girly makeup question >_>

Please, start out with pencil eyeliner and maybe move onto liquid when you're pro. I use eyeliner 95% of the time I go out. But anyway, basically when applying it to your top eyelid, you pull on it on the side and just smooth it over right above your eyelashes. That's how I do it. Same with your bottom lid.

Since I can't explain things well, here's what I said in english:

For lining the top lid, use your non-dominant hand to pull the skin on the top of your eye taut, and then apply your eyeliner with your dominant hand. It may help to rest your dominant hand against your face as you apply it to help with control and support. It may take you a few attempts to get it right, but practice makes perfect!

For the bottom of you eye, again rest your dominant hand against your face to line, and use your the other hand to help keep the lower lid taut.

Another word of advice is to not do your whole eyelid, maybe 3/4 or 1/2 because you'll end up looking like a raccoon or a star on Laguna Beach. ><

I get Rye to put my make up on for me. She's absolutely fabulous!

You might say that my make up application skills tickle Dan's fancy. I make him pretty for his dates with BoB.

BoB's cheating on Raistlin?!

Dude, I wouldn't go near Raistlin with a twenty foot pole. I only have one current toyboy, and that's mah man Dan. We're male-exclusive. Other past men of mine include Bleys (against his will), Matty, Doomy and Spiffers but I think that about covers it. I'm picky. I wouldn't go out with Raistlin if he were the last 'man' on Earth. *gags*

Punch yourself in the eye - it looks exactly like eyeliner...

But in all seriousness, practice, don't overdo it, basically, everything that's been said. As a male that applies makeup almost every day - and not for the "emo" look, mind you, but for a more personal artistic flair of sorts (I've been wearing it for almost three and a half years consistantly now, and tried it around four or so years prior) - I can say that I found that the most important thing is to practice. Be a fool for a few days, but make sure that you remain a fool within the confines of your estate, otherwise, you're going to feel uncomfortable. Makeup should not do that to you. Quite the opposite in many ways, in fact.

My friends convinced me to wear makeup once, I looked....er...like a whore. I advice not wearing any eyeliner at all if you have light skin and light hair like I do. It's too overpowering. Just remember that eyeliner isn't meant for everybody.

Ooh, looking like a raccoon could be cute..^^

Anyway, thanks, I think I have enough advice now..I'll see how it goes. I think when I get it right on the top it will look a lot better than I currently have it...

Also, I don't think makeup makes you look a whore at all, if done right. Lots of it perhaps, but..yeah I don't like the rest. Don't really agree with putting something all over my skin, like a mask...and stuff on my lips annoys me when I have to drink or eat. I have quite dark hair and eyes... also my eyes are one thing I quite like about myself, and I've always found it makes them look bigger and brighter with something on... (if I have one done and one not you can REALLY notice that).

Although I think sometimes heavy eye make up suits people with really light hair..I guess it depends. I don't know if makeup suits me that much because I don't think I look very girly or "pretty" as such buuut, yeah. It makes me feel a bit more confident doing something with my eyes I think I do have to keep it quite simple and natural though cos it wouldn't go with the rest of my appearance. xD
