Haven't done this in years but considering it as I bought a decent crayon/gel eyeliner but I don't know if anyone does it anymore or if it's not s good look?

KungFuEric · 08/02/2018 13:03

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

Whats a waterline?

Springtrolls · 08/02/2018 13:19

Yes I tightline and waterline

CrypticClues · 08/02/2018 13:28

Yeah, I do it quite a lot, but usually in black.

HildaZelda · 08/02/2018 16:04

Yes, I do my waterline and tightline too, in black.

goose1964 · 08/02/2018 16:11

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

ReinettePompadour · 08/02/2018 16:41

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

MrsJoshDun · 08/02/2018 16:46

Mac do an ok kohl. Yes, do bottom waterline but only outer half.

robertaplumkin · 08/02/2018 17:04

i tightline these days

StarShapedWindow · 08/02/2018 17:07

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

MrsJoshDun · 08/02/2018 17:08

What is tightlining?

CointreauVersial · 08/02/2018 17:11

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

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 08/02/2018 17:16

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

barefoofdoctor · 08/02/2018 17:45

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

neveradullmoment99 · 08/02/2018 17:47

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.

Pistachiois50pmore · 08/02/2018 19:43

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

CarrieBradshawsScrunchie · 08/02/2018 19:49

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

redmarkone · 08/02/2018 20:05

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.

Springtrolls · 08/02/2018 20:18

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.

bebealpha · 08/02/2018 20:33

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.

HLBug · 08/02/2018 21:55

@Springtrolls can I ask what powder you use?

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