Girls with large eyes shouldn't wear what?

I was just wondering why is this in the WOC section? Not trying to be catty... just wondering if it was a stereotype that darker girls have larger eyes. LOLZ

anyway, like eveyone else said, it's up to you and what look you're going for. I've read that girls with full lips shouldn't wear bright, shimmery, or glossy lip color but that hasn't stopped me!

Every MA that I've ever let touch my face has put black eyeliner right on my waterline, so I dunno what that misinformed comment was all about. Even a Nars MA put in on both lower and up waterlines...

I must admit I was nervous about trying to rim my whole eye, but I did it the other day and got compliments on my eyes all day long. Considering I only had black liner and mascara on my eyes that was a big deal for me.

Yeah, I read that somewhere earlier today. It really doesn't make any sense to me, and to be honest, a lot of so-called makeup tips sound so old fashioned to me. lol

I have big, bright eyes and I usually line my lower lash line. My eyelashes are short, so I think my eyes look like they're missing something if they're not lined. But if you're trying to achieve a certain look, I say go for it!

I couldn't disagree more I think big eyes look BETTER lined as it defines them more, big eyes are so attractive why play them down?

I always thought it was the complete opposite! I mean, think back to the optical illusions you've probably seen as a child. There's a black box, and then a white box next to it. They're the same size, but the black one looks smaller. I think that can be applied to makeup...rimming your eyes with black eyeliner looks more intense, making the eyes look more defined (but a little smaller).

Besides, what's so wrong about large eyes? I would kill for large eyes!

I love wearing liner on my eyes, because my my eyes are really almond shaped, so when flick my liner just so, I look asian. And then I get a lot of confused looks. But still. I don't wear liner on the bottom because I haven't found liner that can stand up to my watery eyes [which means I cant tight line either, which sucks, because it makes my lash bed look fuller]. Either way, black liner kicks ass because it makes your eyes look better, small, big, invisible; it owns all.
