I’m completely new to using makeup and have no idea how to put eyeliner on. I just want a simple black line above my upper eyelid with a small winged tip.

I bought a pencil eyeliner but and am really struggling to apply it. Here are my problems/questions:

-I want a nice opaque black line but it looks too smokey and tends to spread. -I can’t make a nice line and there tends to be a space on my eyelid and it looks bad. -I’m not sure how sharp the end of the pencil is supposed to be. I tried to sharpen it but it keeps breaking. Now it’s really short. -How are you supposed to angle the pencil when applying it? -I wear glasses and it’s really hard to see what I’m doing when applying it -Should I be using a handheld mirror or something else? I’m just been standing at my bathroom mirror because I don’t own a handheld mirror -Do you just use makeup remover to take it off? -Should I use liquid eyeliner instead? I find it looks better but I read that it’s hard to use if you’re new to makeup.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
