Eye make up question...?

so i usually put eyeliner on my bottom lid right on the lash line, not below, none at the top (bc i can't seem to get it close enought to my lash line) and mascara. but i want my eyes to have a darker, more outlined look. how can i do this? smudging, where to put eyeliner, etc. thanks!Eye make up question...?
Good question. 1st of all, get a really dark automatic eyeliner by NYC Makeup. A great one is Basic Black. It's sexy and the deepest black there is in this kind. Now to apply - instead of putting in neatly just on the bottom, try going a little bit lower. Push down hard (not hard so it hurts) and rub it in a lot. Dont go over the top like, a goth look. That will just look trashy. To smudge, rub the eyeliner lightly with your finger. This kind of eyeliner will help you put the lines on smoothly, and still look great. For more info go to the website listed..


i hope i helped =]Eye make up question...?
i would say invest in a gel eyeliner (i suggest mac fluidline in blacktrack) and invest in a good eyeliner brush (they come in various sizes and such but the best one is the mac # 231 brush to apply it) and hold the eye taught with the free hand not doing the lining and that way it tightens the skin on the eyelid so it makes for a smoother surface. the brush will allow you to get really close to the lash line, and take tiny strokes at first. when you get to the end of lid in the outer v, take the brush and wing it upwards to the width of your choice. just remember if you make it thicker, you make your eyeliner that width as well. you do not want it too thick though, or it will end up looking really funny.





pencil smudges a lot easier, especially throughout the the day, and gel eyeliner gives you better control than pencil, is easy to use, and gives you precise lines like liquid. and it's a whole hell of a lot easier to use than liquid liner!


just remember practice makes perfect, and it is all about trial and error!





but if you still want to use pencil eyeliner, just make sure you have a pretty good point on it :)





i hope this helps!
Maybelline and other companies make an eye shadow that is on a stick with a soft pointy end. It really works well. Just bought the black and blue.
get a blackish/brownish eye liner and try to put it on neatly. also put eye liner on the top and then smudge it on the lid and it should be all smokey looking
i find it easier to put on eyeliner if you gently pull at the outer corner of your eye, it sort of stretches out your lid so your can apply it better. make sure your pencil is sharp. then line as close as you can to the outline of your eye. if you can't, to smudge your eyeliner with a q-tip. you also may want to add a shadow in a similar color over that to keep your color even.
if you dont put eyeliner on the top, you can always use eyeshadow as a substitute. to get a catlike look, use the eyeliner pencil and draw a flick at the outer corner of your eye.


you can also use mascara to make your lashes look thicker.
