Well yes. Your supposed to but it at the bottom lid as well as the top (if you would like to make your eyes bolder). If you like it dark, put it dark. If you don't, that's fine. It really depends on your looks. Try both ways out and see what suits you the best =]

STEP 1: Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy and charcoal accent light eyes well, while brown and plum shades flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.
STEP 2: Consider the type of look you're after. Pencil eyeliner gives your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision and drama. You can also moisten dark eye shadow and apply it with a small, flat brush.
STEP 3: Prepare a cake liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small amount of water to your brush. Or, if you're using a pencil eyeliner, ensure that you've sharpened the pencil adequately.
STEP 4: Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow. Hold the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.
STEP 5: Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing.
STEP 6: Draw a line across the upper lid just above the lashes, from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. If you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye.
STEP 7: If you used a brush or a pencil, soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger.
STEP 8: Line the lower lids. Moving from the outside edge inward, draw a line on the outer two-thirds of the lid or more, depending on the look you're going for. Your line should be slightly thicker at the outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose. Using your brush or pencil, lightly stroke the area. If using a liquid liner, apply it in one smooth stroke. Apply less color so your eyes don't appear raccoonlike.

If your eyes are small its not too good to put dark eyeliner all around the eye. It makes eyes smaller. I have this problem too but I just love putting eyeliner on. If you put eyeliner on put it on top and just a little from tip towards center of bottom. Use the sponge tip to blend it and you can get a smoky look. Then it's not as intense. Your eyes will stand out. You can always use a charcoal color liner or even try to use a dark powder to get a smoky look instead of using liner.

Answer 7

I put it on different ways all the time..sometimes just the bottom..sometimes just the top...a lot of the time both
...the thing is..if you do it too dark, you'll look dumb, so you pretty much put it on how you like it!
