Eyeliner is probably the most misused and over used makeup product! The reason it was designed was for women to enhance the thickness and length of their lashes. Of course there are now other reasons, smokey eye, cat eye, egyptian eye; all techniques that should be avoided unless your a makeup artist or you have spent a lot of time practicing and have been shown correctly.
Classic eyeliner is a thin line, sometimes increasing in thickness (slightly), from the inner side of your lid to the outer. It is a very simple technique most women should play up daily for a beautiful eye opening experience.
The type of product used is simply a matter of preference and longevity. Pencil and kohl liners will give you a simple everyday look that can be dramatic or not so. They can be smudged for a smokey eye, or sharpened for an egyptian eye. (To increase the longevity of pencil liner apply the same color eye shadow over the line with an angled brush to "set" the liner. Gel and liquid liners were made mostly for women who wanted a more dramatic look that last ALL day. This product will not wash off easy and most are water proof. The problem is that liquids and gels are more difficult to use and take lots of practice.
As for lining you bottom lash line... This can be done in order to open up the eye. This should only be done on women under 35. The reason is women over 35 (sometimes 40) will start to notice signs of aging; applying a dark liner under your eyes will only enhance the dark circles, sometimes the liner will bleed into the wrinkles, and just overall the liner will attract attention to that area. Instead, if you MUST, apply a fine application on the outer third of your bottom lash, this will pull the attention out!
I hope this tip has given some of you an "eye" opening experience.
