"So I'm going to use a pencil eyeliner on her also and I'm going to use it inside her eye to get a really sultry, smoky look. So I'm using a soft kohl pencil and it's going to go on pretty smooth. If you get a soft kohl pencil, they go on really smooth inside the eye. You can get them in any color and go inside the eye with it. On myself I even have a little bit on the inside of the eye. It's like a teal color. For her I'm going to use a black. You want a nice smoky, smoky look. Gently you want to take the pencil and go inside the eye and just add a little at a time and be very gentle. And look what a difference already it makes adding the pencil inside the eye from one eye compared to the other. And depending on how dramatic you want it, you can really pile it on in there or you can just put a nice little light coat. Like I said, you can use any color. For her, I'm using black, but if you've got a deep purple, you can use a deep purple or a dark gray. Black was just a little more dramatic so that's why I used it. But I also, since we're using purple and we want the purple to kind of stand out, I'm going to use this purple color. The same color I did on the lid and I'm going to use it underneath the eye. Kind of like an eyeliner underneath her eye. Look up. So that this purple really stands out. And you can put on as much or as little as you want depending on what look you're going for or what you feel comfortable doing. You can also take a little bit of this purple and put it on the inside corner of your eye on top as well. This is a really cool look for going out. You can really be funky. = Play around with it. Open. And I mean all we did was add a little bit of liner underneath and on the inside of the eye and look what a tremendous difference it did. I mean from one to the other. What a dramatic effect it had."
