Applying liquid eyeliner

(Sorry if there're similar posts on liquid eyeliner. I did a search but no results...)

I want to learn how to apply liquid eyeliner, can someone teach me? If I draw a thin line of liquid eye liner on my upper lid, when I open my eye, there appears to be a white gap between the line and my iris. I tried filling in using pencil, doesn't really work 'cos the pencil disappear after smudging.

I've oily skin so pencil tends to vanish mid-day. I wanted to use liquid eyeliner because it stays and it can save me from using mascara (which also smudge mid-day due to my oily skin).

Please help!

Thanks for the detailed explanations and tips. I'm afraid to draw underneath the eye lashes for my eyes are sensitive (and I wear contacts). I'll take b-jei's advice to use a mirror under my eyes. I'm now using the mirror on the wall so prob the position isn't optimal. All the work to try to make my eyes look bigger...sigh.

Thanks for the advice, B-jei. I've no idea what i'm doing, really...heehee. I realize that the liquid eyeliner I used has a not-so-good brush. I ordered some eyeliner powder from that mineral makeup website (which offers the free sample recently), and I bought an angle brush today. I'll try with that or just line the eyes with a darker color eye shadow. My other challenge is to make the makeup stay for a bit longer...the eye makeup tends to disappear mid-day, and I'm too lazy to care (i work at an IT company where ppl dress rather casually).
