Think Ombré

Call up nigh everything you've ever been taught about how to execute a perfect smoky eye. Got it? Now forget all of it.

Nasrat lines her mono-lidded clients' eyes with black gel liner then takes a flat, tapered eye shadow brush and applies a dark brown matte shadow in a curved shape right higher up the lid. Then, she takes a light brown matte shadow and applies it correct above the darker shade. Finally, she blends everything out for a soft, smoky effect using MAC's 217 Synthetic Blending Brush ($28). The same technique goes for using colored centre shadows—Nasrat takes a navy blue or light regal and fills upwardly the whole lid halfway, and then blends up.

This tip is especially applicable to eyeliner. "Due to the way the eyelid moves on 'monolids,' it makes sense to line with eyes open, looking straight ahead," says Soh. "Don't obsess about getting the liner washed in one go. Exercise the picture first, then gently piece of work inwards." He recommends KVD Vegan Beauty Tattoo Liner ($21) or Super Pomade ($21) for smashing, budge-proof paint.

Wear a Halo

The idea of a darker colour on the inside of the eye can seem counterintuitive compared to the thousands of highlighted inner corners on the internet. Nasrat says non to work. "Y'all want to frame your optics—yous don't want them to look worlds autonomously. Don't be afraid of going inward with the darker shadows."

With an eyeliner smudger brush, you tin can "apply ane end to utilize your gel or foam liner, and then use the other to fume it out and blend out the ends into a wing shape," Nasrat says.

Head Down Under

If you're looking for definition just the boldness of a sharp liner is too much for you, focusing on "underliner," or the liner on the lower lashes, is a nifty way to experiment without making the upper hat feel heavy. "Information technology's a lovely manner to define eyes, especially when connected to a slight moving picture on the outer upper lid," says Soh.

Try pairing your underliner with tightlining (pushing the liner deep into the lash line instead of on top) on the upper hat. "This creates a look of denser lashes and actually brings out the shape of the center," reveals Soh.
