whenever i do my top lid with eyeliner is looks too thick and gross. but here it looks so thin. i use a fine tip for my eyeliner too, but it doesnt work. how do you do this?

Answer 1

first apply the eyeliner on your top eyelid, and then damp a cotton swab (a little bit) or bit a tiny touch of soap and erased the thick part leaving and thin line. then you can take another swab that's dry and then just dry and get any messy part off.

Answer 2

There are a couple of ways of doing this.

1st, use a kohl pencil (sharpened well) that can be smudged.

I.e. MAC or Christian Dior (these are reliable brands).

Lightly draw a careful line along the top lid close to the lash line, and then use a brush (I.e. MAC - slanted) to colour it in and smudge it slightly. This way it is not a harsh and dramatic line, and still pretty.

Also, if your eyes are blue or a light colour, you should use a brown or navy blue if your eyes are blue.

I would also try (if you can) to draw on you upperlid (under the lid itself - you will need to lift your lid and draw under the lashline). This looks great! Use the same colour for the lower lid, and smudge also, but not too much, only use a small amount.

Use a mascara of the same colour, but use one thats natural and suits your lash style. If you have short lashes that do not curl, use a curler beforhand (boots £5-£10). Then apply mascara - for this look i would suggest L'Oreal lash Architect (for the cheaper budget) or YSL Faux Cils (for an expensive budget).

Basically smudging is the answer.

OR 2nd way is with just an eyeliner (any one) on the bottom lash line, and on the underneath of the top lash line only (again lifting the top eyelid to draw). This sounds painful, but I do this and it works wonders!

Again make sure you're using a colour thats natural and not to bold on your eyes. Black will make it look to thick. I.e. GREY, NAVY BLUE, BROWN.This again goes for your mascara. Using an eyelash curler gives your eyes the "fluttery/pretty" look.

Or...if you have the time or the money, you could use a liquid eyeshadow, dip the MAC slanted brush in, and glide along the upper lid lash line.If you have MAC products, the eye shadows can be wet and used the same way (wet brush first then dip in powder)

Please also remember that this photo is only small, and her makeup might look different close up.

There are other ways of doing it, but these are the most simple. Give them all a go - it will be a matter of trial and error, as she will have different features from yours, and will always look slightly different on each person.

I hope this helps   :) x

Answer 3

Use a fine pencil draw the line above ur lid even if its a bit thick than you wanted dip in a cotton bud(ear one's) in make up removing liquid and make the line thinner as desired

Answer 4

it's all in the practice. that's all I can say. unless you want to use pencil eyeliner...

Answer 5

the best eye liner ive EVER used is clinque's paint kind. im not exactly sure what it's name is but it's in a round container really small. it comes w/ a small eye liner brush so u just dip the end of the brush into it, get a little black on it and u can make the brush tip SUPER thin. i love it and it stays on ALL day

Answer 6

Go get a really nice brush. I would recommend the slanted brush from MAC cosmetics and Fluidline eyeliner. Sad to say that more expensive products usually are better when it comes to makeup so if you invest in a nice brush it will last a long time and it will pay off in the long run.

Check out the websites below. It is very easy to use and will go on very thin or thick depending on the look you want!

Answer 7

doesnt look like there is any eyeliner on the top.. but there is some on the bottom on the inner part behind the bottom lashes. try just using eyeliner on the bottom and putting a coat of mascara on top.

Answer 8

just do it normal then clean is up with a q tip. thats what i used to do when i wore eyeliner thin.

Answer 9

line the inner lash line (top and bottom) with grey/black eyeliner

Apply mascara,

If you've got anymore pictures then look real careful at where the eyeliner actually is on the eye.

Remember, there's nothing wrong with experimenting!

Answer 10

I know this sounds silly, but try making you a stencil that you can put on your eye.  That way you won't make the line thick because you will have a piece of paper or something that the liner will run up on if you mess up. Put the stencil just above where you want your line to be. Then draw the line.

Answer 11

well it might soud hurtful

put lift up top lid and put eyeliner there i do that its just like the bottom one

dont use alot of eyeliner also she barley has any on

Answer 12

Try not to press to hard. Go right on the eye lashes too.

Answer 13

Very very very carefully.

Make sure you're using pencil not liquid, and make sure its pretty sharp. If it comes out thick still, just use whatever you use to take your make-up off, and wipe away the thick parts.

Answer 14

that's a professional make up picture. It would be hard to get a make up like that.

Answer 15

there are many many online make up tutorials , even on places like youtube , go look :)
