I use this I find hard pencils to be hard to put on, and I like the smudger thing on the end, helps when I make mistakes (often )
And on a personal taste note, when it comes to colors, blue looks 80's and black looks tacky and trashy on white people.
i think you could do with a bit of mascara on the bottom lashes.
Didn't realise you were not supposed to do it?

What about applying eyeliner in the rim of the eye? There are many reasons why this is not a good idea. The first is that this kind of application smears in a very short period of time and creates goopy dark specks in the eye. Applying any makeup that is destined to smear in less than an hour or two is not a good idea. Pencil applied along the rim of the eye usually causes the area to become irritated; after all you are putting a foreign substance next to the mucous membrane of your eye. I am equally concerned about the health of the eye area when this technique is used. While there are no studies indicating there are any risks associated with pencil being applied to the rim of the eye, it seems problematic to put cosmetic ingredients (that include coloring agents and preservatives) that close to the eye.

Warnings:
Lining the inside of the lower lid is not recommended'it may cause eye infections, and it greatly increases the risk of getting makeup in your eye.

I'd never actually seen anybody wear it on the insde until recently so the thought never crossed my mind, but if you just think about it, its make up, which if its been used more than once is not all that hygenic, in a very sensitive area. Like an unwashed contact.
Not to mentio your tear duct is right there, thats a pussy accident waiting to happen.
But each to their own, I'm just bored so I felt like looking stuff up Ignore my ramblyness.
It probably isn't the most hygenic thing, but it's not good for you to be too clean. That's why people have allergies
In the picture I can't even see where you've put it, which is a good sign. Subtle is always better if you're not sure what you're really doing!
Eye mascara.
Fake lashes.
Ok... but
I asked how does it look gothic? Not what about them are fake.
Anyone I've encountered who wear thick eyeliner on the outside is all gothic and such.
I agree. I put it on the inside. Used to put it on the outside and ended up looking like a skanked up goff who didn't know how to apply it properly. Now I just look like a skanked up normal person who can apply it nearly properly.
Ah yeah, I have an Urban Decay one
We were taught as well to put it on the inside if thats the look we wanted, instead of the outside, but you are actually supposed to sharpen your eyeliner after every use on your eye (e.g use it on one eye, sharpen it, use it on the othe reye, sharpen it, put away for next time) because that removes any risk of infection. I know very few people who actually do that though
on a normal day i apply my eyeliner very subtly and i put it around the outside but as close to the eyelashes as i can get. when i'm going out i put it on the inside.
Yeah same here, the only annoying thing about putting it on the inside is the way it all slides to the corner of your eye and you have to keep re-applying it.
I think it looks awful when people JUST apply it to the inside though, like a really harsh line. You should always keep sort of where the lashes come out.

I find pencil a bit tricky, obviously I can apply it but i have to blunt the end so it actually turns out nice.
