^ The only reason I’m posting this video is because it shows how to get that thick black eyeliner without making it look too harsh. Video from 1:56 onwards shows how to do a soft, dark, black eyeliner.
Remember what I said about girls in pakistan getting this look wrong? I think I know why… they were using an eyeliner (gel or liquid or pencil) to line their bottom lashes. That’s why they ended up looking like a panda!
In this video, you’ll see that the makeup artist uses an eyeliner only on the waterline and then he uses a black eyeshadow to line the bottom lashes. This gives those perfect black lined eyes, without the harshness.
This is exactly what Kareena Kapoor usually does. If you look at her pictures from Kurbaan, she has a thick line of eyeliner on her eyelid, but she only uses a grey-coloured eyeshadow to line her bottom lashes. No eyeliner at the bottom! Only on the eyelid and the waterline.
Now ofcourse for an arabic look, you’d use a darker black on the bottom lashes. You could even use a pencil eyeliner but smudge and blend it really well with an eyeshadow. The eyeshadow would also help seal the pencil eyeliner.
Blending is the key to getting the arabic eyes right!
