 well hun yea i knw putting the eye liner at times can be pretty annoying especially when u have to get ready in a quickie lol..anyways firstly just make sure your eye liner pencil is sharp enough..using the pencil gently follow the edges of your eye..from the bottom edge start inside and move outward and frm the top lid start at the outside edge and move inward..use a q tip to blende,smudge or clean up excess..have fun experimenting..

 I think i might be some help to you! It's good that you don't wear foundation - there's no point in slapping it on your face if you don't need it, I used to be addicted but i've stopped applyin it all together now coz i wanna show off my tan :)So to your question - eyeliner! I never used to wear it either, but i couldn't do without it now! It does take alot of practise though. Buy yourself a soft kohl eyeliner pencil (they're the easiest to use) - 17 do a very good one for just £2.49. Don't buy the cheap ones (i.e. from pound shop) coz they're really hard and hurt your eye! Now as i mentioned it will take some practise. Apply the eyeliner inside the rim of the upper lashes to give your eyes some definition, then using small, soft strokes apply a thin line half way along the lash line of the bottom lid (from the outer corner to middle) and smudge with a cotton swab to achieve a soft look. But avoid filling in the bottom rim in black as this will make your eyes look smaller and less attractive, however if you invest in a decent white eyeliner you can make your eyes look bigger by applying inside the bottom rim. (I hope i've explained it clearly enough)Once you've got the hang on that, you can give your eyes even more definition by applying a THIN straight line across the upper lid, as close to the lashes as possible! But it's harder than it sounds, so it will take a few attempts to achieve!Hope i've helped you out a bit! You'll have a gorgeous wide-eyed look, if you apply all of these tips :)Good luck xx

 practice.
also, BYS (Be YourSelf) wind up crayons are really good! they are soft and blunt and the colour comes out really well. gently pull down you lower lid just a little and its just like colouring in. before you do liner on the top lids, practice at home so you get it perfect for when you go out :D

 I think you need to practise.. my best friend's eyes used to water when she put eye liner on her eyes but she's got used to it now.
I would suggest using eye pencil and not eye liquid liner.
It's easier if you melt it a little bit before you use it, use your hair dryer and for a few seconds hold it over the pencil. This will blunt it a bit as well. Then look in the mirror and pull your bottom eye lid down and then paint it on. This may take practice.. took me ages!
You could also try putting it along your top eye lid lashes instead but the pencil would have to be less blunt.
