Samantha,
I like to use the L'Oreal Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner, and like Jen, I start at the inner eye but just where the lash starts and move the line to the outside corner, but then I wing the line out farther.

To touch up, and finish the inside corner I like a fine line so I use some artist spotter brushes, # 000 or 5/0or 10/0 and 4/0...

These will give a fine line with nice control. I take the brush from the liner and do the line I want to be the thickest. Then put some of the product on the Lineur Intense brush and apply some liner onto the artist brushes and touch up or finish at will. Also, I use a magnifying mirror when I do this, it gets things up close and personal. I have never got used to the felt point tips, and never have I liked the results.
Like everyone else, usually I use a pencil on the bottom lid, and smudge, Sometimes I need a more dramatic look so, again I use artist brushes, but a little bigger and then wet them a little and dab them into a powder eye shadow. I use Mac, smash box or bar minerals or similar and put some powder in the eye shadow lid, then dab brush into it, gives more control so I can control the effect. Or if it's the harder type of powder just drag the brush over it, tap off excess then apply.
Hope this helps.......Tammy
