QOTD: Do you line your eyes?
I usually wear eyeliner every day usually only my upper lid. In my previous post, I talked about how I don’t tend to line my waterline. Why? Originally I never knew how and then I didn’t think it would look good on me. But I’ve since changed my mind and am trying to do it more often.
I love eyeliner though; I think it completes a look and opens up the eye, making me look more awake and alert.
Over to you, do you line your eyes everyday and if so, where do you line and why? I want to know!
I hope you all have a great weekend. We are going to get our Christmas tree tomorrow at a tree farm. Hopefully it isn’t too cold. Today was insanely cold. Brrrrrr.

Hi dear. Well, I do line my eyes quite often. Lined eyes make me look more awake but I'm having real difficulty in finding the "smudge-proof" eyeliner pencil. I'll sometimes use pencil if I have very little time and most probably they'll turn into a little panda eyes at the end of the day. >_<

I do line my eyes – upper lashlines and usually 1/3-2/3 of the lower waterline. Sometimes I don't bother with the waterline for work but I do like the way it looks lined – make my eyes look more almond shaped

I pretty much line my eyes everyday. I tightline and line my top lashline. I used to line my waterline years ago until I realized it made me look "dead" and closed up my eyes >< So now the main thing for me is tightlining, I really feel that pulls the look together ^^ I am on the quest for a smudge-proof eyeliner, would you have any reccommendations?

I'm a firm believer in eyeliner. I line my eyes everyday but waterline and tightline only at night.

Eyeliner is a must-have for me. Everyday, I use MAC's Graphblack eyeliner in the waterline, and sometimes on the top lid. I love the look of black in the waterline, just intensifies my eye

I used to be really lazy with eyeliner but I've realised that it emphasises my eyes a lot! So I've started wearing eyeliner on the top and bottom.
My favourite for my waterline is UD Zero eye pencil and then MAC Carbon e/s over it to give it extra staying power.
For the top of my lid, I love MAC Blacktrack fluidline <3

I do line my eyes, but I think I'm quite unlike most people in that I actually only line the outer 1/3 of my bottom lashline! LOL. My eyelids are quite uneven… so if I wanted to line them, I'd have to draw a suuuuuper skinny line and one about 2mm thick to get them to look even… and at that point it just looks a bit off anyways. In addition, I do have pretty full lashes, so lining my top lids has never been a huge priority for me. I do always, always always line the outside of my bottom lashline though, in addition to wrapping my outer corner color since it really helps define and round out my eye shape.
Hope you have a great weekend as well! Hope you post pictures of the Christmas tree!!

Hello
I do wear eyeliner often.If I don't have a lot of make eyemakeup,I just smudge a bit of blak/brown pencil on my upper lashline.If I have very basic neutral eye look,I line my waterline with blue,green,purple.Or sometimes,if my eyes look tired,I line my waterline with some beige pencil(MUFE double ended Concelear pencil).
@Janice,try Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencils or MUFE Aqua Eyes.

I always line my bottom water line with black eyeliner, i've done it ever since i started using makeup and i feel like my look isn't complete without it! x

I line my eyes everyday, even when i don't go out ! I line the upper lashline and the waterline, i think it gives more intensity to my eyes.

I used to hate eyeliner on me before but now I cant live w/o lining my upper lashline even with the thinnest line just to make the lashline appear thicker. I also love to line my upper and lower waterline on occasions as it looks so glam

I don't wear make-up everyday, but when I do, I ALWAYS line my eyes. It definitely completes the look. Also, it helps to make your lashes look thicker. Plus, black eyeliner (when done right) is so sleek and sexy!

It all depends on the look, but most of the time I line the top and waterline almost everyday. I have sad kinda eyes, where they look like droopy sad dog eyes, so I def need eyeliner!
Dec 12, 2009 @ 16:47:57
all the time. it looks ten times better, on me atleast
Dec 12, 2009 @ 16:59:21
Yes, every day
I'm so colorless so I just need it. I use MAC Fluidline (gel liner) and beige kajal in the waterline, black can be a bit too much for me, I think?

I just started/learned how to apply eyeliner. I use liquid and I only do it on my upper lid. I always tear up, so my waterline gets no application! But hopefully, I can learn how to do that one too! =)

For me liner is the one thing I put on my eyes if I have no time for anything else and if I have no time for complete lining, I just do the water line. I just bought some Urban Decay 24/7 pencils, they are so soft and great colours. Favourite black is Buried Treasure by MAC, it's a very deep green with a hint of glitter, so goes on like a soft black. Love it.

I also wear eyeliner every day. I use a soft Kohl and smudge it so it's more messy than a clean line, but still, it's there.
I just think it makes eyes more interesting!

I line my lower lid every day –> outer third, including the waterline. When going out at night I will usually line my upper lid as well.
I find the Avon Glimmersticks have good staying power, and don't leave me with raccoon eyes. I have it in a copper brown, and a dark brown. I use the copper in the summer, and the dark brown in the winter.
Anyone have any tips for applying liquid liner, especially to lower lid? My lower lashes seem to get in the way and I can never get a clean line

I also have MAC Fluidline in a dark grey w/silver shimmer (not avail. anymore). If you're looking for something that stays put THIS is the one. It doesn't always stay on the waterline tho.

Such great tips ladies! And thanks for sharing ideas on products that work.
@Gimped – Let's see if anyone has tips with regards to your question. I think the answer is practice practice. But if there is a way, ladies, please let us know! I want to know too.

I ALWAYS like my upper lid. i try to walk out the door without lining my lower water line but i feel like my eyes look incomplete if i dont
Dec 15, 2009 @ 15:18:03
Hi!! What is a tighline??
Dec 16, 2009 @ 08:51:32
I line the eyes almost every time I do my makeup, usually only the upper lash line. Sometimes, just a third or half of the lower lash line.
Dec 27, 2009 @ 15:23:15
I line my upper and lower lids with liquid liner. I've tried lining my waterline before, but it always seems to close off my eyes.
