxo

@DenineMatsuda Год назад

I’m so thankful to have found this. I’ve been spending so much time and money trying to find a liner that will hold because I like the look. But this makes sense! It’s not even good for our eyes. Thank you so much. Moving on to next makeup lesson 😃👍🏼thank you so so much

@majordudette 7 лет назад

Yes! Thank you so much for posting this info. These glands are called Meibomian glands, and they release oil onto the eye to help tears evaporate more slowly, among other things. They can get clogged, inflamed, and yes, with age, they may dry up. Even my dog had an inflamed Meibomian gland that needed surgery to remove. If you like the waterline lining look - just do it for special occasions, not every day.

@rockyfan1959 7 лет назад

I had always thought that putting liner on your waterline must be bad for you. I had never heard anyone say it was, so I thought I was just being paranoid! Thank you for this video!!

@suzannehughes9692 3 года назад

Your makeup is so so pretty today!

@nikkithomas2095 7 лет назад

This may be super dramatic, but I took your advice for the Sephora sale and tried out the Living Proof Dry Shampoo, and it CHANGED MY LIFE. I have never used a dry shampoo that actually makes your hair clean! I love your videos; it's so great to watch someone who is closer to my age and is also a working mom. Thanks for the recommendation!

@StephanieMarie 7 лет назад

+Nikki Thomas Haha!! I know how you feel Nikki! Sometimes at the end of the day I forgot I didn't wash my hair that morning. That's never ever happened to me before...ever! I get you!! 😁👍🏼 Thanks for the feedback!

@ngosztyla 7 лет назад

Good info on being cautious about waterlining. My eye doctor told me a while ago that it is really bad for your eyes, so I rarely ever do this. Some of the 'younger' makeup gurus need to get this info out as well. Thanks

@robynsmeath2599 2 года назад

These are fantastic tips & are simple to manage for a great effect. Thankyou so much, I can’t wait to try it out.

@rachaelly 5 лет назад

I struggle with eyelashes that don't like to curl, and I try to fake a more feminine look with eyeliner. Unfortunately, no matter how close I get, there's a noticeable gap between my eyeliner and lashline, so I started looking for tightlining and waterlining tutorials. I'm so glad I found *your* video! I already have poor eyesight and occasionally my contacts bother my eyes--I don't want to sign up for that sensation 24/7! So I'm going to watch this video a few more times and take all of your tips into account to avoid having any trouble with my eyes down the road. Thank you for such a great, informative video, Stephanie =]

@StephanieMarie 5 лет назад

I hope it helps you! Let me know how it works for you! 😘

@arianasquillace 5 лет назад

Thank you for posting this video, I chronic dry eyes and this is the tightlining video I've been looking for. I love your PSA at the beginning it's nice to hear someone on RU-vid addressing of the same thing that my doctor told me about keep makeup off the and away from the water line.

@StephanieMarie 5 лет назад

@janemarie1167 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for making this video. I have hooded and downturned eyes and I struggle with applying eyeliner and shadow. I find that they really can make my eyes appear smaller and more droopy if I'm not careful. Please keep the wonderful advice coming. I really appreciate your honesty and fabulous easy everyday and non-youtuber tutorials. I need to go out in public after I apply my makeup and I appreciate "real" makeup tutorials for the over 35 viewer. Have a great week!

@Chelsea-ep5lr 7 лет назад

This video is by far so helpful and so amazing in my opinion!! Thank you for these helpful tips. I'm 42 and love my big eyes but I've found lining my waterline with pencil is too harsh. Can't wait to now use shadow and finally tightline without feeling like I'm poking myself in the eye

@mechelledewitt7066 7 лет назад

Thanks for the information beforehand. Of course I'm watching this after purchasing a Mark Jacobs liner to tight line.

@cuteyellowlab8592 7 лет назад

Great video, it was so helpful to learn that lining can led to serious eye problems. I know I often have to use a q-tip with makeup remover to fix &/or remove the liner from tightline & waterline. I can't imagine what is going to happen to the eyes of the girls in their teens & tweens who start applying makeup to their waterline, tightline & are using false eyelashes on a regular basis. Finding the right mirror angle will definitely help.

@melaniegalton5809 4 года назад

Thank you so much for mentioning the Meibomian Glands! I have recently been diagnosed with MGD (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). I have never lined on the water line, just happened as a result of age as you mentioned. I have spent over a thousand dollars to flush out the glands and I am still having issues and about to spend another thousand dollars on another procedure. It is no fun so thank you so much for warning others of the dangers of blocking these glands. I was on one of your other videos and you mentioned this one so here I am :-)

@lindaesquibel3457 6 лет назад

@gr8dmbfan 7 лет назад

Thank You! Thank You! For talking about the water line and the oil glands. I have watched a ton of makeup videos and see girls doing that and I am cringing and talking to the screen saying "oh no, you had better be careful". I am in my early 40's and I have sever dry eye that comes from a few things but mainly a couple autoimmune issues and medication side effects. I have very few oil so glads left on my lower lids and I get them scrapped every 3 months to remove dead cells. I sleep in googles to help keep my eyes moist pulse all of the other things one does that has dry eyes. Anyways, thank you again for saying something about it. So happy to hear it. Love your videos - great niche you are filling.

@StephanieMarie 7 лет назад

Oh no, the goggles. You poor thing! I was doing the same thing...I felt I had to say something! Thank you so much!!

@jeaniecastro9695 5 лет назад

Thank you for talking about MGD ... I have been suffering with this along with dry eyes for years . I suffer from intermittent blurred vision and occasional foreign bodied feeling . It's a horrible condition and I would caution your followers to not tightline !! These glands need to work properly and you are definitely putting them in jeopardy. You just preformed a public service for all your ladies . Thank you

@marnidillon2775 7 лет назад

Really enjoyed this video. I have started using powder to tight line with the flat brush and find it very easy and long lasting. Thanks!

@StephanieMarie 7 лет назад

+Marni Dillon I'm glad! Thank you!

@jjohnson1859 6 лет назад

I do the exact same thing very often with respect to tightlining with a powder eyeshadow or a pencil. You do some nice work and it's refreshing to see somebody on YT do everyday looks for professional women. Professional women can't go to work every day looking like a circus clown with 52 different bright colors and false eyelashes! I also agree with you about the waterline. I do it sometimes and when I do, I also usually use a lighter color.

@JennB 7 лет назад

This was soooo helpful! Thank you so much for making this video!! And thank you for talking about the waterline! I can never ever get pencil liner to stay in my bottom waterline so I rarely ever do that technique. And now I know why it doesn't stay put! I guess it's a good thing that my eyes reject the liner! Just tried the powder shadow liner with setting spray and this will definitely be my go-to from now on. Yay!! I don't have any roll models in my life so I really appreciate your videos. I've learned so much from you. Happy Mother's day btw. Your daughter is really blessed to have you in her life.

@StephanieMarie 7 лет назад

@WriterSnider 5 лет назад

Thank you for the warning about tightlining the waterline. I’ve never tightlined, but I’ve had Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and it is no joke! I now have to wear daily disposable contacts (not cheap) and sometimes (rarely now) still have to do warm compresses and wash my eyes with baby shampoo.

@cwm5316 7 лет назад

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for this wonderful video. The information that you provided about the waterline, the oil glands and their importance for eye health especially dry eyes is a much needed message for all of us who watch the makeup tutorials. I have dry eyes so I know how uncomfortable this condition is. I am limited with the amount of makeup that I use on my eyes. I usually use primer, shadow, and a pencil liner; rarely mascara because my lashes are sparse and never false eyelashes. Have a great week, Carol M.

@lisakaminski2335 6 лет назад

@diana4043 7 лет назад

Excellent video Stephanie! I wear lots of mascara and sometimes I end up coating my water line too too much... causing my eyes to water for hours! I will definitely be more careful now. Thank you ❤️

@sarajanehaven 7 лет назад

Thank you for addressing the dry eye issue and how waterlining may make matters worse. I have been battling dry eye for about 10 years and have lost my bottom lashes on the outer thirds of both eyes, most likely due to a dry eye underlying cause of Myobium Gland Dysfunction (MGD). I have only just started wearing eye makeup and will be sticking to tightlining. Thanks for the tip on wetting the brush first. I will give that a try.

@vsrobertson 3 года назад

Thank you for this video! My eyes are different sized and when I try to do a traditional liner, the size difference of my visible lids are really emphasized. This will help correct that!

@maren807 6 лет назад

Thank you for this information! I occasionally line my waterline but right after I do, I spray the liner with 70% alcohol then air dry it before I re-cover it to keep it clean.

@heathert5608 7 лет назад

I swear by tightlining. I've noticed as I've gotten older it is a much more flattering look. This is a fabulous tutorial. I love the It Cosmetics Tightline primer/mascara❤. Have you tried it?

@tanyac4869 3 года назад

I am so thankful I stumbled across your channel and this video in particular. I appreciate your in-depth explaination about the A&P of the lashline and causes of dry eye from lining that area over the years! Your straightforward explaination, and demonstration of different techniques were a delightful change of pace from other makeup tutorials. You've gained a subscriber! Thank you!!

@lesliesolwayboyd689 7 лет назад

Bang on Stephanie. I shudder watching women tight lining and waterlining too heavy. Shrinks the eye. You are showing the best way to do it. Great video 😉

@kimberlygarcia927 4 года назад

Thank you for the info, I'm a mature woman & was thinking of using a liner on my waterline but now I don't think I will.

@nikkicalnin1618 7 лет назад

Wow, no wonder I have so many issues with my eyes! I have used liner in my waterline since high school so that's over 20 years! I actually have issues with my eyes being TOO watery so I wreck my smokey eye and liner daily. I think now my eyes are over compensating. I will definitely be taking your suggestions, thank you!! Ok, I mentioned this in my last comment BUT I can't emphasize how much I'm loving my Revlon Pro Collection Salon one step Hair dryer and volumizer. It has ionic technology and it has a nice oval big brush with bristles that actually grip your hair!! What a concept! And finally it blows enough air, as much as a blow dryer that your hair is actually drying. It is 1100 watts as opposed to most of those roundbrush dryers that have 500 watts and take FOREVER to dry your hair! This is amazing, I have very wavy curly hair and this polishes it even better than when I dry with my blow dryer and round brush, because after that I still have to use my straight iron to sleek it out and defrizz it. This is so fast and easy, I get better volume and quite honestly $56 on Amazon Prime is not bad at all considering this is the first round brush dryer that I've found that actually works! I think you would love this Stephanie, I've watched your hair videos, this would be so ideal for you. My hair feels so healthy, I'm just still in shock how well it straightens my kinks, especially the ones so close to my scalp. Has anybody else tried this? Don't mistake it for the $26 one, I bought that one first on accident, not even close. It doesn't grip your hair. Anyway, I HAD to tell you again because for $56, and you can return it if it's not for you, it's worth a try! Anyway, I'll be rewatching this video tomorrow morning while doing my makeup, lol, GREAT tips! Thank you!

Over-watering eyes is def a sign of dry eye - the glands in the waterline may not be producing enough oil so the tears are evaporating quickly.

I have small eyes as well and I have been avoiding any liner on the lower lash line. I love the Marc Jacobs eye liner. It's so soft and creamy and comfortable to use. I also use a great deal less product because of that.

I loved this video. I do my makeup in a 10x magnifying mirror each day. This showed the application and honestly gave a more realistic experience of what makeup -- high end or otherwise -- can do for skin. Great job. Again loved this video.

Thank you so much for the waterline warning. I already have dry eye and the last few weeks I've been lining the waterline daily.

Thank you for this very informative video. I will definitely minimize tightlining now.

Thank you Stephanie for this information re the oil glands in your eyes. I have never heard anyone mention this before. Not even my optometrist told me of this danger. I will now only put color on my waterline on special occasions.

Thank you for doing a video on this subject and for labeling it as such. Made it easier to find. I go in and out with tight lining the lashes and when I do it, I use a flat across brush like you do. I have two of them that I bought from Elf cosmetics back when they were really cheap. I think they each cost about a dollar then but they're still pretty inexpensive, I think, and work very well for me.

Great info about keeping your eyes healthy! I don't ever line my water line because I'm afraid of getting it on my contact lenses, but this tells me that it's also better for my eyes. Thanks!

Hi Stephanie! This was so interesting! I never thought about the negative effects of lining the water line, but it makes complete sense. The method you use is great; I've tried it already and it works perfectly! Thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful evening . xoxo Daphne.💖

Shout out from over here in Picayune/Slidell! Love this vid, I learned the hard way in the 80's when I used to melt kohl with a lighter and line my waterline with it. Stayed on all night but I wreaked havoc on my eyes. Should be an occasional thing only.

Hi neighbor! :)

Excellent video Steph! Super helpful. One of the more useful RU-vid ones I've seen! Don't know why but never thought about tightlining with brush/shadow always just done pencil..think this will definitely make it much quicker in the mornings using brush...once I get the right angle for me. Difference using lighter pencil too for water lining. The contributory factor this all plays with dry eye symptoms of which I get occasionally - never linked the two! Thankyou - can't believe you've got 17k subs already..only seems the other day you started your channel! Congrats! x

Excellent, no one talks about this but it's so true, eyeliner on the inside of the eyes everyday is not good for eye health. 😃

This was very, very helpful. I have small downturned eyes. I look like a scary clown with a lined waterline. I have an exaggerated reflex on my upper mobile lid. It is so frustrating. I do look better with my eyes tight lined. I am going to try a brush with shadow. Thank you for this 💖💖💖

@joangieseke8941 7 лет назад

Great video and an important message about eye health. Your technique is so much more natural than many eye looks I've seen on RU-vid. I like to use pencil liner (NARS, Chanel, or Ulta) under the upper lash line and shadow with an angled flat brush over the lash line. If I'm using a palette, I just use the darkest shade and sometimes smudge it a bit.

@StephanieMarie 7 лет назад

+Joan Gieseke I love using the darkest shade in the palette I'm using...it's really convenient too. I find this to be what I do often! 😁
