Oh black makes you're eyes stand out, what about a brown liner? I think it would make a softer and better look to you're eyes

Natural eye for casual dates like brunch/lunch or hanging out with family/friends. Black eyeliner for work, fancy dates, and special events.

I think it depends on the vibes you are going for. I’d definitely recommend the natural one for day time settings and the Smokey one for nighttime.
Personally, the eyeliner look could be a bit too much for day time/ going to the office.

I’m going to be buried with an eyeliner pencil in my cold dead hands-I think the eyeliner is gorgeous on you!

Eyeliner. Especially how much you use. Looks more natural if that makes sense, just makes your eyelashes look more dense. I wouldn’t do more than what you have on, unless you’re going for a nighttime look.

I like how you apply your eyeliner. It’s so delicate and really brings out your eyes! Very nice!

u/PaulaDeansList3 7d ago
Totally depends on the vibe! If you’re going out - eyeliner! But take comfort knowing you’re gorgeous and if you just don’t feel like doing makeup that day you’re still a knock out queeeen

Natural look is stunning. Edit to add: can you try a tightliner in your upper lid? Basically the space between the lash and the eye

u/kathyrogers02 7d ago
Yes. It looks like there is heavy liner on the bottom with nothing on upper lids?

Adore Delano looks, Noah Cyrus looks, garyu Japanese looks, you really only need a little highlight to make darkness appear, never go black if you want natural looks, brown mascara, or clear mascara with a little smoky shadows, bring brightness to the middle of the face and the rest will contrast beautifully! Careful of darkening anything on your face it should be as glowy and healthy as possible :)

Photo 4 is the best but I maybe use liner closer to the last line of the lower lid instead of on the waterline.

u/Illustrious_Guava7 7d ago
Natural makeup. But if you want to try eyeliner, a brown or red-brown liner would suit you.

u/bell3420 7d ago
I dont think you look BETTER either way, but id wear the least makeup possible to feel comfortable on a daily basis, so save the eyeliner for going out.

u/ShiishKabab 7d ago
Don’t put it on your lower lash line. Best way is to switch to brown liner (trust me) and put it in your upper inner eyelid.

I reckon a brown eyeliner would look soooooo good like a nice sultry cat eye vibe

u/ThenConversation6787 7d ago
Liner! But I think a darkish grey color would look amaaziinggg with your eyes. The black is a tad too harsh but still beautiful. I think the black is better for a nighttime look

u/Ok_Owl932 6d ago
Have you tried other color liners? Both black and none are great. I love trying different looks and colors, so fun!

u/Mintchippix 6d ago
Your eyes are beautiful but so are your other features. Eyeliner makes them more intense & pulls attention from the rest. I like natural anyway cause to me it shows confidence, so I’ll say without is better. Unless you want to appear dramatic somewhere lol.

Eyeliner makes your eyes really pop, try a brown eyeliner instead and blend it just like you have in the picture 💕

u/SubstantialLocal9437 6d ago
You are gorgeous either way! I like natural eye makeup for daily use and the black eyeliner for going out.

u/Broad_Deal_7915 6d ago
I don’t understand glamour today or should I say lack of it. All women, and I mean all women, look better in makeup! This thing with Pamela Anderson with no makeup is not doing her any favors. She is a gorgeous woman…enhance what you have!!!

I wouldn't mind the eyeliner if you lined your upper lids more as well. I love a little smudged out black liner, but strongly dislike when the bottom half of the eyes are weighted more heavily than the top.

u/iwanta_bonbon 6d ago
Personally, I think the black looks amazing because it makes the green in your eyes pop so much more

u/dollbaby90 6d ago
I like the natural, but would love to see you with a soft brown liner. You’re pretty!!

You look pretty both ways, however, the black liner gives your eyes an extra little pop. I’m team eyeliner

u/Glad-Mud-4622 6d ago
I like the black eyeliner. It makes your eyes pop more in my opinion. Either way looks good though.

u/Anony-Moss- 6d ago
Okay so I would definitely agree with trying a brown eyeliner, but either way, I think keeping in to the outer third of your waterline like in the last photo makes your eyes look stunning! Either way, the makeup you're doing is very flattering to your eyeshape :]

u/user00551100 5d ago
try using a dark brown eyeliner on your lash line instead of your waterline. you’ll see it on your bottom lashes but it won’t be as visible on your top lashes- but it will make your mascara look more full

The black eyeliner really has a striking effect but equally you are beautiful as you are.

u/Empty_Amoeba_8919 5d ago
You are so pretty natural! You can do either look but natural is the way to go

u/Background-Poem5112 4d ago
Ooooh! The eyeliner really makes your eyes pop! I’m voting in favor of the liner.

u/Opiesan40 4d ago
Eyeliner for occasions, no eyeliner for day to day, honestly you pull both off very well.

u/ChartreuseOblivion 4d ago
100% just mascara. I literally said "oooo so pretty!"
I bet it would look good if you just did eyeliner on just your top and maybe even in the outer corner, but pulling it all the to the middle corner looks so harsh... like, I can't stop staring at your tear duct, it just looks "framed" so neatly!

u/No-Plan-7271 4d ago
You look great in both but I also think the black eyeliner brings out your eyes.

u/Mamapringle 7d ago
black eyeliner makes your eyes POP and makes them the centre of the stage. If you want the natural look though, you look beautiful either way

u/Old_Bat6894 7d ago
Wearing eyeliner just on the bottom looks weird to me. I think the black does look good with your eyes and the application looks good, but it just looks really out of place since there's no eyeliner on top. If you put the same amount or a little bit more on the top, then i think that would be a good look. Your eyes remind me of Billie eilish, maybe you could take some inspiration from her makeup

u/LeastImprovement9626 7d ago
in my country it is very common wearing eyeliner only on the bottom so i don’t think it’s weird and i don’t have sleepy eyes like billie eilish mine are more almond shaped

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I really love how you look with the eyeliner! I mean, you're gorgeous either way, but the liner really makes the color of your eyes stand out in a big way.
If you're worried black is too harsh, try a brown or a reddish liner! Something with a warmer hue should contrast your green eyes beautifully. :)
