Raise your hand if you've ever accidentally poked yourself in the eye with your eyeliner. (So, that's pretty much everyone.) While eyeliner tends to be pretty straightforward—the basic idea being that you just trace your lash line—there are some surprisingly tricky aspects that can mess you up. The ultimate goal is perfecting liquid liner, which is like the cool clique of the eye makeup world (a.k.a. intimidating and perfect in an Instagram-worthy kind of way). But with the right tips, you can get gel, liquid, and pencil liners down to an art form. Read on for the biggest mistakes you're probably making. Mistake #1: Pulling or tugging your eye when you draw on eyeliner Pulling your eye back so your skin is taut and smooth seems more like common sense than a mistake, but apparently, we've all been wrong about this one.

Women can spend hours trying on makeup in stores, but spending hundreds of dollars on designer cosmetics simply isn’t an expense most of us can afford. But beauty doesn’t have to come at such a steep price. One of Yahoo’s very own makeup artists,  Maria Ortega , says there are plenty of high-quality products you can get right at your local drugstore.  Top 5 drugstore swaps for designer cosmetics.  1.  Simple Nourishing 24hr Day/Night Cream = $10 This moisturizer is the perfect base for your makeup and lasts all day.

1. Sunscreen You know that saying, "Black don't crack?" Well, only part of that is true. Black skin has increased melanin production, which better protects against damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun and keeps us looking younger longer. "It's like winning the skincare lottery because you don't really have to worry about wrinkles as much," says Gervaise Gerstner, M.D., a cosmetic dermatologist in NYC.

Try the  L'Orèal Paris Advanced Suncare Silky Sheer Face Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Sunscreen  and the  Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil Spray SPF 30 . Both deliver long-lasting sun protection but go on sheer so you can avoid the layer of white that sits on your skin. 2. Glycolic Acid You know those annoying dark spots on your (otherwise flawless) face that you hate? B...
