Do professionals put on eyeliner in the inner eyelid?

I look at people at my school where they look like they just woke up or look like goths from putting eyeliner on their lash line on their lower eyelid.(Its a little smudged below.)





But when i look at magazines and photos of celebrities, it seemed that they got their inner eyelids covered with eyeliner, because i can't see the colour of their inner eyelid.


And it looks better like that.

I have huge eyes and i've tried putting eyeliner on my lash line and i end up looking like a goth. Should I try putting it on my inner eyelid instead?Do professionals put on eyeliner in the inner eyelid?
Yes definitely put the liner on the inner eyelid. It looks alot more professional.Do professionals put on eyeliner in the inner eyelid?
In that picture, notice how Rachel is wearing a lot of mascara on the bottom lashes also. Remember, the whole point of eyeliner is to make your eyelashes appear thicker, so don't use black eyeliner without mascara unless you have really dark, thick lashes. And yes, smudging it on the inner part of the lash line can look less ';goth'; but make sure it doesn't run!!!!! AKA. don't cry or else you'll have a serious problem.
What I'd recommend to you is to first, use charcoal rather than black. As you said, it makes some people (most) look Goth) to wear black eye liner.





Remember, as well, magazines get a lot - lot of doctoring. I've worked in make-up and photography...I can make my 52 year old sister look 17 ;-).





To make our big eyes look smaller place the charcoal pencil on the top outer edge of our eyelash. When you make it go towards the inside corner it should be a thicker line on the outside and get thinner starting at the mid-section f the eyelid and tapper off before you get to the corner. Don't-don't allow the color to get to the corner - it will close your eye too much. End just before the corner.





Your lower lash is similar. UNDER ;-) the eyelashes...starting at the outside corner, the line should be thicker towards the outside and tapper toward the inside corner. However, this line should end 3/4 from the inside corner of your eye. The thickest part of this line shouldn't be that thick - but thick enough to tell the outside is thicker than the inside area.





And, finally, don't put eyeliner on the ';ledge';. Its normally not right. The only time I might do that, and have, is if I wear my normal dark liner and for dress, I add a deep blue line on the ledge.





You can also try adding a pale white line above the charcoal line on your top eyelid.line. Just something different to try.





Make-up should not be seen...but your face should be noticed. Enjoy having fun with all the suggestions!
you can if you would like to


the thing about puttin it on the inner eyelid is that it emphesizes your eyes much better!





i have tried puting it at my lash line and it made my eyes look goofy and when i put it on the inner eye rim, it looks so much better!





just dont use liquid eyeliner! thats bad, so stick to the STICK!
Most do put it on the lower rim, but it does depend on what kind of look you're going for. If you get a GLAMOR magazine you'll probably see lots a different eye designs. Some will be lined on the lower lash line, some on the rim.





The one thing you have to be aware of is when you line on the rims, lots of girls get ';eye goobers'; in the corner of the eyes. Looks nasty. So use a good quality eye liner pencil. (Select one that is ophthalmologist tested, sensitivity and allergy tested so you'll have less chance of getting ';eye goobers.'; A couple of my faves are, TIGI (pronounced tee-jee) and BeautiControl, and Mirabella. All great quality at a decent price, but you'll probably have to get them at a salon or spa or order online.





When I line on the lash line, I always use an angled eye brush to lightly smudge and soften the line, and it looks a lot better than when you just line and go. Also, go with a dark brown or dark smokey grey instead of lining with black. Black always adds a harshness to the eye and can make you feel like you're going with the ';goth'; look.





There are so many eye ';looks'; you can go with. Experiment and play with different looks and see what you end up liking the best on you! GLAMOUR has always been a great source as well as some of the other fashion mags come spring and fall to give you a heads up on the trend for that season. Makeup looks change with the season just as clothes do! If you know what techniques work well on you, then you can adapt some of the trends to work with what looks good on you! Hope this helps! Good luck!
On my lower lid I always apply to the inner eyelid but on the upper lid I apply to the lash line. I was shocked to discover that most celebrities also apply all the way to the eye duct!
