I can see if you have close set eyes, you might want to accentuate the outer half. @Shanus , is that what she was doing?

 

Anyway, I usually avoid the very inner part of the lower lid, but do use a softer shade.

@Shanus  - I line my lower lashes both with pencil or shadow.  Usually all the way across but sometimes will smudge in outer corner.  I feel bad for Rachel during beauty shows so don't watch when she is hosting - it's just not in her comfort zone and that is so obvious. She's good at other things - just not makeup/beauty shows.

Re: NO, NO RACHEL

[ Edited ]

No, I line my whole eye, not halfway..I only line my upper. I think with Rachel, she is not a big makeup person, so she probably doesnt have a ton of experience, like for instance someone like Shawn ,Amy or Courtney.

 

I also think that all of then at one time or another have been guilty of too much makeup applied while hosting, especially mascara and blush/bronzers......After a while your eyelashes look like spider legs, and your complexion looks like mud.....

 

I do love MAC makeup however, especially their lip products....

I've heard many experts over the years say that if you have smaller eyes, not to line the whole lid so maybe that was Rachel's reasoning.

I think @Shanus makes a good point and also that we can do what we think is good for us.  I think the partial lower lash liner looks unfinished on some people.  Just a matter of how I like to see color and lines.  I have big gray/light blue eyes and line/smudge all of my lower lash line.  I recently watched the application video of kajal gel liner on Chanel and the model lined the entire lower lash line.  With some smudging.  

 

I watched the midnight presentation of the tsv and also thought that way too much blush was applied during the demos.  Btw I don't have a problem with how the op stated her post.  She gave her opinion and stated how she likes to do something and asked for others input.

If I use it I apply 1/4 to 1/2 of the way and smudge what I applied all the way.

I like my lower lid in short stokes to the center of my eye.
