How much is too much eyeliner?

Question

I don't use eyeliner a lot because i think that if i put too much on, i'll look emo or really desperate. Good advice for a novice in the education of make-up and eyeliner?????

Answer 1

you know when you are wearing too much eye liner when you start to look like Avril lavigne.

Answer 2

You should apply a base coat of foundation and powder for the eye make-up. Even if you do not intend to wear the foundation you can apply it to your eyes. While applying the liquid liner you should make sure that the brush used to apply the liner is extremely thin. Because if it is not then you may draw too thick line. And it will also be hard to manage the liquid while putting it on. While applying the liquid liner make sure that you wipe the excess off when you pull the brush out of the tube. You can wipe the access liquid on a clean piece of plastic, as it could be re-loaded on the bush when needed. And thus you can use the extra that was left on the plastic.






You should extend the eyeliner slightly past the corners of your eyes for that cat look.

It is a common belief that if you apply white liner to the inside bottom lid it makes your eyes look brighter. But be sure that it does not make you overload the inside lid. The trick is to make it look as though you do not have any on.

You should always apply the liquid liner after shadow application. And allow it to dry before applying the mascara.
You should use the Liquid liner on top and the pencil liner for the bottom.

If you have dark circles under the eyes you should avoid using dark eyeliner.

When applying the eyeliner make sure that you apply it as close to the lashes as possible. This will help you avoid the white line you sometimes get when liner and lashes do not connect.

If your eyes droop down then you should line them up towards the outer corner of your eye.

If the liner pencil is freshly sharpened then you should soften its tip by gently rolling it across the back of your hand.

While using an eye pencil you should open your mouth slightly. It will help you relax the eye muscles and make lining a lot easier without having to pull or tug at your lid.

You should not put on mounds of eyeliner.

If you do not like the sharpness of your eyeliner then you can soften it with the help of your eye shadow brush by adding a little powder shadow of the similar shade
.
Pencil liners tend to smudge and wear off easier.

Answer 3

Buy brown pencil eyeliner. Lift chin up and look down into mirror
1] Top lid - line along inside of lashline from inner corner of eye [ where lashes start ] to outer corner and end slightly above outer corner of eye [ so eyes won't look droopy ].
2] Bottom lid - line inside lashes from inner corner [ where
lashes start ] to outer corner.
After you get some skill with the pencil, you can try different looks with liquid liner, bright colors, or more 'dramatic' lines

Answer 4

I think it all depends on what color you use and what the occasion is. If it's just for everyday you might want to go lighter and thinner but for night you might change the look. I have green eyes and have never used black or brown eyeliner...just looks terrible on me. I use a dark purple or midnight blue or something like that.

Answer 5

ask a friend of yours, that knows how to do it, to help you. because if you make a mistake, it's hard to remove the eyeliner . when you have seen your friend , and learned from her, try it on your own . you will notice if its too much.

good luck! pliz choose me as best answer (:

Answer 6

Just run the pencil lightly on the inside of your bottom lashes. On your top lashes, it is too much when you can see a visible line. Good luck!

Answer 7

omg there is no such thing as too much eyeliner!! lol u wont really look emo if u dress preppy (gag

Answer 8

I don't advise putting it on the bottom lashes. And just use a fine line on the top right above the lashes if you're blonde. If you're brunette or a darker hair color, you can where it darker.

Answer 9

I was once told that when make up is obvious then it is too much. I agree with that view as make up should be used to emphasise your beauty.
I hope you get it right
I personally don't wear eyeliner as it would distract the attention away from my beard :)

Answer 10

Make it light, but slightly visible. Just becareful, because a lot may cause infection.
