Which Eyeliner Should I Use?
I’d say this is the most important thing and the look entirely depends on the eyeliner you use. The Loreal Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner is perfect to use because of how pigmented it is. The formula is long-lasting.
How Do I Do This?!
Great question, how do I do a dark eyeshadow look with eyeliner?
- Have no eyeshadow on your eyes! I’ve found it looks much better when you start fresh.
- Grab the pencil and gently glide it along your eye. Apply a small amount at first and make sure to not be too harsh! It can hurt your eye.
- With an eyeshadow brush blend everything in for a flawless eyeshadow look. Keep adding a little more for more pigment.
- After, curl the lashes and apply mascara. When you’re done add some of the eyeliner along your waterline to tie everything together.
- Once the eyeliner is on your waterline smudge it out. You can do this if you want a pop, but it’s not necessary.
- I did this after and it looked so good, I wanted to recommend it. Apply some of the FENTY BEAUTY HOW MANY CARATS?! On the beginning part of your eye for a little shimmer.
You’re done!
