Now:
Pop Beauty Liner Cake ($19, sephora.com) A color dense powder palette that has five intense rich eyeliner shades. Create smudgy, smokey, sexy eyes with shades that include: Electric Blue, Sliver Black, Velvet Plum, Emerald Green and Gunmetal. They go on smooth and smudge out just enough to create intense looks that are completely wearable.
Yesterday:
Using only a black eyeliner pencil to achieve a smoky eye look. Getting a stiff black pencil to achieve a look that screams sexy isn’t likely to happen. With a hard black pencil you get an eye that looks like its ringed in black instead of the soft smudged look that you want.

Tomorrow:

I love the smokey eye look. That pop tin looks so great. I am going to have to pick it up next time I am at the mall.
Any kit that contains a liner called “Black Leather” is a must.
I do makeup for a living and I agree no one should be doing the smudgey eye with just a pencil. Great tip!
Must pick up that Rocker Eyes Kit and the Pop Beauty tin.. Thanks for info.
