Eyeliner Help

I want to start using eyeliner, but I have small eyes. I've read that black eyeliner can make small eyes even smaller, but I really want to start wearing it. Should I just line my upper lid only?

I don't have much experience in wearing eyeliner cause I'm too lazy to put it - you have to be so patient and careful- but in my opinion if you have small eyes you should only line your upper lid and that from the middle to the end, not from the beginning, if you understand what I'm trying to say

^ That's true, I tried it cause I have small eyes (I wonder why you knew that )

Do you mean a "V" shape on the outer corners midnight lady?

I actually meant just the upper eyelid, but maybe a V shape can look good too! try it both ways, but just don't make the line in the lower eyelid too long-make it very short

@ lyon: I don't wear makeup that much lyon, but I spent hours with my girlfriends having girltalk

^ Oh yeah, you told me you were so busy, got it got it

lol that's in school during a boring lesson

What color should I use if I want to have some fun with my color? I was thinking about a plum shade since it looks good on everyone. What do you think?

navy blue looks good

i have big eyes....so i dunno exactly...but i would either use black or blue and just outline the top lid.. or upper lash line.

brown for me, Just looks more natural on my yellowish asian skin. Maybe you can try brown =D

To make small eyes look bigger, add a little bit of light shimmer to the inner corners of your eyes, and use a cream colored liner on the water-line, then take the darker liner and apply as usual.

I have big eyes, so if I did that I'd look ridiculous, but it does look really nice if you can work the look.

I'm african american, so brown eyeliner disappears into my skin... I bought a black eyeliner and it works well. I just draw a thin line and it brings my eyes out perfectly. I once tried to do Adriana Lima's eye makeup look on my own eyes and it didn't work out so well. I think she uses liquid liner or maybe my eyes are brown and her's are blue? I don't know...

I like it when a woman wears moderate eyeliner. (but not ie. Gossip girl raccoon eyes)

I find that pencil eyeliner looks too... smudgy, I guess and liquid is too dark and harsh, it's really tricky. Maybe I should try different brands? I would love to find a very very thin liquid eyeliner. Any suggestions?

Black eyeliner especially on both the upper and lower rims will make your eyes super small.

Wear white eyeliner on your lower rim. White will make your eyes look bigger. Also curling your lashes and wearing mascara will open your eyes and make them look bigger.

Yeah, try different brands. I really like Almay and Milani eyeliners. Always get the retractable eyeliners and not the eyeliners that look like pencils and you have to sharpen them. Those are harsh and not good.
