Why can't I seem to apply eyeliner so that it looks good?!?

Question

It always ends up looking uneven, or odd, or just ugly. Or there's too much, or too little, or it brings out my undereye circles...

Answer 1

um...i dont know but ill ask my cousin she just loves giving advice in make up and fashion. but she did tell me this, eyeliners are so yesterday. no offence because it could be hard for u and its not in. hope that helps. ill tell u if i get more info!

Answer 2

well i use eyeliner and its great!

If your beginners try the pencil type its easier to wipe and if u get better u can use liquid but be cautious it could smudge and ruin everything!

First you should have a sharp pencil but not to sharp because the eyelid skin is delicate, Close one eye then slowly start and put it on at once dont take too long or too many pauses because it could intimidate u! And you might not know where u left off!!

The most should be put on the middle and less on the sides, thats just what i do but you could put more on the end to create a cat eye look!!

I hope i have helped!! :)

Answer 3

first, use concealer to cover up your undereye circles (over your foundation). Then to apply eye liner, use a powder and a skinny eye linner brush and dip the brush in water and dap it onto a napkin before you apply the eyeliner. Also, just run the brush over your lashes for a natural even look. if needed, wipe excess off with a Q-tip

Answer 4

Maybe because you're not putting on right? you gotta put it on just above your eyelash line and practice makes perfect! be careful to make sure that you put the right amount on and stuff, it takes practice and experimenting to get the amount that works for you. or you could be the kind of person who doesn't look good with eyeliner or doesn't need it in the first place, it's a personal choice. anyway good luck!

Answer 5

it's all about practice, muscle memory etc.

you might be better off using an eye pencil/kohl til you're used to the motions, cos then if it looks odd you can smudge it and pretend you meant to be smoky-eyed all along. Also then, you can practise using eyeliner over the top of the kohl, and it's not as noticeable if it goes awry.

Answer 6

DON'T USE EYELINER. USE BLACK EYESHADOW!!! it goes on more evenly, it can be easily removed. it doesn't give you raccoon eyes. and it gives your eyes a great smokey effect. when you are applying it to your eye lid use a regular eyeshadow applicator with a point, start with a thicker line at the corner of your eye and work toward your nose making the line thinner and stop in the middle of your lid. and for the bottom apply a thin line along your eyelashes, not your eye lid.

Answer 7

Get someone to help you that's experienced. In my opinion it always looks horrible on me anyway, even if someone who knows what they're doing does it. My friend Trisha thinks eyeliner looks awesome on me, but no matter what I do I can't seem to make it to where I think it looks good. So, it might just be your opinion of the way it looks on you period.

Answer 8

Don't even use eyeliner - it looks too severe. Try to smudge it in and you will look much better.

Answer 9

Answer 10

remember, putting eyeliner under your eye makes your eye look bigger and putting it in your eye makes in look smaller try both to see what suits you.
