How To Do Easy Black Eyeliner in Minutes
Posted by The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. on August 7th, 2009
Even on those hot summer days a sexy black liner is a quick beauty task to pull your look together and get you to the party on time! To prevent smudging try a waterproof eyeliner like Benefit’s BADgal Waterproof Eyeliner in Black. It has a smudge tip on one end to soften the line and give it an even more smoldering effect.
To create the look with ease and give your eyes a smooth, continuous black line like Emma Stone seen here, pull the skin taut from the outer corner of your eye with one hand, and with the other hand, gently draw a thin line from the outer to the inner corner. The pencil should be as close to the lashline as possible so there is no space between the eyelid and lashes.
Use the same technique to get a thin black line along your lower lash line as well. If your eyes are smaller make sure and taper the liner so it fades from the center of eye towards the inner part of eye.
Once your liner is done you can finish by setting with a colored eyeshadow underneath and above the eye. For perfect eyeliner that takes seconds to do use an eyeliner stencil on the top and bottom. Simply hold the stencil in the desired place along the lashline and sweep across the eye with your shadow.
It’s that simple and it looks super sexy!
