Last week I showed a tutorial with sharp eyeliner that you can read about in Sharp eyeliner with Paese Penliner<\/a>! Now I was going to show a smoky eyeliner step by step.<\/p>\n

I get very frequent questions about just sharp eyeliner with wing as many love it but<\/em> think it's so heavenly, heavenly difficult. Some have difficult eye shapes to make a wing on, you are shaky on the hand, you get it nice on one eye but not on the other, etc. It will not be good but the eyeliner sits like a mountain and then you walk around and are dissatisfied with the makeup instead. Boring!<\/p>\n

There is, of course plenty<\/em> of tips and it's just practice, practice, practice. But do you know what I can feel sometimes? Skip sharp eyeliner completely! Make a smoky eyeliner instead, it is much easier and when you have made a smoky eyeliner enough times, the step to making a sharp eyeliner then does not feel as big :) Then you have learned the basics as well.<\/p>\n

Personally, I almost only do soot or semi-soot (not razor sharp) mainly for the reason that I feel nicer in it as well. But it's a matter of taste! :)<\/p>\n

\"soot<\/p>\n

Why is it easier with a smoky eyeliner?<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. It does not matter if you are shaking your hand<\/li>\n
  2. It does not require as much precision at all<\/li>\n
  3. It is easy to correct if it is wrong or asymmetrical<\/li>\n
  4. You can do a little at a time and "build up" a nice shape.<\/li>\n
  5. Because it is not razor sharp, it does not matter if it becomes uneven. There can be no major disasters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So you do not have to sit in front of the make-up mirror and quarrel and swear, but still get to enjoy a nice eyeliner with wings! :)<\/p>\n

    What products do I use for a smoky eyeliner?<\/h4>\n

    What I use for products is different, but often I use a carbon black eyeshadow and moistened brush - I moisturize with a fixing mist instead of water to get better durability.<\/p>\n

    I also apply with eye primer + powder on the eye before I make the eyeliner, because I have such oily eyelids, I need it to make it sit nicely from morning to evening.<\/p>\n
