1. Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy and charcoal accent light eyes well, while brown and plum shades flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.
2. Consider the type of look you're after. Pencil eyeliner gives your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision and drama. You can also moisten dark eye shadow and apply it with a small, flat brush.
3. Prepare a cake liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small amount of water to your brush. Or, if you're using a pencil eyeliner, ensure that you've sharpened the pencil adequately.
4. Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow. Hold the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.
5. Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing.
6. Draw a line across the upper lid just above the lashes, from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. If you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye.
7. If you used a brush or a pencil, soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger.
8. Line the lower lids. Moving from the outside edge inward, draw a line on the outer two-thirds of the lid or more, depending on the look you're going for. Your line should be slightly thicker at the outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose. Using your brush or pencil, lightly stroke the area. If using a liquid liner, apply it in one smooth stroke. Apply less color so your eyes don't appear raccoonlike.
Nikki-Marie answered Monday July 31 2006, 5:51 pm: well i use the pencil for the bottom of my eye and all i do is pull donw the bottom of my eyes and apply it on top of my bottom eye lashes and if you want it light dont go over it but if you want it dark go over it a couple of times.
I also use liquid eye liner but i dont use that in the same place as i use the pencil because it stings, i apply it on my eye lids just abouve my eye lashes, if you want to try this here is a pointer, if you want it dark make it a thick line if you want it light make it a thin line and make it as near to your eye lashes as possible for good results , dont worry if you cant get this one right away because it took me ages to get it right lol. hope i could help.

thats what i say to myself while applying
you just gently pull the bottom of your eye down and apply it where the eyelashes come out of your skin.

caramella answered Monday July 31 2006, 4:32 am: There are many ways.If your eyes are small its best to apply it on the bottom of your bottom eyelashes...you just draw your eyes from right to left with a pencil eyeliner(liquid eyeliner messes ur face up if you cry)and if you have big eyes its best to apply eyeliner on the top of your bottom lashes.

PunkieFreak4690 answered Monday July 31 2006, 3:54 am: You simply apply eyeliner by putting it on the bottom of your eye right on top of your bottom eyelashes, where the crease is. If using an eyeliner pencil, just slowly glide it across, so you won't poke your eye out. And take your time. Go through it again if needed.
