Posted April 12, 201015 yr I want to start using eyeliner, but I have small eyes. I've read that black eyeliner can make small eyes even smaller, but I really want to start wearing it. Should I just line my upper lid only?
April 12, 201015 yr I don't have much experience in wearing eyeliner cause I'm too lazy to put it - you have to be so patient and careful- but in my opinion if you have small eyes you should only line your upper lid and that from the middle to the end, not from the beginning, if you understand what I'm trying to say
April 12, 201015 yr I actually meant just the upper eyelid, but maybe a V shape can look good too! try it both ways, but just don't make the line in the lower eyelid too long-make it very short @ lyon: I don't wear makeup that much lyon, but I spent hours with my girlfriends having girltalk
April 13, 201015 yr Author What color should I use if I want to have some fun with my color? I was thinking about a plum shade since it looks good on everyone. What do you think?
May 4, 201015 yr i have big eyes....so i dunno exactly...but i would either use black or blue and just outline the top lid.. or upper lash line.
May 21, 201015 yr brown for me, Just looks more natural on my yellowish asian skin. Maybe you can try brown =D
May 27, 201014 yr To make small eyes look bigger, add a little bit of light shimmer to the inner corners of your eyes, and use a cream colored liner on the water-line, then take the darker liner and apply as usual. I have big eyes, so if I did that I'd look ridiculous, but it does look really nice if you can work the look.
May 28, 201014 yr Author I'm african american, so brown eyeliner disappears into my skin... I bought a black eyeliner and it works well. I just draw a thin line and it brings my eyes out perfectly. I once tried to do Adriana Lima's eye makeup look on my own eyes and it didn't work out so well. I think she uses liquid liner or maybe my eyes are brown and her's are blue? I don't know...
June 28, 201014 yr I like it when a woman wears moderate eyeliner. (but not ie. Gossip girl raccoon eyes)
August 27, 201014 yr I find that pencil eyeliner looks too... smudgy, I guess and liquid is too dark and harsh, it's really tricky. Maybe I should try different brands? I would love to find a very very thin liquid eyeliner. Any suggestions?
September 10, 201014 yr Black eyeliner especially on both the upper and lower rims will make your eyes super small. Wear white eyeliner on your lower rim. White will make your eyes look bigger. Also curling your lashes and wearing mascara will open your eyes and make them look bigger.I find that pencil eyeliner looks too... smudgy, I guess and liquid is too dark and harsh, it's really tricky. Maybe I should try different brands? I would love to find a very very thin liquid eyeliner. Any suggestions?Yeah, try different brands. I really like Almay and Milani eyeliners. Always get the retractable eyeliners and not the eyeliners that look like pencils and you have to sharpen them. Those are harsh and not good.
