VanityCaseBox: Smokey Eyes Using Eyeliner

I was studying for my exam when I got bored in between and thought of posting some very easy eye makeup in those 30 minutes. Hope you find it useful. Since I run out of time these days in my exams, I would explain you in brief but complete. If you still have any problems, please ask me :)

Make sure to apply concealer and eye base before the other steps.

1. Soft Smokey Eyes Using Eyeliner

I drew a thin line of black eyeliner on my lids but not extending it till the last since I like the illusion of open eyes. After that, I took a Q-tip (Cotton bud) and started to smudge it.

How to smudge it? Start moving it gently on the eyeliner towards outside and when you are reaching at the outer corners, start to move it inside so that the line doesn’t extends outside. And, Tada! You are done. You can see some harsh lines in my third picture because my gel eye liner dried a little along with me taking pictures. You can apply kajal and mascara after it and you are done.

1. Intense smokey eyes using eyeliner

I applied a lot of eyeliner randomly on my eyelids making sure it doesn’t goes above the crease. Start smudging it and after it’s smudged all over the lid, start to move it upwards towards the crease so that a smokey effect is created.

1. Smokey eye with twist

I know there’s no twist but for the lack of the heading in the little time, I named it that :P

In the space left in the inner corner, you can apply any color eyeshadow and then blend it with the existing shade.

1. Smokey eyes using one color

In the second look too, only one color is used. The difference here is that I have extended this smokey eye to the inner corner of my eyes and towards outside too. This should only be adopted by bigger eyes and not by smaller eyes since it gives the illusion of the eyes being smaller. Also, I have used glitter shade here.

Some Tips:

- Be really quick in blending if using gel eyeliner.

- Fill in the inner corner either with a nude shade or a highlighter.

- Apply kajal if you want and apply mascara to complete the look.

- To intensify the look, you can always tightline your eyes.

- Be gentle while smudging.

Take Care!:)
