Quick trick: How to Intensify Your Smokey Eye (without eyeliner)

You want to rock a smokey eye, but your out of black eyeliner? Or maybe you aren't a fan of a dramatic smokey eye with the eyeliner, but still want to make it intense?
Here's a quick trick!

After having your smokey eye all done (whether you have used black and grey colors, or brown, burgundy or purple), dip a thin or a liner brush, like the Younique Liner brush into Rose Water, and after picking a black pigment, like the Moodstruck Minerals Pigment Powder in Corrupted, Risque or Devious and line the lash line and under the waterline. And that's it, pretty simple!

Applying eyeshadow for the perfect smokey eye

Above on the image you can see a graphic example on how to apply the different pigment shades in order to create the perfect smokey eye, with basically any color palette you chose.
Basically you'll need 3 tones: a darker for definition, a medium to blend and diffuse and a lighter tone to highlight. Try the Corrupted shade (darker), Daring or Irresistible (medium) and Curious (lighter) all from Younique.
The golden rule for the eyeshadow application is "blend, blend, blend!"
Make sure you have good brushes, like the Deluxe Brush to apply the shadow and the Liner/Shader Brush to blend, both from Younique.

Easy "smokey eye"

There isn't any makeup look that is more versatile than a smokey eye. It's classy, contemporary and not that hard to achieve if you follow the catwalk tricks:

• Start by applying the black liner both in the upper lash line as well as in the lower lash line.
• With a liner brush by Younique, wet it in Rose Water and then take a lighter Mineral Pigment to open the look, try the shade Feisty and apply in the inner corner.
• with the same brush, still wet from the Rose Water, take a darker pigment, like Corrupted from Younique and apply through the whole lid, with the "shader" part of the brush. The wet brush will create a more diffuse look and will ease the smudge.
• Finish the look with a nice layer of the 3D Fiber Lashes mascara.
