You should use the water proof kind of eye liner so it doent rub off.

Answer 2

Ok. So you've drawn a great thick line around your eyes, smacked on some gorgeous lip paint, and have spent hours making your skin look flawless. You look in the mirror before you leave and you look so amazing it's ridiculous. Your eyes stare back at you, a smouldering sultry s**y tigress raring to go to the party.

You leave the house. You go to this party. You rave for an hour or two. Flirt with some guys, flicking your hair about and twizzling it between your fingers, thinking about how awesome you look, and how much they must want you. You step into the bathroom, go to the toilet, and are absent-mindedly washing your hands when you half glance into the mirror.

And then you freeze in shock. Your eyeliner is half gone, running down your face faster than Kelly Holmes on the track, and you think to yourself, “Why didn't someone tell me? I must have looked like such an idiot.”

I've been there. This is my story. But today is the day it all changes.

We are going to make sure that eyeliner stays on if it kills us. And that's a promise.

Here's how to apply eyeliner! Let's go!

1) Well, firstly we have to make sure our skin is perfectly free of oil. It tends to collect on our eyelids so wiping these over first with a cotton pad is a good idea. Also sweeping skin coloured powder over them is usually a great help too, but not too much, you don't want to look like you have dandruff on your eyelids.

KEY POINT- MAKE SURE YOUR FOUNDATION ISN'T OILY or you're doomed to fail from the start. If it is oily, and you need it, then make sure it goes nowhere near your lids, just blend around. A good thing to use is an eye primer like Mary Kay, as it creates a base, which is made specially so your eyeliner stays on longer.

2) Try liquid eyeliner if you use kohl. You can get some pretty nice effects by using both in combination. For instance, put blue kohl underneath your eyes and then apply black liquid over the top, but don't completely cover the blue. It should stay on for a good while, and look pretty!

KEY POINT - ALWAYS USE WATERPROOF eyeliner or it could get messy. It's a good idea for most of your products to be waterproof. Figures.

3) The quality of your eyeliner makes a difference. Is it really worthy enough to be put on your pretty face? Good stuff like MAC is the way to go. Also add an eyeliner sealer. Fish around, there should be some good stuff on the web.

And to speak the obvious, DON'T rub your eyes, no matter how much that itch is frustrating you.

GOOD LUCK!

EXTRA LIQUID EYELINER TIPS

Place a mirror on a table in front of you. Sit down and rest your elbow on the table so your hand is nice and steady. Keep your eye half-open so that you can more easily follow the eye's contours. Try getting your line as close to the lash line as possible by lifting your eyelid from under the arch of your eyebrow instead of tugging the skin off to the side, as is common practice. When you're just starting out, don't worry about doing the line all in one go. Draw three fine dashes, one on the inside, middle, and outside corner, and connect them.

For a retro look, keep the line very thin at the inside corner, and thicken it slightly as it curves outward. You can keep extend the line just slightly outside the outer corner and even wing it a bit for cat eyes and a bit of Brigitte Bardot sixties glamour.

Once you're fully comfortable with liquid liner, you can do all sorts of creative twists on your eye makeup.

Draw on delicate Twiggy-esque bottom lashes, or add several swoops to the outside corner. Be careful when applying liquid eyeliner to the bottom eyelid, as some products can sting a bit if they creep accidentally into your eye.

Many times, a highly pigmented black shadow and moistened skinny pointy eyeliner brush (I love Benefit's Get Bent brush) can fake the delicate lines almost as well. That takes a bit of practice, too, but the clean up seems to be easier if you're a touch accident prone while learning.

If you're really cackhanded at applying eyeliner but determined to keep trying, investigate eyeliner felt pens - they're just like felt tip pens, but they're eyeliner! These eyeliner felt pens give you a bit more control if you've got wonky eyes or shaky hands...

for your eyes..

FOR BLUE EYES

1. Tried and True: taupe, gray, violet, purple, deep blue (a darker shade than your eye color makes your eyes really blue), black (mix it with bright blue for a smoky effect)

2. Funky Favorites: silver, turquoise, fuschia (brightens any shade of blue)

Answer 4

The eye shadow you should use a white or creamy colored one for your blue eyes. And I used this to help me apply my eyeliner :]

Answer 6

I would apply eyeliner (liquid) where you have it, but a little bit thicker.

I would also take a think brush, very thin and black  eyeshadow and place it right under the inside eyelid.

You could also smear it a little.

I would also take the same eyeliner and put it in the top lid.

Fake eyelashes will make it stand out more.

Answer 7

Believe it or not, you really need to be wearing a dark brown eyeliner. The fine brush liquid is the best and will not come off. Just be sure to give it a minute to dry.

Blue eye shadow is back in and would enhance your blue eyes. They blues a muted today and not like the old bold color they use to use.

If you do not want to go with blue, the shimmer champagne would look nice and open up your eyes since you do not want to use a light base and then a darker eye shadow. Try it and see how you like it. But, I really think a nice light shimmer muted tone of blue would look the best.

If you want to go with the look in the picture, use a medium brown or shimmery champagne. You do not want to go too dark because it will make your eyes look smaller and more closed.

Answer 8

Just put it on the inside rim of your eye on the bottom and do the same on the top. Then do a very thin line on the top lid to were it connects with the eyeliner you put on the inside rim. As for eyeshadow use a light brown maybe tannish looking.

Answer 9

First off-if you have blue eyes you should use blue or even brown eyeliner, otherwise it's going to look like a LOT of make up no matter what...but I recommend using liquid liner (loreal, it's about $7), and it will last all day.  Because the little brush can be hard to get those lines juuuust right, use a Qtip and eye make up remover to run across the line and make it perfet
