Things You'll Need:

- Eyeshadow base
- Translucent powder
- Highly pigmented creamy black eyeliner
- Synthetic eyeshadow brush with a small head
- Black powder eyeshadow

Step 1
Apply an eye makeup primer on clean lids from lash line to browbone. This will help your eyeliner blend more smoothly. Once the primer absorbs, apply an eyeshadow base, also from lash line to browbone. This will help your eyeliner pop and smolder more than if you skipped the eyeshadow base. Dust translucent powder over your eyelids to set your eyeshadow base.

Step 2
Work a highly pigmented black eyeliner close to your lashes on both your top and bottom lids, making sure that not even a tiny sliver of skin is showing regardless of how high up on your lids you want the product to extend. Encircle your eye with the eyeliner all the way to the inner corners. You may use a pencil, creme or gel eyeliner from a pot. Smudge the eyeliner with a synthetic eyeshadow brush with a small head to get a smoky effect. If you want even more definition, apply the eyeliner on both your top and bottom rims, also known as the eye's "waterline."

Step 3
Use the eyeshadow brush with a small head to layer a black powder eyeshadow over the black eyeliner, blending away any hard lines. This is the secret to giving longevity to rocker eyeliner.
