1. Start with priming your eyelids, for this I used MAC's Paint Pot in Nubile however a similar alternative would be MAC's painterly paint pot or Urban Decay's primer potion.
2. Apply a dark plum shade to your crease; I used MAC's Paint Pot in Idylic to do this. Make sure you blend it so you see no harsh lines.
3. With a light brown, run it through the crease. Then with a light frosty champagne colour, apply it all over the lid with a flat shader brush. Go back with the light brown to blend any edges and to define the crease that extra bit more. Using a matte white shade, put this under the brow-bone and blend it into the crease colour. The eyeshadows I used are all from Clinique. Then with a champagne colour, I used MAC's Mineralise Skinfinish in Crystal Pink, put this in the inner-corner to brighten your eyes.
4. Using a liquid eyeliner, for this I used Maybelline's Master Precise, run it along the upper lash line. Start with a thin line and then build it up to a more thicker line. Create a cat-eye effect by continuing the eyeliner above your eye (see picture) as far as you wish.
5. Tight-line using your favourite black eyeliner and then line your waterline. I used both Urban Decay and Avon liners for this as I find they have the best staying power.
6. Curl your lashes and apply mascara to the top and bottom. I used Illegal Length for the bottom lashes and The Falsies Flared for the top lashes.

Hope you liked this! :)

All-time favourite pencil eyeliners

Out of gel, pencil and liquid, my favourite type of eyeliner is pencil. I find it so much easier to apply than the others and they are much more universal; you can use them to line your top and bottom lash line, waterline and tight line. I was going to do a post with all my favourite liners (gel, liquid and pencil) but I found that I had double the amount of pencils which says something! *I am still going to review the new LO'real gel liner by the way :)

So, without further ado, here are some of my all time favourites:

1. Avon SuperSHOCK Gel Eyeliner in Black
2. No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in 10 Brown
3. Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in 061 Jet Black
4. Avon In A Blink Liner in Espresso
5. MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Stubborn Brown
6. MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating (full review here)
7. MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder

Swatches!

First column: MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating
Second column: No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in 10 Brown, MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Stubborn Brown and Avon In A Blink Liner in Espresso
Third column: MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder, Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in 061 Jet Black and Avon SuperSHOCK Gel Eyeliner in Black

Best black liner: Avon SuperSHOCK Gel Eyeliner in Black
Best brown liner: MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Subborn Brown
Best neutral liner: MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating

If I had to choose an overall favourite, it would have to be the SuperSHOCK by Avon. It is incredibly pigmented and is exactly like a gel but in a pencil form which I love! It is super inexpensive (around £6) and lasts a long time.

What's your favourite liner?
