Q: How do I apply liquid liner like a pro?

A: First, get the right tools: I love those felt-tip markers that resemble calligraphy pens (like Sonia Kashuk Eye Marker, $5.99), which make application nearly foolproof. Rest the palm of your hand on your cheek for stability while drawing. For optimum effect, use short, smooth, overlapping strokes from the inner corner out instead of one swoop.
