Eyeliner can give you a touch of Hollywood glam in seconds.
There are several types, but a gel one is your best friend if you're going for a dramatic look. If you don't have a gel eyeliner at home, don't fret because there's a very easy solution.
The below video shows makeup lovers how to transform a pencil eyeliner into a gel eyeliner in no time. (This is just as simple as the hashtag eye trick for a smokey look!)
All you have to do is take pencil eyeliner (one of my favorites is Lancome) and put it under a flame for about one second. The eyeliner will immediately start to melt, which is what you want. But, before applying the liner to the eye, make sure to let it cool for 15 seconds so that you don’t burn your eye.
Aside from smoothing out a sharp point, this will allow for a more defined and dark line. It also makes it easier to get a winged-eye look, which you can also perfect with an easy scotch tape hack.
“In its natural form, it’s really hard to put on,” one of the hosts says about pencil eyeliner. “This is definitely much more smoother. So, if you’re left at home with just this pencil… Don’t worry, just grab a lighter!”
