dont over do it. and dont be scared to wipe it off and start over. take your time. do it back and forth until its as dark as you want it. and be really consitrated. if theres things that can distract you.. you may end up poking yourself in the eye. ow. just like mascara, its helps (me atleast) to have the mouth open a little.. i found you a couple sites to check out.. which i think are great.. good luck

hey. what i found that works the best is if you apply the eyeliner on your bottom eyelid... where the little hole by your eye is. dont put it all the way around. start from the center and move towards the back. it also depends what color you use. if you have blonde hair or light brown hair, you want to use a brown or a blue, that will make it so you dont look goth. if you have dark hair you can go ahead and use brownish black or black. you can also blot it with a Q-Tip to make it look more natural and not as severe. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥
here is one website that i think will help:

Dear Reader,
There is one very simple way to maximize the best effect of eyeliner... burn it. No, I don't mean like throw it in the fireplace because you are so frusterated with it; I mean literally burn it. First sharpen the pencil to as fine a point as you can get it(it will melt down a bit so really try to get it sharp). Next take a lighter and once you have the flame take the pencil in the other hand and QUICKLY pass it through the flame once or twice. Don't pass it through to slowly or it will melt down to far and you don't want that. You shouldn't even really be able to tell that it is at all melted, and don't worry it won't make it hot so it won't burn you or anything. After you've gotten that far put the lighter down and start drawing.
Start at the outside creace of you eye(closest to your ear)and slide it across right above your eyelashes to just past the center of you eye. Then as soon as your done with the top do it below your lower lashes about a quarter of the way across your eye. That's it for the eyeliner, once you've finished both eyes.
The reason you melt it a little is it makes the wax go inbetween all of the microscopic creases on your eyes and hold to your skin better. It will make the eyeliner darker and less likely to run or smear.
You never want to do just eyeliner though, at least always do mascara with it. And I recomend also using eyeshadow. But eyeshadow can often be more complicated, matching the color to your skin tone and applying it in the right place. If you have a mom or older sister that can help you with it that's great, just make sure you do your eyeshadow BEFORE your eyeliner if that's what you decide to do.
Hope that helped you out!

Well I don't know if you're using the pencil kind or liquid kind but it pretty much works both ways.
If it's the pencil kind, make sure you sharpen it to where it has a decent point. Otherwise it'll go on dull and darker/thicker.
If you want it to a thin/natural kind of look, start from the inside of your eye (where your nose is) and lightly sweep it to the side outwards. (towards your ear) Sorry if this is confusing..
If you want a thicker line, build it up gradually.Start at the middle of the lash line and draw towards the outer corner. You can extend the line slightly past the outer corner of your eyelid if you want.
Also you could try using two pencils - a lighter and darker shade of the same color. Apply the lighter from the inner corner to the pupil, or just before, and then use the darker pencil to the outter edge (extending it as little or as much as you want). Then smudge the colors using either a good eyeshadow brush or your finger (go lightly). Begin by smudging only slightly then gradually increase it if neccessary. If done properly this creates a lovely smoky effect using just a black pencil too.
If you think eyeliner's too much, or you can't get it right, just use mascara. It makes your eyes look darker just by itself.
good luck!
