Is it just me or is liquid eyeliner seriously the hardest thing, ever? I practice all the time, and I just can't get those perfect smooth lines that you see all over Instagram or YouTube. I can SOMETIMES do something that is somewhat presentable, but that takes about 30 minutes and 15 Q-tips dipped in makeup remover. (No joke!!)
I recently decided that smokey eyeliner was my new thing. You can get the effects of eyeliner without having to be so precise. For this, I just use normally black or brown eyeshadow,but you are welcome to be creative and use whatever color you fancy that day!
What you will need: eyeshadow, an angled eyeliner brush or flat defined brush. You can use a setting spray or Inglot's Duraline to make your color more vibrant. But totally not necessary.
What you will do: dip your brush of choice into the eyeshadow, don't be shy. Tap off any excess so you don't have a ton of fallout onto your cheeks. Starting at the base of your lashes press the brush down, don't swipe back and forth, but kind of wiggle it to get the most color payoff. Work your way across your entire lash line doing this. You can also do a winged eyeliner doing this also. After you've done your lash line you can get a little more eyeshadow on your brush and lightly smoke the line upwards so it's not so harsh and won't show any mistakes. ;)
You can also use this technique on your lower lash line.
If you want to get real fancy, layer a second color just above your previous line to get a more gradient effect. If you use black first, try using dark brown as your second color. This will add a ton of definition to your lash line and make your lashes look more defined.
