Every time I try to line the waterline of my eyes, my eyes always start watering which causes my eyeliner and mascara to smear. So annoying! Am I doing it wrong? How do I stop it?

Try pulling your waterline away from your eye and go slow and gentle. Make sure the liner is sharp so the actual pencil doesn't touch it. I'd also recommend trying jumbo eyeshadow pencils bc they're so soft and creamy. If all else fails, try a creme liner with a soft liner brush-it will stay forever and never irritates. It also might be the formula of the liner. I can use Urban Decay pencils all day but I can't have a Stila Smudgestick near my waterline without aggravation.

After pulling my eyelid out I wait and let my eyes water then dab the wetness with a clean tissue and proceed with liner. Sometimes I have to stop during the application and do the same thing but eventually I can finish. This helps me.

Mine water too, and it I go slow and don't pull my waterline very far, just enough to safely get color on it, it doesn't water as bad cause it doesn't get dried out (if that makes sense haha)
