How do you put eyeliner on the top lid only?

Question

I usually just put it on bottom because i never learned how to do it on top! please help.

Answer 1

I take liquid liner, pull on my eye lid and go from front to back, small brush strokes. It takes lots and lots of practice to get it down. but worth while in the end. practice makes perfect

Answer 2

some people i know pull their eye out on the side and do a thin line right on the lash line

Answer 3

you are going to shut that on eye only (i can't shut just one eye so i pull my eye shut by pulling the skin on the outside of your eye towards that ear) then you are going to take the eyeliner and make a line (as close to the lashline as possible) and draw from the inside to the middle, then the outside to the middle and meet up.

hope this helps.

Answer 4

You smudge it into the lash line and then can smooth it out a bit w/a tissue or a Q-tip.

Answer 5

Oki so u put the eyeliner right on the edge!like right on the edge and since its ur 1 time it wont be v straight so get a cottonbud and smudge it so it looks smokey! x

Answer 6

Depends,liquid or crayon?

liquid might be easier but it smears if its too wet and when you go to blink you got it everywhere.

so a little is good,crayon/thin is easy too.

just close one eye and put it on the end .

1.Rest the elbow of your dominant arm on a hard surface , and rest your wrist on your face.

2.Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing

3.Use your left index finger (if you are right handed) or your right index finger (if you are left handed) and pull your eyelid gently to the side and slightly up, towards the far end of your eyebrow. This step is optional, because some people find it easier to draw accurately on a relaxed eye; also, stretching the eye may encourage wrinkling. To prevent the eyelid from shaking if you do not pull it, focus gently but intently on your eyes in the mirror. If you are applying eyeliner to someone else's eyes, ask them to choose one spot on the wall to look at.

4.Draw a line across the upper lid on the lash line (as close to your lashes as possible while still on the lid). This creates the desired illusion of having thicker lashes.

5.Know that if you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye.

6.Soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger. If you desire a crisp, straight line, as is the case with liquid eyeliner, do not alter unless it's messy. Any cleaning touch ups should be done with a cotton swab dipped in eye makeup remover.
