The Soloist Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 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?

midnight lady Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyon Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 ^ That's true, I tried it cause I have small eyes (I wonder why you knew that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Soloist Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Do you mean a "V" shape on the outer corners midnight lady? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight lady Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Soloist Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanessa_gxox Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demi91 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 brown for me, Just looks more natural on my yellowish asian skin. Maybe you can try brown =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnaBBarrosFan Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Soloist Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I like it when a woman wears moderate eyeliner. (but not ie. Gossip girl raccoon eyes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamile Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBella Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 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.
