Easy Smokey Eyes using Eyeliner

Holaz all!

This tutorial has been pending since.. ummmmmm..hmmmm.. I don’t even remember for how long! With office timings, it is difficult taking pictures in daylight with only Sunday in hand and then, there are so many other things to do on that day too! Plus, if sunlight doesn’t come in my balcony on Sunday, it gets all the more frustrating. Okay! Enough of rambling now! But seriously, how time flies! o_O Okay! Let’s get to the tutorial!

You need only three things for this:
–        Black eyeliner/kohl
–        White eyeliner/kohl (optional)
–        Stiff Smudger brush/cotton bud


1.      Apply an eyeshadow primer (to prevent creasing) and then, powder your eye lids.
2.      Apply eyeliner like you usually do. It’s okay if it is not a neat line. I have left the space at inner and outer corner because through smudging, I’ll take the line outside.
3.      Take a stiff smudger brush and start smudging the line. Your brush should only touch the edges of the line else you will lose the intensity and you may end up with panda eyes. Only for taking the line to the outside corner, I touch the line and drag it outside.
4.      Apply white eyeliner on the inner eyes. I have small eyes and it makes my eyes look bigger. You can also apply it at the end.
5.      Apply black kohl/eyeliner on your waterline. I didn’t go all the way in since my small eyes would look smaller. Make it more intense on the outside.
6.       Take the smudger brush again and start smudging, concentrating on going thicker at the outer corner.
7.      Apply mascara and done! (I didn’t)
Important:
–        The kohl/eyeliner should be very soft in texture so that it blends easily. You don’t want dragging around your sensitive eye area.
–        Don’t go near the roots of your eye lashes.
–        Apply loose powder below your lower lashline to avoid creasing.

Yeah!

I hope I explained well. I also tight-lined my eyes but forgot to show that step. For extra intensity, you can also dab on black eyeshadow on your waterline.

  1. You not only explained well, but explained better than anybody else. I wasn't very good at smudging the liners, until I realized that I should blend only the edges. I wish you did the post a bit sooner and saved me from all that pain. But for people who still have not learnt their lessons, I should direct them here.

    I loved your tip of not applying the kohl on the lashline. I am going to try it out. I detest it when I have to tug so hard to remove the last traces of make.

    You have done such a beautiful look and my! And it looks like you are someone from a glossy magazine.

    Loved this post! ( I guess you have already figured it out. 😛 )
