There were many times where I would avoid putting eyeliner on my waterline, because I felt like it didn’t suit the shape of my eye. Recently, I started to explore more and MAN I changed my mind after applying a smoky effect to it. Let’s help you achieve a smoky waterline! 1. Applying Eyeliner Choose your eyeliner. A creamy eyeliner that takes a couple of seconds to set by itself later on is preferable. Line your waterline (the part of the skin that is close to your eyeball. Here are my favorites in black: FENTY BEAUTY - Flypencil Longwear Pencil Eyeliner PAT McGRATH LABS - Permagel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil 3CE - Super Slim Waterproof Eyeliner 2. Use A Good Brush and Powder to Smudge A proper tool and a well pigmented eyeshadow will help you achieve the best results. I use a micro-sized pencil brush or smudging brush like these: MORPHE - M515 Detail Crease SIGMA - E21 Smudge Brush And I also use ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette in the shade Noir(Black) Take your brush and apply a small amount of shadow onto the areas where you placed your eyeliner. Begin applying it with back and forth motions or circular motions. The idea is to increase the width of your eyeliner without creating harsh lines. The eyeshadow and blending will help you with two things: Set your eyeliner in place Diffuse the color outwards from your eye, thus creating more depth Slowly build up the color to your liking. 3. Reapply if needed. As you start blending, you may notice some pigment comes off the waterline. This is normal. Just reapply your eyeliner again and you should be good to go! TIPS: Have some MAC - MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Finishing Mist on hand in case everything sets and it seems like it’s not budging anywhere. Spray some on your brush and tap it into the areas that need fixing and begin blending afterwards. It should be moveable again. BE LIGHT-HANDED. It’s easier to apply more product than to take away. Happy Smudging! Remember practice makes perfect! ❤️

Hey everyone! I love a good shimmer eyeshadow and I remember when I first got into eyeshadow...I had no idea what I was doing. LOL I hope this map helps those who have a similar eyeshape or who are struggling with placement/application of eyeshadows! For those of you who don’t know where to start with a “beginners” eyeshadow palette, I highly recommend Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette. It’ll help you experience what a “buttery” eyeshadow palette is, teach you about “fallout”, and pigmentations. I truly believe makeup is an experience and by learning about what you like and dislike you’ll know what you’re looking for on your next journey. The Soft Glam Palette has all these elements (being soft/buttery, occasional fall out, really awesome pigmentation), so it can give you an idea of what a good eyeshadow palette would potentially be and if you end up not liking it, again, you’ll know what to look for next time! The key is to start somewhere! Side note: “fallout” is not necessarily bad, because I feel like it’s good for a person to experience what it is. Not all palettes are created equal so by having fallout, you can learn how to adjust your techniques accordingly when you do encounter a palette that has it.Too Faced - Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Norvina Eyeshadow Palette 3CE - Velvet Lip Tint
