Am i using too much eyeliner?

Question

i always wanna get the smokey eye effect but always end up having too much black eyeliner.. see my pic .. any tips ?

Answer 1

it's a little too much, try letting your eyes breath a bit and apply only on the top lid.

Answer 2

How about switching to pencil liner? Use dark brown or grey and for the bottom of the eye, line it only half way from the outer corner in. Use darker colour eyeshadow and smudge it as you applies along the lid. You can also smudge the eyeshadow at the bottom lash line. The smudging will give you a more natural effect.

Happy experimenting!

Answer 3

First, try to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free, then, for natural result, eyeliner doesn't have to come in pencil form. Makeup experts know eyeshadows make some of the best eyeliners, take an eyeliner brush, wet it, then dab wet brush into the dark shadow. This allows for a deep, precise line. You can also use the dark shadows without wetting brush first.

Answer 4

A lot of people have the misunderstanding that smokey eyes equals tons of eyeliner. It is actually very simple to do and only requires little eyeliner.
The best thing to do is to apply a dark eyeshadow from your crease to your lashline. Then apply a thin line below your bottom lashline, start from the outside going in getting thicker to thinner. Next you want to apply a light, shimmery color from your crease to browline and next to your tearduct. Finally add black mascara and black eyeliner on your bottom lid.
Good luck and I hope I helped!

Answer 5

You are probably using the wrong kind and color. I would try Smashbox eyeliner. Also try Grey or brown cream liner. Put on in a thin line then smudge. And a little goes a long way!

Answer 6

Yes that is to much try only lining your eyes from middle of eye to the outer edge and under the lash and the same top I think you wil be happy with the effect.

Answer 7

O.M.G. that is alot of eyeliner in the picture it looked like u were wearing some at the bottom well if u are u should wear lighter colors like gray. Also maybe insted of changing the color u shouldn't wear so much at the bottom.

Answer 8

The right way to do the smokey eye is not putting layer upon layers on, all you need is a little and make sure you blend it well. Here is a step by step, you can tweak it to your preference. Practice, practice, practice.

Answer 9

instead of using black eyeliner use black not too black just like blackish grayish eye shadow and dont put in on the bottom of your eye, just your eye lid dont use to much just put it untill it looks good to you and no heavy eye liner!! just eye shadow and some black mascara

Answer 10

Not really. I use it only on my bottom lid (A Nice Coal Black shade) and that's all. However, when I'm going out (Parties, any night-time activities) I wear it on the top and as you have done. Unlike all the others, I think it looks nice on you. You're pretty too.

Hope I helped. ♥
