Question

also- how should i apply it? should i line my entire eye or not? thanks.

Answer 1

pencil. DEFINITLEY! liquid eyeliner gave this girl's mom in my school cancer and she died from it!

Answer 2

No liquid then. That's quite a dramatic look, and is harsh, but is very intense and beautiful.

Try getting a pencil, I suggest Bonne Bell, Maybelline, NYC or Physicians Formula (they tend to smudge a bit though, because it's not a waterproof liquid liner)

Get a dark emerald green line to really pop against your brown eyes and hair, or go natural with a dark brown. Or you can try a really deep dark purple, that's gorgeous.

Also, just line your upper eyelid by your lash, rather than your entire eye because that's a harsh look and hard to maintain during the day at school. It's more natural just to line your top eyelid by the lashes, instead of the entire eye (which closes it up and makes it look smaller)

If you wear mascara, do it.. :)

Answer 3

I like Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel eyeliner.

It's a little more dramatic than pencil but not as harsh as liquid.

It comes in a little pot but lasts a really long time and has staying power on the eyes.

As for lining the bottom, I would not do it and if you did, use shadow to line it and smudge it so it looks soft, not thin and harsh.

Answer 4

Liquid is better for dramatic things, so try using a pencil in a medium to dark brown color.

Answer 5

I think black pencil would look good. I constantly change because I love both, but for school pencil's the best choice. Mine's Clinique's Black Diamond, it's a little shiny.
You have to apply it on top, but be careful it's hard to apply when you're beginning. And then line the bottom, inside the eyes. It's a little hard to explain, ask your mother or a woman with experience with that kind of thing to show you.

Answer 6

Well I would recommend only using pencil eyeliner because you are young. And you also said you don't want a dramatic look. Just little pencil will be okay to make your eyes beautiful. You can either chose dark brown or black.

Answer 7

if you have a steady hand then grab a liquid eyeliner but you need time.if not then use a kohl pencil in black and just line the top lashline stopping at the end of your lashes.smudge it a little with a cotton bud or some pencils have a smudger and apply mascara.it will give you that doe eyed sixites sienna miller,twiggy look.dark purple also looks great on brown eyes.rimmel,bobbi brown,jemma kidd,and loreal all do good ones

Answer 8

I use black liquid eyeliner from the brand NYC. but a lot of people have trouble drawing thin lines with liquid eyeliner and go for pencil. Since you have brown eyes, light purple eyeliner would look good, but since its just for school go with black.

Answer 9

i individually love liquid eyeliner for me its extra trouble-free to coach than pencil eyeliner i constantly discovered that no longer ordinary to coach and that i've got brown eyes and that i take advantage of black eyeliner yet you're you able to apply different colorings like brown pink blue any ones you prefer

Answer 10

i use a MAC pencil eyeliner. only get the liquid if you have a steady hand because it's hard to apply. and dont get a really dark color. stick to the lighter ones if you have brown eyes.

Answer 11

im the exact same as you exept off a year i use black pencil eyeliner , liquid is very messy and gets in ur eyes easily, brown eye liner could work for you to. mayboline or covergirl is best! hope this helps<3
