Firstly, I line my eyes with the Red Earth Magicline Kohl Eyeliner Pencil Kohl Crayon in Deep Forest . Don't worry about lining it perfectly or in straight line as you'll be smudging it later. Once you've lined both eyes, get a smudge brush or a medium size eye shadow brush (I tend to reach out for the eye shadow brush) and run them into your little tub of Benefit Strut. After that, start smudging your eyeliner with it. Do it light-handedly. Start from the inside of your eyelid and move outwards towards the end of your eyelid. I tend to dip a bit more and add a little more texture nearing the end of the eyelid to give it a bit more omph.
Once that is done, dip your eyeliner brush into your Benefit Strut and line the bottom of your eyes. Line it half way and then smudge them towards the inside of your eye. By doing so, it will make your eyes look bigger and have more depth.
To complete the look, I used Anna Sui Super Mascara DX Waterproof mini on my eyelashes. As my bottom eyelashes are extremely short, I only put it on my top eyelashes. You may choose to run your mascara over the top and bottom of your lashes to make your eyes pop further.
After taking this picture, I realised how awesome a simple hairpin could do to my hair. All I did was grab some of my hair up to pin it, and viola! Totally change the look.
