This step is not essential but can really help to define your eyes if your room lighting isn’t the best or you have light or thin eyelashes.
The best thing about eyeliner, for me at least, is all the things you can do with it. A straight line, Egyptian style, winged cat eye, you name it and on the days that you want a simple look for class, it can stand on its own and also comes in various colors.
It can be a little tricky to get down at first but keep trying. We have a winged eyeliner tutorial and a basic eye liner 101 tutorial to help get you started.

Single colors are good to get because of course they are usually cheaper and you don’t waste money on colors you absolutely don’t want. When in doubt, just go for a simple taupe (like MAC Omega above) or medium brown on your lid and crease for definition. Alternatively, you can even smudge some around the bottom of your lid to act as a more subtle eyeliner.
