Stumble It!How To Create Smoky Eyeliner in Soft Lilac
Posted by The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. on September 30th, 2009
Not every lined eye that makes a beauty statement needs to be dark in order to do so. Just look at the always beautiful Jessica Stroup, seen here at the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party, who shows us that a heavily pigmented shadow in Lilac can be just as dramatic.
To get the look, makeup artist beth bender of beth bender beauty suggests wetting a tapered eyeliner brush first and then dipping into your shadow. To apply, start at the outer eye and move brush along the top lashline, and then below the bottom. For a thicker line add more color to the liner already there, extend beyond eye, and up for an elongated look.
To create a cat eye in Lilac beth recommends using her Cat Eyeliner Stencil and finish by adding an eyeliner sealant so the color stays on for hours. For extra definition you can apply a tight black liner to the top and bottom, and smudge slightly. benefit’s BADgal liner waterproof in black is a favorite of beth’s, that also happens to be a big favorite of mine as well.
