The Effect of Eyeliner on FreshLook Dimensions Contacts

Spicegurl · #1 (**permalink**) 07-09-2008, 02:50 PM

I thought I read somewhere they people actually put eyeliner inside their eyes. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Won't that mess up your contacts? Is there anyone reading this that can comment?

Lollie · #2 (**permalink**) 08-01-2008, 04:35 AM

I do it, Ive always done it...everyday lol. Doesnt do anything to my lenses

you mean inside as in on top of the lashes like on the lil ridge bit aye? lol

Hi Lollie. Thanks for responding to my question.

What I was asking about though, was about actually putting eyeliner inside your eyelids, as in underneath, like between your eyelid and your eyeball.

At least that was the impression that I got. That sounds terribly painful. Why would anyone want to color the inside of their eyelid anyway?

That's kind of a silly question. Why would anyone want to inject dye into their skin or push metal pins through their earlobes, tongues and other places I won't even mention!

Lol!!! Well I think I am lost on the whole eyeliner thing, but I know I "inject" ink into my skin because I love art and other reasons but thats a whole different thread lol.

I wear a lot of 80s eyeliner, so I tend to do that. I think it looks more finished that way.

Oh, and Lollie...

I love art, too.

jhellie_baby · #6 (**permalink**) 02-15-2009, 09:41 PM

i haven't heard like putting it really "inside" the eye, sound painful it is! for me just the natural ways like putting in the lids.

also at the base of the lashes.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I think I've found a way to find the female members of Lens 101, but these days you can never be very sure . . . .

eye liners have nothing to do with lenses .... but be very care full when u do it .. it should not hurt your eyes

Ricardo · #9 (**permalink**) 08-28-2009, 08:49 AM

I think the the choice of corresponding colors of eye liner and lenses would be worth some consideration for fashion reasons, but I've definitely never heard of anyone putting any kind of makeup directly on their eyes.

ya i accept what you say but better we should use moderate eye liner

mpm1999 · #11 (**permalink**) 09-13-2009, 09:40 PM

I suspect what you are talking about is mucosal lining of the eyes, rather than the typical eyeliner. I don't think anyone would put liner on their eyeball directly because it wouldn't stay put. Mucosal lining is done to help make your eyes look bigger and give more pop; I've heard it is a trick that photographers & makeup artists commonly use. It's not hard and doesn't hurt your eyes, and it wouldn't interfere with your contacts. For example on your lower eyelid, it just means you are putting liner above your eyelashes on the tiny ridge rimming your eyes, rather than where it is typically put below the eyelashes (or of course some people do both). Just doing a quick web search, here's a link that shows some examples (thought I don't think this page has anything very complementary!) http://closeupsinc.com/MUCOSALLINER.html

Wow. I went to that link and this "mucosal liner" thing is an actual surgical procedure more like a tattoo than a cosmetic technique you can do at home with just a little instruction.

Yes, but it's just the page that I sent you to since it was referencing permanent eyeliner - just meant to give you an idea of what mucosal liner was. Folks can do the same thing with regular pencil eyeliners.

And yes, there is regular eyeliner and the mucosal lining done as permanent eyeliner, and it is a tatoo. I have had the regular eyeliner recently done but I did not do the mucosal.

Hi Melissa/mpm1999. When you say you "had the regular eyeliner recently done" do you mean permanently implanted eyeliner? I don't know any other way to "have it done." Do you have any pictures you would care to post of your results?

OK, If I can figure out how to post pics, here's what I've got trying on some of the Freshlook samples that I have on my hazel eyes:

Not sure that I'm doing this right - but there is a gray lens compared to my normal hazel eye color, then a closeup of the Sea Green and then the Gemstone Green:

Well, it looks like you got one picture up.

Here's how to attach pictures in Lens 101.

1. Find a picture you want to post.

2. Either save it to your computer, or just keep the page open. I prefer the second option because you probably won't need the picture on your hard drive forever, you just need to borrow it. To do this, right click on the picture and then left click "Copy Image Location"

3. Scroll down a bit and click the button that says "Manage Attachments."

4. You will then see a window pop up with spaces labeled "Upload File From Your Computer" and "Upload File From a URL"

5. If you clicked "Copy Image Location," paste it in the space labeled "Upload File From a URL."

6. Click "Upload." When the image is uploaded, close the window, click "Submit" and admire your handiwork.

Any questions? Let me know.

Nothing to do with lenses? Have you noticed where eye liner goes? On the eyes? Almost touching your contacts. If you put your eyeliner inside your eyes, it will come in contact with your contacts.

When you say "inside" you lower eyelid, do you mean the pink, moist part that actually touches your eyeball? I think we need to agree on what "inside" means.

Is that glittery eye shadow I see mpm1999? I like it.

Spicegurl · #22 (**permalink**) 12-10-2009, 12:45 PM

It looks like you can not only get eyeliner "implanted" on you eyelids, but you can also get "lash enhancement" which I'm guessing is permanent.

#23 (**permalink**) 12-14-2009, 05:07 PM

Wow, I hope that these two pics, are the BEFORE shots -- not the after!

I'm guessing these are the "after" shots, especially the bottom one. Do you see the blue on the underside of the upper eyelid? Honestly it doesn't look all that great to me. This looks better:

Woah. Purple eyebrows. How freaky. The eye shadow looks nice, though. The lipstick, too. The lipstick looks good.

I've actually gotten my eyeliner accidentally on my contact before. it comes off on it's own in a couple blinks. I was really glad the contact was there or I would have poked my eye.

These pictures don't really look all that nice, do they? The blue is so dark it almost looks black. I still think the lady with the blue eye shadow on her eyelids looks better.

I agreem Purpleiris. The blue eyeshadow that looks like it might actually come off does look better than the implanted stuff.

The painted-on purple eyebrows are a little strange, though.

Purpleiris · #30 (**permalink**) 02-24-2010, 02:15 PM

So is there anyone here who likes the permanently implanted eyeliner and mascara? Who here thinks it's a good look?

I did go through a brief period of wearing false eyelashes -- in lieu of mascara -- as (believe it or not) it took less time to put the eyelashes on rather than "mascara them into spider legs".

What I have NEVER UNDERSTOOD, is the Pamela Anderson Eyebrow Look. The one where it looks like you wax off your real eyebrows and then DRAW them on with an eyebrow PENCIL?????? Can someone please explain it to me.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know. . . "to each his own", I suppose.

Funny, I never noticed Pamela Anderson's eyebrows before . . .

I don't know how you did it, catt, but you managed to find an ugly picture of Pamela Anderson.

As for drawing fake eyebrows in, I suppose that's you you can have your eyelashes look exactly the way you want them, without the limitations of actual eyebrows. Many well-known people have done this.

I wear my eyeliner inside the lid also. It is referred to as "the waterline". Lots of people do it. I use either real kohl or a pencil. I usually use black although I have a white eyeliner pencil and I put that on the waterline if I want to look more bright-eyed and less harsh. I have gotten eyeliner on my lenses before without it causing problems. It comes off.

What's "kohl"? Is it pronounced like "coal"? I've heard of it, but never stopped to ask what it is, actually.

Okay, it's black, and it goes around your eyes and makes them "pop" rather dramatically. What is it though? Is it a powder? If someone wanted to buy it, could they just go into a store and say "Excuse me. Could you tell me where the kohl is?" Might they think you want to fire up your locomotive?

Fire up your . . .

Oh, I get it. "Kohl" sounds like "coal," the fuel used for creating steam for locomotives. That's a funny joke, I get it.

Nice train picture Spicegurl.

We still don't know what "kohl" is yet.

Spicegurl · #39 (**permalink**) 08-20-2010, 03:41 PM

See what you started, Lover?

I tried looking up kohl on Google, but all the sites I found there just wanted to sell me some kohl without telling me what it is. Then I looked it up in Wikipedia, and here's what it has to day:

Kohl "is a cosmetic typically made by grinding galena (lead sulfide) and other ingredients. It is used predominantly by women, but also some men and children, in the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa and South Asia to darken the eyelids and as mascara for the eyelashes.

Kohl has been worn traditionally as far back as the Bronze Age (3500 B.C. onward) by the Egyptian queens. It was originally used as protection against eye ailments. There was also a belief that darkening around the eyes would protect one from the harsh rays of the sun. India's oldest caste, the koli, used kohl as a cosmetic. In addition, mothers would apply kohl to their infants' eyes soon after birth. Some did this to "strengthen the child's eyes", and others believed it could prevent the child from being cursed by the evil eye."

There you have it.

I have worn eyeliner on my inner lids, but finds it makes my eyes look smaller. I love how the makeup looks "finished" as someone else said, but now I don't wear it that way. My eyelids have become more saggy with age (almost 40!) so I don't do the inner lids just the outer, as that's meant to make your eyes appear larger.

I feel a photographic demo coming on
