EYES
Eyelining is back with a vengeance. One of the coolest looks is a lined eye with just the right amount of smudging. Adjust your sensuality with the amount of darkness and smudged width. Regardless, a thorough smudging will leave your eyes looik more defined and crsip. It is a winning trend for years to come.
1. LIQUID LINER
Takes practice after practice but it's worth the effort. Try liquid liners from
Estee Lauder, Yves Saint Laurent, Revlon and Guerlain for most control.
2. THIN PENCIL
Great for everyday use if it is semi-soft. Best suited for smudging are
Estee Lauder's, Prescriptives', Frederic Fekkai's, Revlon's, Oil of Olay's, and
Janet Sartin's.
3. FAT PENCIL
Use it for shadowing.
4. POWDER SHADOW
Apply with a dry brush to layer on top of the smudged lines. It will make
the lines look more natural and last longer.
Try Estee Lauder's Two-In-One Eyeshadow in Fog.
5. LIQUID LINER PEN
Conceptually captivating but difficult to finesse.
SMUDGED
O U T
For a smudgy, smoky lash line, use medium tipped, semi-soft pencils and powder.
Line top and bottom lash lines from the very inner to the very outer corners with an eyelining pencil. Pick a color that is two shades darker than the color of your eyes. For dark brown eyes, use a black pencil, while lighter brown eyes look better with a dark brown or charcoal pencil.
Then smudge lightly with your ring finger to soften and blend the edges of the top line.
Apply your eyesahdow favorites.
Line just above the lashes with liquid liner. Go over the lines with any shadow that's dark, like gray, navy, deep green or plum. The softened edges render a smoldering look.
