5 Ways to Wear Kohl Liner

By: Xeng Zulueta

1. The perfect rock & roll smudge. Take your kohl liner to a sharpener since you want it really sharp to be able to line on the inside top and bottom eye line. When I say inside, I really mean under the lash line and the inside bottom lash line. Make sure you line top and bottom. Now shut your eyes hard a few times and open….THAT creates the perfect smudge in a few seconds.

2. The instant eye-lift. Line only the top eye line and staying close to the lash line as possible. In one sweep of the kohl liner go from the outer corner to the inside. Don’t worry about getting it too thick. Then take a dry q-tip and wipe the excess going in the opposite direction. Lining only the top eye line and then creating a clean line with a dry q-tip gives a ‘wide-eyed-I-just-woke-up’ appearance.

3. Wing it. Take a sharp kohl liner and line the eyelid starting from the inner corner going outwards. Make a dead stop at the outer corner of the eyes. Trace a thicker line now starting from the middle going outwards. So you now have an eye line that grows thicker as it reaches the outside corners. Take a dry q-tip and drag it from the outer corner and up as if you’re creating a check mark. The thicker eyeliner now gets dragged in an upward sweep creating a simple “winged” idiot-proof eye line effect.

4. Wing it top and bottom. Repeat #3 but now do it also on the bottom. Eyeliner should meet at the top and bottom outer corners. This creates a strong defined turnt up eye line which is very edgy and fierce.

5. Color blocked. Create a thin eye line on the top with a sharp kohl pencil in black. Do a second line right above in a punchy color like cobalt blue, magenta or emerald green. Tadaaaaa! Instant high-fashion with a blast of color.
