Apply Eyeliner

Lining the eyes with black eyeliner makes them really stand out. Use a liquid eyeliner on the top lid and a pencil liner on the bottom. (Use a pencil liner for both lids on very young dancers.)

To line the upper lid, apply a thin, straight line starting from the inner corner. For a dramatic effect, allow the line to extend beyond the natural eyelid.

To line the lower lid, start at the outer corner of the eye and draw a thin line under the lower lashes. Liner should start where the lashes begin and stop where they end on both eyelids.
