As a Puerto Rican Italian with a thick lash line… waterliner is my best friend in making me look balanced - I have very long bottom lashes they are just sparse
Just use black eyeshadow but place it where lashes grow out, but only line 2/3 from outer end. Gradually thin it out as you get closer to ending it. Get drama without making eyes appear small. Wet the brush before dipping in shadow.
I’m 61 and I haven’t put a thing on my under eye (concealer) for 20 years now. My niece taught me a several tricks. Once I have my hair and makeup routine done, 45 mins, I can still genuinely pass for early 40. I love how you are so real, to the point and teach. You are appreciated. ☮️🌸🕊
Love love love how you’re teaching about balance when it comes to makeup-all these different techniques are beautiful, but sometimes you need to focus on one technique and makeup the rest of the face to balance that
I know what you are talking about… just a fresh , daily makeup… however, I looove that black line right under my eye… in fact, I was wondering what product/s you’re using to achieve this effect… it never stays like this for me.. yours is so crisp and evenly dark all the way across your eye… thank you 🙏
I remember doing the black eyeliner all the way around in high school😄Then I learned the trick to only line halfway in, to open the eye and make the bottom lashes look thicker/ darker. I taught all 4 of my daughters the same by doing each eye differently side by side so they could see how it closes the eye off.
I think everyone is missing your point… of course you can do whatever look you want! BUT when you only line your waterline it looks harsh and unprofessional. It should be part of a smokey look, not natural eyeshadow and harsh black liner.
First of all you are stunning ❤. Now I’m 52. Back when I was a teenager in the 80s we’d heat up our black eyeliner and put it on exactly like you did 😅. The problem is some women my age still do it
I have gray-green eyes and if I line the waterline it makes my eyes seem clear and see-through. I naturally fell on this technique cause it makes my eyes pop instead of drowning them.
Oh I've been doing this for months!! I have dow eye's and one day I put on a full black liner like she did and it was to harsh on my eye's. and so what I did I put on a light brown lower lash line like she did. but I also like to put a light maroon shade on my inner corner just to make my eye's POP!!!
I learned from a make-up artist to line the bottom from the outside corner to the pupil. He said that the full lower eyelid became popular after the movie Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor came out.
fr i only do the dark liner on inner waterline when i do my makeup for a night out or when i want my eyes to look smaller (because my eyes are round and big)
I used to use the eyeliner pencil and apply it to my top lid line and then just shut my eyes so it can transfer to the bottom. That way it gave a hint of it on the bottom line but not obvious. My eyes are annoyingly sensitive and it was a trick I was taught by a makeup artist. That was back in the day though so I'm sure things changed. 😎👍
I have done both for two different looks , personally I do ,do the brown way more but only because it matches the look I’m going for most of the time but even the first way looks good and I do like and use❤️
"Mistake"? What you call a mistake is my very purposeful action. I have big bug eyes & I like the liner all the way across my lash line/water line specifically bc it closes my eyes a bit. I don't want a light brown dust of shadow to open my eyes even more.
You got that right, for those of us that have smaller eyes and are wanting to make them appear bigger- would benefit from this tip. If you are trying to make your eyes appear smaller then absolutely- keep lining them all the way !!!!
I just found you now Nikki - totally subbing, yes this is what I do! I grew up in the 90s early 00's where black eyeliner tightlining was the look. It's taken me some time to perfect this exact look and it's so pretty. You're so pretty! Happy to be here I'm loving the calm chill vibe 🥂
I’ve been doing this for years and a little white eyeliner in the inner corners. Trust me when I say it gives you a more natural look with the desired effect. Brown is especially good if you have blue or green eyes as it really makes them pop too!
I'm 40yrs and love seeing these young girls figuring out makeup and what works best for them just like I did at their age. Keep sharing the knowledge, the internet is becoming a big sister ❤
I literally have done this for years. It helps the extension of your eye it's like eye contour depending how you do it it can make your eyes look bigger
I think it depends on your eyes and the type of eyeliner you use. Some people have oily skin and everything gets messsd up. Other people look good and have no issues putting eyeliner in their waterline.
This is how I’ve been doing my makeup since middle school and my older sister always acted like it was silly! Personally? I think she looked silly the way she did her eye liner, but I never told her because I didn’t want to make her feel bad
I do this! My eyes tend to look a bit downward turned on my outer corners, so lining the entire bottom line would only accentuate it and make my eyes look even more droopy!
I stopped doing the dark lower lash eyeliner because as you get older it looks to harsh. A subtle brown looks more natural, I feel the same about eye shadows I like to stick with light earth tones colors because it looks healthier and more natural
When I use First Light from Gen See or Mac Paint Pot in Vintage Selection, I use the Girlactick shadow stick in Sateen along my lower lash line, where it shows up bright and pink!
Feels so refreshing when there’s just talking and no crazy dramatic reactions and loud music 😌
Thank you for that feedback!!
Yes omg I'm so over music
100%
right and her voice is really soft too
Yes the dramatic over the top expressions... Just comes across so fake!
my toxic trait is that i like full bottom eye liner 😮
And that’s okay!!
As someone who was born in a family that LOVES to wear kohl/kajal, I don’t know any other way but the classic black liner on the entire waterline.
The full one with black liner gives Penelope Cruz vibes tho 🤩
As a Puerto Rican Italian with a thick lash line… waterliner is my best friend in making me look balanced - I have very long bottom lashes they are just sparse
I LOVE a video without music in the back I can actually hear you without getting distracted
I love my entire bottom lined.. feel more complete. That’s the beauty of makeup. Everyone is unique.
My mom taught me to only go half way on the bottom liner. I avoided the wildly unbalanced raccoon eye phase when I was 14 😂
Just use black eyeshadow but place it where lashes grow out, but only line 2/3 from outer end. Gradually thin it out as you get closer to ending it. Get drama without making eyes appear small. Wet the brush before dipping in shadow.
For me I have dark eyes so I don’t line them because it makes them look smaller… it’s best to just play around and find what works for you
I’m 61 and I haven’t put a thing on my under eye (concealer) for 20 years now. My niece taught me a several tricks. Once I have my hair and makeup routine done, 45 mins, I can still genuinely pass for early 40. I love how you are so real, to the point and teach. You are appreciated. ☮️🌸🕊
I love inner eyeliner but it smudges no matter what i do
I prefer the full waterline, top and bottom, always have. Even yours looks better with the full waterline, in my opinion.
Love love love how you’re teaching about balance when it comes to makeup-all these different techniques are beautiful, but sometimes you need to focus on one technique and makeup the rest of the face to balance that
I know what you are talking about… just a fresh , daily makeup… however, I looove that black line right under my eye… in fact, I was wondering what product/s you’re using to achieve this effect… it never stays like this for me.. yours is so crisp and evenly dark all the way across your eye… thank you 🙏
Love this common mistakes series! Learned more in 5 mins than I have in years!❤
I remember doing the black eyeliner all the way around in high school😄Then I learned the trick to only line halfway in, to open the eye and make the bottom lashes look thicker/ darker. I taught all 4 of my daughters the same by doing each eye differently side by side so they could see how it closes the eye off.
I did it in high school as well! But looking back it made my eyes look TINY!
I like how both look, personally the eyeliner stays longer for me.
They both look great.I love the black on the lower lash line all the way through.
I have very big eyes so actually my eyes look unbalanced if I put even the smallest amount of liner on top without doing the bottom as well
Same.
I’ve always done this, so glad to see it’s getting some attention and love 😂
Yeah, i also tried this. The brown half liner looks so good
I’m so happy you tried this technique out!
I think everyone is missing your point… of course you can do whatever look you want! BUT when you only line your waterline it looks harsh and unprofessional. It should be part of a smokey look, not natural eyeshadow and harsh black liner.
Love this! Have used this trick with only lining half way for a long time - the best!!
been doing this half eyeshadow trick since i was 13!! thanks kpop lol!
Love that!!!!
I love eyeliner inside the waterline
First of all you are stunning ❤. Now I’m 52. Back when I was a teenager in the 80s we’d heat up our black eyeliner and put it on exactly like you did 😅. The problem is some women my age still do it
I have gray-green eyes and if I line the waterline it makes my eyes seem clear and see-through. I naturally fell on this technique cause it makes my eyes pop instead of drowning them.
Ok I'm curious why you brush more than once on the pallet but tap off the extra to only use a little bit. Can't one swipe do?
This reel gave me Ashley Judd vibes! love
I get that ALL THE TIME lol!! Thank you!
Love how you go real close up with the camera so we can see the correct placement. I just love your channel 😍
Great technique! Makes such a big difference and looks more professional.
Gurl! The skin! Perfection! Thanks for the tip!❤
I literally do both depending on the makeup look and my mood on the day
Like the look with the eye shadow at the corner of your eye. Really enhanced your eye!
Thank you!!
My eyes are huge and almond shaped, using eyeliner in the water line makes my eyes look skinner and more detailed as well as make my brown eyes pop.
Thank you for that. I can’t really use pencil eyeliner, later i would look like panda, like someone punch my eyes. Lol.
Reminds me of Asian eye makeup like Korean eyeshadow looks and it’s so pretty!
Oh I've been doing this for months!! I have dow eye's and one day I put on a full black liner like she did and it was to harsh on my eye's. and so what I did I put on a light brown lower lash line like she did. but I also like to put a light maroon shade on my inner corner just to make my eye's POP!!!
Hi Nikki, thank you for the short! Can you please do a short on how you did this eyeliner?
I learned from a make-up artist to line the bottom from the outside corner to the pupil. He said that the full lower eyelid became popular after the movie Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor came out.
Love this tip ! Love your content! You're the BEST!!!
fr i only do the dark liner on inner waterline when i do my makeup for a night out or when i want my eyes to look smaller (because my eyes are round and big)
Love that, and definitely Great for a night out!
I followed instantly cause that was a great tip and I’ve never seen. I’ve always wondered how to line my lower lash line without my eyes looking weird
I love inner liner it’s my go to for every look…I did shadow outside for years though. Inner top lid as well combined with lower is beautiful too.
Thanks for sharing!!
I used to use the eyeliner pencil and apply it to my top lid line and then just shut my eyes so it can transfer to the bottom. That way it gave a hint of it on the bottom line but not obvious. My eyes are annoyingly sensitive and it was a trick I was taught by a makeup artist. That was back in the day though so I'm sure things changed. 😎👍
I personally love the fully lined waterline
I have done both for two different looks , personally I do ,do the brown way more but only because it matches the look I’m going for most of the time but even the first way looks good and I do like and use❤️
this tip is so good!!! Looks so much better than the black eyeliner!
It's the thing I hated the most about early 2000s makeup.
So pretty and very informative! Makes me want to try it, but I know it won't look as good on me. LOL!
I have more mature eyes and I tried your hack and it opened my eyes so much more plus I received so many compliments, thanks so much.
"Mistake"? What you call a mistake is my very purposeful action. I have big bug eyes & I like the liner all the way across my lash line/water line specifically bc it closes my eyes a bit. I don't want a light brown dust of shadow to open my eyes even more.
it makes u look older, harsh and like u haven't left the year 2004
You got that right, for those of us that have smaller eyes and are wanting to make them appear bigger- would benefit from this tip.
If you are trying to make your eyes appear smaller then absolutely- keep lining them all the way !!!!
Great advice, I will definitely be doing this! Thank you
I love this! Takes me back to 2010s tutorials!!!!
I do both! 😂 I put brown or black liner in my waterline and then add more brown or black eye shadow on the lash line and it’s dramatic and I love it!
As a dark skinned girl, no thank u very much, I like my black eyeliner, plus the brown shadow wouldn’t even show on me.
I agree with this method but shadow wears off pretty quickly. How do you make the shadow last.
Love the color of your eyes... Beautiful...
THANK YOU!! Couldn't agree more with this, instant follow ❤️
Wow. This is a great tip. Thank you!❤
You’re so pretty!!
I just found you now Nikki - totally subbing, yes this is what I do! I grew up in the 90s early 00's where black eyeliner tightlining was the look. It's taken me some time to perfect this exact look and it's so pretty. You're so pretty! Happy to be here I'm loving the calm chill vibe 🥂
Ahhh!!! I’m so happy to have you and welcome!!!!!! Thank you so much and yes me too!!
Would never have thought of that....thank you so much
Couldn't get any easier than this. Thanks girlie so muches
What’s the brush your using?
Great advice!!
Thank you. I've been struggling with this.
Nope, I have beautiful large eyes, I don't need them to look anymore open than they are...I love rocking the Black water line.
I do that brown eyeshadow trick, learned how to do it by playing around with my makeup in the mirror. Then I wore it out and got so many compliments.
Love how you talk to us like we are in front of you and you’re being direct. Great video!
I’ve been doing this for years and a little white eyeliner in the inner corners. Trust me when I say it gives you a more natural look with the desired effect. Brown is especially good if you have blue or green eyes as it really makes them pop too!
Omg what foundation are you wearing here? It’s so beautiful!!!
I'm 40yrs and love seeing these young girls figuring out makeup and what works best for them just like I did at their age. Keep sharing the knowledge, the internet is becoming a big sister ❤
What eyeshadow palette was this
Love this look!!
Ma'am, i am brown 🤎 that brown shadow doesn't work on me and actually Kajal compliment us brown skin people alot.
That’s great and I am very familiar with Kajal eyeliner. I’m simply trying to show different techniques to line/ enhance eyes.
I literally have done this for years. It helps the extension of your eye it's like eye contour depending how you do it it can make your eyes look bigger
Yessss!!!! ❤️🙌🏼
I do this on both top and bottom. I never go all the way across, it’s way more flattering and natural.
You could use white, blue, or a green pencil line instead of black. Those colors also brighten the whites of the eye and open the eye up.
I put eye pencil partially in my waterline like half way just to blend it it and connect the eye liner to the rest of the eye
Looks so refreshing,,, new to your channel
I think it depends on your eyes and the type of eyeliner you use. Some people have oily skin and everything gets messsd up. Other people look good and have no issues putting eyeliner in their waterline.
I use a chocolate colored eyeliner for this, didn't realize powders would look smoother.
This is exactly how I do my eyes. The one without the lower lid liner. Just a bit of black on top/dark shadow on outer corner. Done. Looks great
I love both looks for different occasions
Love your brows. How'd you do them?
Well done! You can really see the difference 🎉
This is how I’ve been doing my makeup since middle school and my older sister always acted like it was silly! Personally? I think she looked silly the way she did her eye liner, but I never told her because I didn’t want to make her feel bad
Love it. Will try this!
Let me know how it works for you!
Anyone else get dizzy with the amount of moving of the camera.
I do this! My eyes tend to look a bit downward turned on my outer corners, so lining the entire bottom line would only accentuate it and make my eyes look even more droopy!
I love this! We're not in middle and high school any more, ladies lol! This SCREAMS how we did our makeup in school 😂
Settle down we all did it lol
I always do this, and i love how it looks! I have no idea what I'm doing makeup wise, so this made me really happy to see. 😁
Tried this and loved it!!
Love it! Thank you ❤
You're so welcome!❤️❤️
I stopped doing the dark lower lash eyeliner because as you get older it looks to harsh. A subtle brown looks more natural, I feel the same about eye shadows I like to stick with light earth tones colors because it looks healthier and more natural
How can you do that! You have such stable hands
I literally punched myself in the eye trying to brush my hair from my face.
When I use First Light from Gen See or Mac Paint Pot in Vintage Selection, I use the Girlactick shadow stick in Sateen along my lower lash line, where it shows up bright and pink!
Ooohhhh that sound’s beautiful Susan!!
@@Makeupbynikkilarose I'm no makeup artist, but I do like to look like I made an effort!
Where are you hoops from?! I need!!
