hey angels ,mind to give some tips on how to make up since i have monolid eyes .it is really hard .i recently bought maybelline color tattoo ( audacious asphalt ) but ppl say my eyes looks like bruised somehow .then i bought another light pink eyeshadow from elite .ppl say i looks good .but i want more variety with my make up ( monochrome preferable )

ps : i want to enhance my beauty not to alter my face .tq

there are many types of monolidders, it depends on how you look. usually i use thicker eyeliner with light eyeshadow. i dont often use those fancy tri-coloured shadows. there are still plenty of ways to enjoy make up eyeshadows though, i advice you to check on youtube

but it seems that i draw thicker also no effect

Means you draw not thick enough.

ok i googled the eyeshadow, those kind of grey colour memang very difficult to pull off without looking like you have blue black. i usually put those kind of "naked" colours (black, grey, brown) on top of my eyeliner to further extend the shadows, so that the eyeliner legitly looks nicer and extended. after all a super thick eyeliner is too glaring sometimes. another style for everyday look is a reasonably thick eyeliner (i like to use pencil coz it looks less glaring when drawn super thick) with a good coloured base eyeshadow like what your friends praised you with, but you can change to either white, gold, peach, shimmery silver also. dont use green, blue, other non-naked colours unless you have a special function.

if youre bored, dabble with other eyeliner colour in replace of black, such as brown, dark blue, dark purple. it's a cool style to vary your look

Style 1 that I use with eyeliner + dark shadows extension: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kRtu3QFUkWc/TNjn...cantnobody4.jpg

Style 2 that your friends currently compliment you with? just eyeliner with white eyeshadow, inspired by Joo Hoo Rin from My Girl K Drama: http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac127/j...asJooYooRin.jpg

If your monolids are the kind where your eyeliner completely "disappears" when you open your eyes, consider:

Winging it out of your lids: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5s69SPL6e2M/mqdefault.jpg

use eyeliner at bottom of eyes: http://37.media.tumblr.com/d00d938d5613a03...1obk0o1_500.jpg OR http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/f9/...438e8afd42d.jpg for formal occasions

there are still many more ways to enjoy monolidded style but you'll eventually experiment and discover them yourself. note that some colours will particularly suit you more than others. i think i look good in pink, purple, or white eyeshadow, totally want a Naked 3 palette (i like playing with eyeshadows)

i no close eyes one .....i no buy eyeliner .the pic 's make up ,ppl draw for me one

Looks like no eyeliner but got eye shadow only.

What eyeliner are you using now? I find liquid and gel liner works best for monolids.

i no buy o ..........but gel and pencil dont work for me

What do you mean don't work for you?

Pencil usually will smudge.

means cant see lor

yea ,it smudge .looks like smokey eyes

Draw thicker lorrr. Buy liquid eyeliner and draw thicker. And draw winged ones. It'll help bring out the eyes.

looks so nice

Pretty sure you can draw like that too. Practice makes perfect. Get a cheap liquid liner and test it out first.

wht brand eh

Depends on your budget. Elianto ones are affordable and not bad. Maybelline also not bad. Doesn't smudge on my eyelids.

I'm still looking for one that can go swimming with and doesn't come off.

rm 25 ? got ?

Elianto retractable pencil eyeliner is the best pencil eyeliner I have ever used. It's so easy to make a nice, thick eye-liner without looking too comical (I think thick eyeliner by using liquid is too... glaring). It's always a must-have in my make up bag when I travel because I only take less than 5 seconds lol unlike liquid where one slight hand movement will disastrously affect your liner results. I only use other pencils when I put false lashes because pencils have many different type of nice colours, and liquid will take some time to dry (I'm so lazy to wait even if it's 5 seconds of closing my eyes).

For the under-eye style, your eyes will look bigger when you open them wide only, and try not to put too heavy on the top otherwise you'll look like you're drawing a spectacles frame. Also, since undereyes are more subtle, use a black eyeshadow to start. ALWAYS apply a base or primer before you put anything on.

Anyway, there's no right or wrong on what type of eyeliners you like. I buy every type because they all serve different functions haha. Just my two cents that liquid liner is the most dark and dramatic, so you need to be very precise
