Eyeliner questions :)

[KrazyPhish]

Hey

Do you think that people with darker eyes (hazel, brown) and dark eye lashes natural, should wear the same amount of eyeliner as some one who has light coloured eyes (blue, green, grey)?
I have hazel eyes, I like eyeliner and I wear quite a bit of it -my mum thinks I over do it, but at the same time she thinks my friend who has blue eyes looks nice when here eyes are lined as heavily as mine :S

Another question: Personally, when you apply eyeliner where do put it? just on the upper lid? only on the lower lid? both lids? etc, etc...

I've seen many girls with light eyes and very dark eyes wearing the same amount of eyeliner, even more or less. Never did i think it was over done or bad looking. Eyeliner with light eyes enchances the eyecolor, as it may seem, and make your eyes 'pop'. Eyeliner around dark eyes defines the eye shape and looks pretty.

You may do what you like, put it on your lid and lower lid (as i do) or just do either way. I have friends who only put it on their top lid, and some who only apply liner on the bottom. However, i swing both ways at times, lols.

Also keep in mind that you dont always have to use a 'black' liner. Play around with other colors. I noticed that using a navy blue eyeliner makes my dark brown eyes look hazelish. Play around.

I have brown/green eyes and I always wear black liner. I think it looks great IMO. Obviously, it will look darker on you because you don't have the light eyes to contrast it.

My personal preference is the upper lid only. Adding eyeliner to the top and bottom lids will actually make your eyes look smaller.

i have blue eyes (but black hair) and i wear ALOT of black eyeliner

 

[elenas_flickaby]

most of the time i only wear it on the bottom lid, the upper lid is too much of a kerfuffle for me....i always stab myself in the eye!

Aw, lol dont stab yourself. Mabe you'll be better off with an liquid eyeliner?

 

[starinhiseyes]

I lovvve my eyeliner, i have light eyes so it helps bring them out, but yeah, i say wear eyeliner the way that you think looks best, eg, if you think that you look better with it heavier than do that and visa-versa! I love my eyeliner on the bottom and just slightly on the top.

I only wear it on the top, I think it makes the eyes look bigger that way.

Where do you girls apply it? Along the inner rim(s) or the outer rim(s)? Because I find the it just wears off the inner rims quickly (and it's not very good for your eyes) but I can't seem to apply it properly along the bottom outer rim.

 

[Niamh]

Oh and what colour looks best with blue eyes?

 

[Stacey]

I apply it on the outside - but I have trouble with it too. I heard liquid eyeliner's easier to apply... but it doesn't seem easier to apply so I've been very hesitant to try it! lol for like 4 years how! One day...

And a brown would look great with blue eyes right...? lol


This isn't necessarily the most informative thing in the world but it has a pick of the colours of eyeshadows and pencil that would make blue eyes pop! Hope this helps

Hmm... I might look around for that. Thankies!

Almay has color cordinated eyeshadow, eyeliners, and mascara. It's made to match with the color of your eyes. Almay is pretty afordable. I suggest trying that. I don't like putting eyeliner underneath my eyes. I think it makes me look like a raccoon.

heh...i wear a lot of eyeliner, usually black or very dark purple...all the way round my eyes...i'm the goth of the gang

 

[dannii_uk]

I find Purple is great for my blue eyes, it makes them really blue

I put it mainly on my top lid and then lightly in the outer corner of the botom, make my eyes really stand out

 

[Wisdomworship]

With my very dark brown eyes I wear alot of black eyeliner, I puy on the outside of my uper and lower lid. I put it on heavy on the top to kinda look like a dark eye shadow. This gives me a more mysterius and smoky look.

I don't wear eyeliner at the moment..Liquid makes me look funny and the pencil dosn't work for me..

 

[armadillan]

black eyeliner can always seem quite harsh if you wear to much...
i used to wear brown, but realised...cuz i have hazel eyes, it didnt really make that much of a difference, so moved on 2 black.
Black eyeliner can reallly look pretty niftyfied with blue eyes, contrast goes really well... especially if ya have dark hair...not dark dark...but ya know, not light.
Ohh and i apply it to bottom lid...i applied it 2 top lid and its never come off =S how weird eh!?
xx.x.xx

 

[Stacey]

Oo I got some liquid eyeliner the other day and it's definately a lot easier to apply, if nothing else

Maybe you can try a softer colour - like brown? I use a raison/plum colour because it's supposed to look good against green eyes - a brown'll look good like blue eyes etc.
