Applying the long-lasting liquid may seem daunting at first, but with a few expert tips, any woman can pump up their lash line like a pro.

Makeup artist Pat McGrath, who regularly paints the faces for fashion shows in New York, Milan and Paris, divulged her liquid-liner secrets with Allure magazine.

To best enhance your eyes, pay attention to their natural shape.

Those with wide-set eyes should do the opposite, and line eyes to the inside corner while not extending past the outer corners.
