Easy Makeup How-To: A Smudgey Kohl Eyeliner Look |
Ordinarily, I stay off darker eye makeup for the summers, and it's a definite no to dark eyeliners, but like almost every other Indian, I have been bitten by the
Piku bug and couldn't resist trying out a dark smudgey eyeliner look. While my makeup is definitely inspired by Deepika's dark kohl-rimmed eye makeup in the movie, I had to improvise quite a bit - partly for my skill (lack of) level but also because with my eye shape, a stark black liner all around won't be a very good look. Instead, I kept the liner thicker towards the outer corner of the eye, and just for a bit of a change opted for a dark bluish-green eyeliner instead of my usual black/brown. I used a long-lasting, smudge-proof pencil (Urban Decay's 24/7) to help the makeup stay on longer and and set it with powder eyeshadow to help delay smudging. Delay - because I have oily eyelids and it's summer - it would take a major miracle for this makeup to last through a hot day outdoors, but it held up fairly well indoors.
