    i have a lazy eye and can barely see out of my right eye...so go figure how hard it is to do my left eye :rolleyes:

    so yes, small short lines all along your eye if that makes sense.

    just do a fat line then lick a cotton bud and remove the excess - then use a dry one to get the saliva outta your lids cos it'll smudge up

    Or you could wet it with water.

    Eye liner makes me look quite beaten up...lol...bless me, so I go for lighter colours to highlight my eyes as appose to black to emphasise them. :)

    use liquid eyeliner on your upper lash line. make a line along your eyelashes only just touching your eyelid with little dots. when you get more confident draw a line straight off.

    use a kohl pencil for the bottom, but keep it inside your eye. Keep the pencil sharpish and as you use it wipe it with a tissue to stop it getting wet and not coming out very well. make the two lines meet at both ends.

    I tend not to use liquid eyeliner as I find a lot of the time it's too "obvious" and is harder to apply.
    I used to use fcuk's eyeliner, which is not a "pencil" as such , but much softer. It was really good but then I found miss sporty's to have the same affect, but £3 cheaper.
    £2 miss sporty eyeliner all the way!

    always keep a good cream concealer close when you do it, as it will dissolve any slip ups without aggravating your eyes

    A lot of makeup artists recommend that you don't apply eyeliner to the inner rim of your bottom eyelid. According to health people, it can cause eye infections...

    Well I've been applying eyeliner on the inner rim of my bottom eyelid for about 5 years now and I've never had a eye infection. I also know loads of people that do it too and have never had an eye infection.

    I don't put eyeliner under my lower eyelashes. It makes me look like I've got black eyes if I do. Instead, I put eyeliner on the inside of my lower lid.


    Ditto, I've always found that most who do put it on under the eyelashes look like racoons. I always want to give them a wet tissue to help out. I've also found that hardly anybody looks good in black eyeliner. Except for darker skined people. It makes whities look like white trash

    I did develop a cyst type thing on the inside of my lower eyelid, which was probably from eyeliner - I just make sure I sharpen to get rid of the exposed nib frequently
