I love playing with makeup, but I have trouble with my eyeliner! Please help!?

Question

When i put eyeliner on top of the lid, it kind of goes too far up sometimes and it could be eyeshadow! i am kindof getting better at that part but now for the bottom lid! i put it on but it kinof makes my eyes look smaller, maybe it's because it put it too close to my eye? thank you for anyhelp!

Answer 1

i just pull my bottom lid down and put it on the inside and it looks good! try that! i also have the same prob with the top! :)

Answer 2

Alright so when i put eyeliner on the top, i use my pointer finger on my left hand to stretch out my eye and then apply the liner right where my eyelid and eyelashes meet, but too close or else you won't even see it. Make sure you're eye isn't like spazzing when you're putting it on too.

About the smaller eye thing, you could try applying it a little thicker on the bottom, but too think so you look like a raccoon. I know that might sound a little confusing.

Sometimes when I put eyeliner on the top, I follow the small crease in at the edge of my eye and it makes it look bigger. Kinda like the Cleopatra look if you catch my drift but not THAT dramatic. It's very very very very subtle. You can't even tell in the picture, but when you're applying it it feels different. When you put the liner on the bottom lid, when you get to edge of the eye, swoop up so it meets that small line that you drew from the top of the eye lid. Do you know what I mean?

Okay I'll post pictures of what I'm talking about.

Anyway make sur eyou use mascara too. It just completes the look in my opinion. I don't wear it everyday because...idk. I just don't lol. Make sure you but a good mascara that'll make youre lashes look long and thick :)

1st picture-eye's open

2nd picture-eye's closed so you can see the top line

3rd picture-bottom line

ps. the mascara i'm wear sucks beause i need a new one. ignore it. :)

Oh yeah and also i hate pencil eyeliner. I just can never put it on right when I use it. Have you tried the twist up kinda eyeliner? Liquid eyeliner is always good to use on the top too.

But twist up eyeliner is just my personal preference. it's what i used in the pictures. If you wanna know what brand, just email me.

Answer 3

No. No no no. Please for the love of God, do not make yourself look like a friggin racoon by putting eyeliner on your bottom lid. Let me be honest and tell you that it looks trashy and yes it does make your eyes look smaller.

Here's something you want to do:

Put a small amount of eyeliner on your upper lid. Make it thin! Remember that the key to making make up look good is to make it look as natural as possible. Maybe use a smaller pencil. I would suggest to make your eyeliner go out a little further on the ends of your eyelids. Good luck!

Answer 4

when you pull your eyelid down a little bit to put the eyeliner on the bottom, try putting it on a little lower, not on the eye part,

but where the lashes start. this might help your eyes pop more because your folloing your natural lash line so pple will just think you have nice think lashes=]

also try not to go for such a dark color. it can REALLY close off your eyes and make them see harsh and TINY.

you can make your eyes pop by putting a dab of white eyeliner in the inside corner of your eyes.

not lining your whole eye. trust me i've tried it. it looks weird lol

just on the inside corner and remember to blend so it looks subtle =]

hope i helped!

Answer 5
