Beauty Notes: The Basic Eye

It's rare to find a makeup tutorial that's so basic that it can be applied to a variety of looks, so when I found this video, I was thrilled. I love this video for its wide applicability and versatility. This lining technique can easily be modified to produce a smoky eye, a lock-tight line or shadow wash, or even a multi-color smoky eye. The technique isn't hard, and products used don't have to be expensive. What I like best of all, though, is the color Marlena used. I wouldn't have thought to use such a vibrant color with this technique, but it really adds interest to the look and opens up the possibilities of other colors and color combinations to be tried.
