A neat little trick for today’s Beauty Tip of the Day involves your eyeliner pencil.

Take your eyeliner and run it over a lighter for a a second or two to soften it up a bit. Let it cool for a second and then you’re good to go to use it. The process of warming it will allow your eyeliner to apply in a smoother fashion and you’ll be able to get that perfect defined eye look.

It also works to slightly waterproof your eyeliner, especially on the inner rims, as well.
