Help- everytime i try to put on eyeliner i look like a racoon not a rockstar!?

Answer 1

I wear eyeliner even to the gym, so I hope I can help a little. The raccoon look stems from putting eyeliner on too think as well as on the bottom lid.

I know you can wear eyeliner on the bottom of the eye, but I don't think it looks good and I read that lining the entire eye makes it look smaller, not bigger.

You are probably using a pencil eyeliner from a drug store, and those can work, but if you can't quite get the hang of it I would recommend a eyeliner pen. These are not liquid, but instead a controlled flow from a thin plastic "pen".

Using your first finger, pull the skin on the side of your eye to the side, making you look Asian. Starting in the corner near your nose, draw as close as you can to the lash line. There should be no skin showing in between the eyeliner and the lash line. Come to the very end of the eye and draw upwards just a little bit.

Once you have the lines drawn, use a q-tip or you finger to slightly blend the eyeliner into the eyeshadow or just into the skin so it won't look too harsh.

Colored eyeliners look nice too, black is a little too harsh if you have light coloring, so blue eyes= brown liner, brown eyes=purple liner, and green or gray eyes= dark blue liners.

Answer 2

If your using black, try using a "soft black" pencil instead of just black, it will be less dramatic.
Dark brown eyeliner is also very pretty.
If you use a loose powder after your foundation or alone, make sure to put the powder on your entire eyelid too. This will make your eyeliner stay in place better.
Less is always best, and start at the outside of eye and work your way backwards...you wont need to go too far in to bring out your eyes the best way possible.

Answer 3

usually that means ur making ur eyeline too thick or ur using it with dark eye shadow try going light on your lid then darker in your crease. eye liner is tricky. i prefer to use liquid on top because it gives it more of a defining line and it doesnt come out all thick like pencil. I would try liquid and do a small line across you eye lid. you'll find that you can make your eyes different shapes according to how u put it on. then i use pencil for underneath..

Answer 4

This is because your putting on way to much!!! First don't use balck if you want to look like a rock star ,Use maybe a brown or any other color you feel comfortable with. And try maybe like four stokes on each eye that should get you what want.

Remember less is sometimes tha best!!!

Answer 7

try lighter colors. i recommend using brown tones or white. also don't put on so much eyeliner. black can be too harsh for alot of people. pick a good shade to match with your hair, eye and skin color.

Answer 8

go lighter, less is more. Or buy a nice dark colored eye shadow and use the tip to apply for eye liner. Also using more mascara instead of eye liner brings out your eyes.

Answer 9

Remember, sometimes less is better.
