EYELINER 101

 I Have a thing for kajal .. BIG BIG thing for kajal .. currently I own 20 :P
been using it regularly since birth but started using the cosmetics ones since 13 , I think
I know most of yew prefer Herbal kajals .. I have both but herbals seems to smudge on me .. no matter how hard I try :(
But whenever you are using liners to line your waterline make sure it is ophthalmologically , hypoallergenic and safe for contact lens wearers (In case yew wear lenses ,like me)


My 5 years of journey with kajal was rocky . We had our ups and down . It had often result in Racoon-ed eyes ,
What I love most is - I didnt leave 'His" side :P
And here , I found my new love .. presenting yew Colorbar eye glide on pencil in Blackout

 Its creamy , long lasting and smudge proof .,. I Love it :)
Not sure if its my HG .. will notify ya !!


Some basic of kajal( From Vogue October issue)

1. Prep Your Eyes -Wipe off existing eye makeup and dirt . Conceal under eye area using some long concealer , set it with some transluscent powder . Sharpen your pencils. Place ring finger on outer corner and lift the skin up slightly
2. Define Lids - Position pencil on outer corner of lashline. tilt the tip slightly so its on its sideand draw inwards lining the eyes in short strokes, wriggling the pencils in between roots as you go. Repeat to Darken
3. Trace below- Using ring finger , lightly press skin just below the centre of lower lashline . place the pencil tip on top of the lashes at outer corner , slant it so the side rest on lashline. stopping just short of tear duct . Repeat

      4. Blend- Sharp line makes eye look smaller .Soften edges by using a smudger over the existing  liner and sweeping a Taupe shadow over it . For dramatic smokey look , Use black shadow .


Some pointers

• Dust some transluscent powder under the eyes whilst workin with shadows and liners . Then You need not worry about cleaning the under eye area. simply remove it with a big powder brush
• If you have oily lids , Use some primer(MAC paint pot , Beyu eye primer). I made mine my mixing a little concealer with Ponds matte oil control concentrate and YAY it works :)
• Dont pull the eyelids taut when applying liner . Over time it will cause wrinkling of eye area
• Apply kajal to upper rim of the eyes too . It gives them desired depth and make the lashes look fuller
• Use Q tips handy . Clean the inner corner of eyes with them as kajal have tendency to accumulate there.  You can also use them to smudge the liner :)

                                           This is how I line my waterline :)

Happy lining everyone :)
