Top one I do, occasionally the outer corner of the lower line/as far in as the centre of my pupil.

Reinstate, I'm not sure either. I think it may be the flat surface on the top and bottom eyelids. Where we used to put kohl

Where we used to put kohl oh, I used to do that years ago but you cant get good kohl anymore so its not worth doing. Blush

I do waterline and top when going out in the evening but it looks too much in the daytime.

What is tightlining?

Not since I was about 14, and the eyeliner was bright blue.

Tightlining is where you put pencil very close to your lash line, so the pencil is practically in your lashes so it makes them look thicker

Thought oh hell now I need to worry whether or not my waterline shapes up Grin as you were...

I have started to do this from my pupil to the corner. It brings my eyes out. I still put liner under my lash and on the top. I think it enhances my eyes tbh. Stopped doing it but started recently. The trick is not to line it all the way to the inner eye or it makes the eyes look small.

It makes me look evil. I like it on some people but not me.

No. I look like a deranged Cleopatra/Baby Jane when I do mine.

yes, i line my waterline and have done for years because i have huge round eyes that need "closing in" to look smaller and also elongated with a flick. try it.

For the waterline I use a powder that has a little stick. It stays put. Even slept with it on and it hasn't moved.

I look a bit cheap when I do it all the way along he bottom. 1990's chick in a bad way...... much better with eyeshadow.

@Springtrolls can I ask what powder you use?

I do line my full waterline, but never with black - only grey, brown or purple.
