Pen or sharpie has a different kind of shine on it that I don't like to mix with a paint job. I'm sure it could be done but it stands out too much in my opinion. Also it will probably seep into your pony so if you mke a mistake there is little chance of getting her clean again. May I suggest trying something else? A pin head, a feather tip, pipe cleaner trimmed down, toothpick. I've also seen people use actual makueup, like eyeliner instead because it has a softer look. (can smudge pretty badly though)I know that eyebrow fold can be down right challenging to paint eyelashes over. I'd say vary your approach. If you are trying an upstroke and it just isn't working flip the pony over or turn her around and try to bring the stroke down at a different angle. Make sure your paint isnt the problem if it is globby or needs to be watered down a little. You've gotten some good advice already, I can't wait to see the finished result!
I use a size 18/0 paintbrush for my eyelashes, and I still have thick lines sometimes.It personally helps me to start with a dry paintbrush, then dip it in the paint. I find that a wet paintbrush sheds paint too easily, and can make thicker lines. I also prefer to use downstrokes if I am going over the eyebrow, so holding the pony head upside down really helps.If I mess up, I let it dry and gently scrape the paint away with a sharp xacto blade.If things come out looking too thick, like too many lashes feathered together.. I use just the tip of the xacto blade and gently scrape lines into the lashes.. Like one of those scratch art boards.
