Smudge Brush: Essential for Eyeliner

Have you ever used black eyeliner under your lids and it looked severe?

After learning this trick, this scenario could not happen to you again. A few years ago, I went to Blue Mercury and got my makeup done. I needed a new eyeliner and was concerned black eyeliner would be too severe. I learned from a makeup artist a few years ago smudging with a smudge brush is a critical last step. If it looks messy, clean it up with a Q tip. If you have already committed to doing a smokey eye, you can also smudge the top lash line for added drama.

At this point, you may be asking what smudge brush and eyeliner I use. Personally, I bought an eyeshadow brush kit from TJ Maxx. I am all about beauty on a budget! I use the black eyeshadow from the Covergirl Trunaked Palette I previously reviewed. You can substitute with any smudge brush or gel eyeliner.

With this method, you can achieve a pretty, softened eye makeup. Comment below if you have tried it!
