Applying eyeliner *from down* doesn't really make sense, as you'd be trying to draw upwards onto your lid.
So, to answer your question more directly:
* Upper lid eyeliner: Usually applied from the inner corner outwards, along the lash line.
* Lower lid eyeliner: Applied along the lash line or the waterline.
Is there a specific technique or application you're thinking of? If you provide more context, I can give you a more tailored answer.
