The Foolproof Hack for Effortless Rock ‘n’ Roll Eyeliner
The Experiment: Debunking the “Slept In” Eyeliner Myth
In the realm of beauty, achieving that effortlessly smudged, rock ‘n’ roll eyeliner look has always been a coveted goal. However, whenever I’ve woken up after sleeping in my makeup, I’ve been far from resembling the effortlessly chic Kate Moss at Glastonbury in 2005. Instead, I bore a closer resemblance to Alice Cooper.
But now, as the noughties indie aesthetic makes a comeback, the coveted “indie sleaze” smudged eyeliner look has taken center stage. The technique is surprisingly simple: using a black or dark brown pencil eyeliner, apply it to your waterline, tightline (the inside of the upper lash line), and even a little on the lash line. Then, gently rub your eyes to create a smudged effect.
On my first attempt, the result was subtle. However, with a few coats of mascara and a bit more eyeliner, it grew on me. Admittedly, achieving the perfect smudged eyeliner look requires a very soft eyeliner pencil with a built-in smudger. Finish off the look with mascara, and you’re good to go – no eye-rubbing required.
The Verdict: Worth a Try, but with Caution
Although the smudged eyeliner look didn’t quite work for me, it’s worth experimenting with to see if it suits you. Just remember to be gentle and avoid excessive eye-rubbing as it may cause irritation to the delicate skin around the eyes.
