Answer 1

your probably putting on wayy to much. or black is too dark.

but i read in a magazine that its best if you DONT put eyeliner on your bottom eyelid because it makes them look smaller no matter what.

but if you must, then use brown.

i prefer top eyelid though.

Answer 2

try to pencil the outa line of your eyes, rather than

the inner part, this should make your eyes appear bigger.

Answer 3

dont line the bottom part of yr eyes on the inside if you just use the liner under your bottom eye lashes they will look bigger  

Answer 4

maybe black is too dark and too intense for you

try using a brown or even a grey

Answer 5

Apply white eyeliner to the bottom & top on the inside to open your eyes

Answer 6

Black is probably too dramatic. Swap your balck for a dark brown or a dark purple or maybe even a dark green.

Then line your waterline with white eyeliner (for £1 from primark you can get the best eyeliner - you gat a black, a white and a pencil sharpener, and the eyeliner is very soft) , this will make your eyes look bigger and brighter, then use the darker eyeliner on your lash liner only.

Also apply highlighter to the inner corners of your eyes by using your fingers to dab.

Answer 7

I am 12 and I love make-up but my mom is strict about only wearing eyeliner on the top. For me on the top makes my eyes look squinty and the bottom when i put it on (when im not supposed to) it makes me look better but i would suggest putting it on the line closest to your eye that way it makes you look pretty but yet not a make-up freak.

Answer 8

use a lighter shade. And use eyeshadow for the bottom eyelid.. if u want. Rather than eyeliner.

Answer 9

often if you put eyeliner on the bottom right into the corners (next to your nose), it can make your eyes look small and squinty, and only works on people with quite big eyes. i only put it across halfway, to where the lashes end.

i hope that makes sense!
