Depends. If it's black, then just a thin line (hate the ones that are clearly visible). If it's colored then it can be thick.
At least those are the rules I use. And I ALWAYS get compliments on my make-up. Always. Even boys notice it
if you have done a thick hard line then it may look a bit odd and bare on your top lid
if you have done a very thin line then it may look ok just doing the bottom
i find that it normally looks best if you apply it only to the outside half of the top and bottom lids and smudge it with a cotton bud (on the bottom lid smudge it accross to the inside corner a little)
Its quite hard to get it really clost to the lashes, i find that looking down into a mirror is the best way
but there are no hard and fast rules. play about a bit and see what looks best.
not unless you've put waaay too much on. and smudge it across, not down. it should just look like a soft line. you don't have to smudge it, but it looks a lot less harsh.
Personally I only ever wear eyeliner when I'm going out and to make a statement (dress up the eyes, leave the lips almost nude) and don't wear it day to day.
