Now we're moving on to eyeliner. For this kind of look, you want to stay away from any harsh eyeliners. You want to stay away from blacks, anything liquid. You want to use something pretty neutral. I'm using an eyeliner that's similar to the crease color that I used on her. It's kind of a deep, deep eggplant. If you were using more brown colors, you could use a deep dark brown or your could use a gray. I like using the coal eyeliner pencils because they are soft and smudgeable. I can put it and I can smudge it to the desired look I want. Again, you want to use a little more than you normally would, but you don't want to use too harsh colors, or you don't want any harsh lines. You want everything to blend. You want to start out at the end of the eye, kind of going up like a cat's eye. Draw as close to the lashes as possible. The line needs to get a little bit skinnier as you get toward the center of the eye. I'm going to just draw on a soft pencil so it goes on pretty nice. Then you want to take either an angle brush or a smudger brush. You just want to blend that in so it doesn't look like a harsh line. It looks nice and blended and soft. Open. I'm going to add a little bit more to make it little bit deeper. Again, you want to get as close to the lash line as you possibly can. Perfect. I like to take a little bit underneath the eye again. You can use the excess that's on your brush. You can draw on to your pencil. Just a little bit towards the end. Just so everything is blended and looks nice and smooth. The last thing I like to do is take a little bit of a highlight color on an angle brush. The base color you use is probably perfect. Look up. Do a little highlight inside the eye as well. That'll just brighten the eye and finish off the look.
