How do i apply eyeliner if i have single eyelids?

i dont use makeup but i use it for formal events but i dont really know how to..(my friends usually help me with it)How do i apply eyeliner if i have single eyelids?
For Asian Eyes--I got this from the Bobbi Brown website





Next, apply a base Eye Shadow from lash to brow, with the Eye Shader Brush. I recommend Bone for Asian women. Then apply a medium shade such as Sable, Toast, Vanilla, or Shell Eye Shadow or Beige Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow to the lower lid, from the lashline to the crease, using the Eye Shadow Brush.





Line the eye along the lashline with Eye Shadow in a darker shade like Mahogany, Rich Brown, Charcoal, or Smoke, using the Eye Liner Brush. I recommend finishing with 3 coats of Everything Mascara in Black, since Asian lashes are often sparse. For a more dramatic look, try Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara in Smoke. If your lashes are extremely thin, apply a smoky powder liner with the Eye Liner Brush to create the appearance of thick lashes.How do i apply eyeliner if i have single eyelids?
you can apply light colour eye shadow ( pink,light blue or light green colour ) then apply eyeliner make like a cat eyes...its so sexy.
I'm Chinese also, and I didn't have double eyelids until I finished Uni - not because I had them done, but because they were there all the time but didn't develop properly. So not only do I have single eyelids, I now have one eye which looks like I have double eyelids, and one which only has it about 50%.





This makes it very tricky, and it's about balance. I learned, when trying to do eyes with single lids, that it's very, very fake if you try to draw a line to simulate a crease. I wouldn't go with that fake strips, or glue either.





The key is blending, either with your fingers, with eyeshadow brushes, or both. I find that it's best if you start with a stiff, small brush to put a darker eyeshadow - such as dark brown, or deep plum, or even black or grey - close to the lash line. Follow the countours of your eye, but you don't need to line all the way in.





- now it may look like I'm going on needlessly about applying eyeshadow when your question is eyeliner, but it's because when your eyes are single-lidded, it's much nicer to see smooth gradation of colour rather than bam! Eyeliner! Bam! Eyeshadow... in great makeup application, this should be seamless unless you want to highlight liner...





...


Then, using a medium shade (i find using deeper/lighter shades of the same colour more flattering for single eyelids) go over that lined area from the outside of the eye and slightly upwards as you move toward the centre.





I wouldn't recommend putting a highlighter colour (lightest shade) near the brow bone unless there's very little space between under your eyebrow and your eye because it's a bit weird looking.





Blend the colours together with your finger or brush - if you want stronger liner, blend upwards from a bit above the lashline (you don't want to lose the darkest part near the lash) into the medium colour. If you want less strong, blend downwards from the highlighter/medium shade down into the lashline.





Lastly, mascara really helps open up the eyes, even if the lashes are short.. more on that later if you like :)





Hope this helps!
I don't get it
no problem go ahead . but it is better to avoit cosmatic.
Buy a stiff bristled eyeliner brush and use eyeshadow. You can use black or any color you like. Moisten the brush for darker color and just press the brush very close to your lashes. Much easier then liner. That's how I do it. It also stays on way longer.

i get what you're saying =)


well, you can still apply stuff like creased eyelids. just don't over do it.


i would try doing a dark plum color liner on the top. when applying, you should try to smugde it into your eyelash line, and then smudge it upward so it isn't as harsh. then you can apply a light, iridescent color against your lasline too. then top off with two coats of black mascara and you're good to go!!


good luck!
I have the same problem.





Buy a high quality eyeshadow and eyeshadow brush. The little sponge ones that come with the eyeshadow are horrible for asian eyes. Using the eyeshadow brush, brush from the outside of your eyes and toward the inside of your eyes. Go along and above the natural crease of your eye - using the brush, keep blending and going slowly. It may take you awhile to get it right but keep practicing. Just remember to blend upwards, just slightly above your natural crease.





With eyeliner, I usually draw the line right along the natural crease and color in downwards all the way to the lashline. If you draw it right along the natural crease, people will be able to see it. Sometimes, I draw a little higher at the outside corners of the eyes.
