Should I use a liner under lower lashes?

Eyeliner

By using a line under the lower lashes gives the illusion of making the eyes appear larger. Instead of using a pencil, try using a small makeup brush with a dark eyeshadow. Apply into the lashes to make the lashes appear darker. Below this line apply a highlighter eyeshadow (in white, beige or yellow) in a fine line with a cleansed small brush. This will brighten the eye area.

don't line the eyeliner on the inside, but UNDERNEATH the lower lashes. Also, don't line all the way across. Only to from the out side and to about half-way in.

I'm also confused. Is the highlighter eyeshadow applied to the top lashes along the same line where the darker eyeshadow was applied?

Don't put white concealer under the eyes, even if you're putting it in a "fine line." This will look artificial and overdone. The point is to accentuate your eyes, not make everyone notice all the makeup you have on.

so....does eyeliner under the eye make your eyes look smaller or bigger? i have heard elsewhere that it makes them bigger, but the tips contradict themselves.
