I Need Help with Eyeliner!?

Question

Okay I am going to the jonas brothers concert tomorrow and I might ( have a good chance ) of meeting them. And I want to wear eyeliner but I put it on and I got it all messy and I am not good at any tips?

Answer 1

Liquid eyeliner looks harsh on most women and is harder to apply than a pencil.  Is your pencil fat or thin?  If it's thin, you're in. If it's almost your lash color, that's even better!

1. Sharpen it to a point.

2. chill it in the fridge for a few minutes if it seems too soft.

3.Get a magnifying mirror, good lighting and a place to rest your elbow.

4. DON'T draw a line; you're going to make little dots.

5. starting at the outer edge of your eye, push the point of the pencil between your upper lashes, making small dots.  See how it makes the base of your lash look thicker?There's actually a little "ledge" that your lashes grow out of. Put the color there, not above the lashes.

6. take your time and work towards the inner corner of your eye, stopping where your lashes stop.

*resharpen the pencil as the point wears down.

7. repeat with the other eye.

8.For the bottom lashes, draw tiny dots only where the thinner clumps are and stop when you reach the outer edge of your iris. Filling in the entire lower lid makes your eye look smaller.

If you have a thick pencil, do the same technique, but be careful since they are usually softer and smear easily.  Definitely chill a large pencil for 15 minutes in the fridge.

Answer 2

something i do is use a little bit (and i mean little) of eyeshadow that matches myskin tone and rub some right below or above where i applied eyeliner. i was just messing around one morning, but it actually works. it doesn't smear throughout the day anymore!

Answer 3

use liquid eyeliner

Answer 4

Either way is fine ....if you have small eyes be careful if you tight line because it will make your eye appear even smaller but if you have big eyes tight lining them ( in the rims ) makes them really stand out. Also if you take your pencil and line the top rim of you lashes it will make the lashes appear fuller. I would just practice and see what you like best ....one day when you have free time ...try lining one underneath the lashes and then do the other by lining the rims and see which one you like the best ....if you opt for lining the rims make sure you get a good waterproof liner .....

Smashbox came out with a liner that is like a gel that you brush on and it is formulated just for lining the rims of your eyes and I have it and it works great ....it doesn't irritate the eye nor does the liner float around in the eye .....I really like it.

Also the company tarte makes a pencil that is the same ....it is formulated for lining the rims of the eyes and doesn't float around or disappear or irritate them ....

Liquid eyeliner is the best choice is you dont want your eyes to be raccon eyes and look awesome fot the jonas bro.s

Answer 7

get liquid liner with a fet pen tip or a SMALL brush. itll stay thru sweat and all. Steady the ball of the hand your applying with on your cheek to steady it. Also standing in fropnt of a big bathroom mirror helps. YOu can staedy your elbows on the sink counter. Also pratice on yourself a few times till you get the hang of it. DONT try something new the night of a big event! Pratice on paper too if you feel ike youre just not getting it. Also if you make a dot on the outside of yor lid,the middle and inside points you can just connect them all for your upper lid liner.

With pencil apply your base to your lids first. Then your shadow. Then BURN the end of your eyeliner with a lighter for like 10 seconds. This softens it and makes it easier to blend.

Answer 8

Okay well put your eyeline on before any other makeup. That way if you mess up you can rub it off without smearing everything else around like mascara. Just apply a thin amount on your top eyelid and I like to put mine on my lower lid just above my eye lashes.

Good luck!

Answer 9

dont rub your eyes... try using a thinner eyeliner

Answer 10

close your eye and pull the pencil across your lids in the space between your eyelashes it should come out fairly even or get someone else to put it on for you
