Me too! I have such a hard time making it look right.

what are panda eyes? i have never heard that before

Err...smoky eyes maybe? I don't know either. But pandas do have black markings on their eyes, so...

Panda eyes usually refers to a very dark grey/flat black eye that smokes out above and below the eye with a total slightly rounded shape. It's a true catwalk look, you rarely see it on the street because it needs the right type of eye to wear it.

Very quick crash course in panda eyes: put a very neutral highlight on the browbone, pref. something with sheen to it like Shroom. Pack the lid with flat black, going from lashline to contour. Go slightly higher than the contour on the inner corner of the eye. Blacken the outer third of the bottom lashline thickly, thinning it off until you reach the inner corner of the eye. Soften the edges of the black slightly, but don't blend it down to grey. Grab a black khol and smudge the top and bottom lashlines until they're really inky black and you can't see any flesh between the lashes. Don't tightline/waterline unless your eyes are quite large. Curl the lashes, gob on loads of mascara and stand back from the mirror - if they look a bit like faintly oval panda markings, you've done it.



To really carry it off without looking super-goth you need flawless sheer foundation, very light blush and completely nude or natrual pink lips. The brows need to be impeccable as well; groomed flat, coloured evenly and plucked into an arch or else the eyes look messy and top-heavy. It's also a hard look to wear if you have round or protruding eyes or dropping lids; the density and shape of the blackness is best suited to Asian or almond eyes.

HTH!

^^ooo i like!!!!! im going to try

thanks lol i do that....so many names i learn on the internet

Intresting looking at the pic of the "Panda Eyes" im deff going to try it

Hyper since you have asian eyes and I have almond-shaped you wanna *try* to do it with me so ppl can see the comparisons on each eye shape? Of course don't expect mine to come out fab like yours! But I'll take a stab at it

Lara should I use a brown neutral e/s (for my brown skin) or something like Jest for the hightlight? I know if I use a brown it'll be more of a "bronzed panda eye" and I wanna do this correctly

I'd love to see an actual pic of how this looks on someone!

this look sounds pretty tempting! I'm going to try it soon...yay now I have an excuse to get more black eyeshadow!!!

This tutorial also might help you achieve that look...

MOST DEF... and hush about the "fab like mines" ur MU application is beautiful and i mean that to the fullest!

this link that you put up is a perfect example!
I love this look... i use it myself alot
lately i have been doing a twist with the same
exact application but using 1 bold color instead of
the black. i.e. my aqualine and waternymph

The key thing is that panda eyes have little or no winging on the outer sides of the eyes. It's almost straight up on the outside eyes, curving in on the crease and rising higher on the inside corner. It's based heavily on 1920's good-time girl eyes, where all the depth of colour was kept on the inside 3rd.

hyperRealGurl posted a face on the FOTD forum that's close, but technically a charcoal eye (her depth of colour is on the outside 3rd and has a lot of winging), but flip the upper lid around and it would be perfect.

(you get asked a lot for panda eyes if you ever start doing a lot of runway make-up, hence noting the difference between charcoal eyes and panda eyes - it's one of those very set-in-stone make-up looks that never changes. )

Man i knew i did it wrong, after i posted the pics up i went back to read this post again and somewhere along the line i missed the whole not lining the waterline part and the tightline part. Gheeez lol oh well i tried

It looked hot, I'm jealous.

I have a model friend coming around this weekend to do some headshots for her portfolio, so I'll do the full-on black panda on her and try to snap a couple of decent shots myself. I just threw out all my old Vogue magazines, they had heaps of catwalk looks including the last round of Chanel panda eyes. D'oh!

awsome.. please post some pics cause i know whatever u do on her will look Beautimus

Panda Eyes

Oooh. That's hot. I love the nail color, too!

Ohhhh so THAT'S how it should look....LOL, I was thinking "I should make this black go further up and more dramatic" but in person it seemed like it was wayyyy past my crease...maybe I'll try it again *correctly* and do a Tut if I have the time

my ex boyfriend told me i look like a panda when i do my makeup like this:





i've done it like the picture before... i'll see if i have any pictures of it... i know that i use the dark soul pigment and black tied.. and rimmel has this really cheap black "eye gloss" that i put over it to make it really shiny... be careful though - it has the tendency to make mascara run if too much is at the lashline.

i use to have the rimmel black eye gloss and everytime id see it in my train case id be baffled as to why i got it haha

so needless to say i threw it out
plus the feeling of gloss on my eyes that just icks me out.


EDIT:
Mac markets these 2 products specifically to recreate the panda eyes look.

Ok, I'll go first...

I would like to request a tut of Britney Spears' look in this photo:

http://vetton.net/walls/music/vetton_ru_285.jpg

I posted a link because the photo is large but you can get a better look at the m/u. It looks like smokey purple eyes, with falsies on top and bottom. Her lip color seems really sheer, like maybe they only used tinted balm or something. I also like her cheeks - they look more contoured than usual...

I have similar coloring to Britney, and I like purples. Here is a (cheesy) pic of me for reference in case someone wants to suggest colors, etc.:



Thanks in advance!!!
