Just a quick tutorial for you today on how to create a smokey eye using a pencil eyeliner, handy for when you're in a rush or just need a more subtle look.
I used a cheap eyeliner because they are easier to smudge due to the fact the pigment is not that good but it gives a nice slate colour which I like. I also used a 'smudger' but a cotton bud would work just as well.
Step 1: Apply a line of liner on your upper lash line, it doesn't have to be neat.
Step 2: Start smudging along the line.
Step 3: Begin smudging upwards, as far as you like and into your preferred shape, you can keep to your eyelid or you can wing it out. Make sure it doesn't look patchy.
Step 4: Then use your finger to get rid of any defining lines so it blends out nicely.
Step 5 (optional): Apply your liner in the waterline and on your lower lash line then smudge it to create a smokier look.
Step 6: Apply some mascara then you're done!
Hope this helps some of you! Thanks for reading.
