It has been a while since I posted some tutorial.. While I was contemplating on what tutorial I can post, I remembered my bridal MUA Kavitha who did a fabulous job with simple eyeshadows and brushes..So it is in the hands of the MUA and not the products what they use. When I spoke to her regarding my blog & my ideas, she suggested a simple, yet glam eye makeup tutorial using only colored eyeliner pencils, some Q tips, a pair of false lashes and offered to do the tutorial for me.
So here are the steps and pics for you :)

| Steps from Left to Right |
1 : Using a colored eyeliner pencil first draw an outer demarcation above the crease area. We have used a bronze colored pencil from an ordinary brand.
2 : Then start shading inside using the same pencil and apply the color uniformly all over the lid.
3 : Use the pencil in slanting motion & try to blend the eye shadow to create a softer look at the crease area.This is the blending process and this is done only using the pencil and not any brush.
4 : Using the same pencil, line your lower line and extend it towards the outer V area.

5 : The first picture above shows how it looks after blending the eye shadow.
6 : Next take a black khol pencil and draw a thick line on upper lash line.

7 : Take another colored liner and lien the lower lash line to create a dramatic look. We used Maybelline Liner in green.
8 : Then using the black khol draw a thick line on the lower lash line for an intense eyemakeup look. This is an optional step.I feel incomplete without black khol on my lower lash line.
9 : Apply lash glue to the false lashes, stick them & use a Q tip to make the false lashes stick to your natural ones.
10 : Apply mascara to both upper & lower lashes, touch up the lower lash line with green liner. Do all the clean ups using the Q tip and see the final look below..

Tips :
1 : If you find blending of the eye shadow at the crease area difficult using the liner pencil, you can use the Q tip to smooth out the harsh edges.
2 : Take a small amount of talcum powder on the Q tip & press it on the lids after completing the look so that it doesn't smudge & stays in tact for a long time.
3 : A cream based concealer is sufficient to act as an eye shadow base and there is no need to invest in a separate primer. She used Kryolan dermacolor camouflage cream on my eyes.
