We’re talking about defining your inner corners with eyeliner, specifically using our fabulous ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil! ✨

Lecture: Inner Corner Illumination: The ZenaMakeup Way

Introduction: Why the Inner Corner Matters

Think of your eyes as a stage. You’ve got the main act (your eyeshadow), the supporting cast (your mascara and brows), and… the lighting! Your inner corners are like the spotlights. A little shimmer or brightness there can illuminate your entire face, making you look more vibrant and refreshed.

Here’s why highlighting the inner corner is a game-changer:

• Brightens the Eyes: Reflects light, making your eyes appear larger and more awake.
• Creates a More Open Look: Gives the illusion of wider-set eyes, especially beneficial for those with close-set eyes.
• Adds Dimension and Interest: Prevents your eye makeup from looking flat or one-dimensional.
• Complements Any Eye Look: Works with everything from a natural, everyday look to a dramatic smokey eye.

Introducing the Star: ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil

Before we dive into the techniques, let’s talk about our star player: the ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil. 🌟

Highly Pigmented	Delivers intense color payoff with just one swipe, so you don’t have to layer it on repeatedly.	Provides noticeable brightness without needing excessive product.
Long-Lasting	Holds its color and intensity throughout the day, so you don’t have to worry about touch-ups.	Maintains the illuminated effect for hours.
Versatile Shades	Available in a range of shades, from classic white and champagne to shimmering gold and bronze, so you can find the perfect match for your skin tone and desired effect. (See table below)	Allows you to customize your look based on your preferences.

Preparation is Key: Priming and Tools

Before you start drawing, let’s prep! Think of it like prepping a canvas before painting.

1. Cleanse and Moisturize: Ensure your eyelids are clean and moisturized. This will create a smooth base for application.
2. Prime: Apply an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids. This will help the eyeliner pencil adhere better and prevent creasing. ZenaMakeup has a fabulous eyelid primer, wink wink! 😉
3. Sharpen: Keep your ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil sharpened to a fine point. This will allow for precise application in the small inner corner area. A dull pencil is your enemy! ⚔️

    1. Sharpen your ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil.
    2. Starting at the inner corner, draw a very thin line along the inner lash line, extending outwards slightly.

    4. The line should be subtly blended into your eyeshadow.

  Technique 3: The V-Shape Method (Advanced)

  • What it is: Creating a small "V" shape in the inner corner.
  • How to do it:
    1. Sharpen your ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil.
    2. Draw a very short, angled line along the upper lash line, starting from the inner corner and extending slightly outwards.

    4. Use a small brush to blend the lines slightly, softening the edges.

  Technique 4: The Halo Effect (Creative & Daring)

  • What it is: Extending the inner corner highlight to create a halo effect around the entire eye.
  • How to do it:
    1. Use a light shade (Champagne Shimmer or Vanilla Cream) of your ZenaMakeup Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil to highlight the inner corner using the Dot or Line Method.
    2. Extend the highlight along the lower lash line, stopping about halfway.
    3. Use a similar shade of eyeshadow to connect the lower lash line highlight to the outer corner of your eye, creating a soft, diffused halo effect.

  Choosing the Right Shade for Your Skin Tone

  We touched on this earlier, but it’s worth reiterating: the right shade can make all the difference.

  Skin Tone	Recommended Shades	Why
  Fair	Champagne Shimmer, Vanilla Cream, Silver Ice (use sparingly)	Light shades will brighten the eyes without looking too harsh.
  Light-Medium	Champagne Shimmer, Vanilla Cream, Rose Gold Shimmer	These shades provide a subtle, natural highlight.
  Medium-Dark	Rose Gold Shimmer, Bronze Shimmer	Warmer shades will complement the skin tone and add a touch of radiance.
  Dark	Bronze Shimmer	Deep shades will provide a noticeable highlight without looking ashy.

  Troubleshooting: Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them

  • Too Much Product: Start with a small amount and build up gradually. It’s easier to add more than to take away.
  • Harsh Lines: Always blend, blend, blend! Use a small brush or your fingertip to soften the edges.
  • Smudging: Make sure your eyeliner pencil is waterproof and that you’ve primed your eyelids properly. If smudging occurs, use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up the area.
  • Looking Unnatural: Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and blend the product well. Remember, the goal is to enhance, not to look like you’re wearing a neon sign.

  Bonus Tips and Tricks

  • Use a Setting Spray: To ensure your inner corner highlight stays put all day, spritz a setting spray over your face.
  • Experiment with Different Shades: Don’t be afraid to try different shades to see what works best for you.
  • Pair with Other Brightening Techniques: Combine inner corner illumination with a touch of highlighter on the brow bone or cheekbones for an extra boost of radiance.
  • Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right away. Keep practicing, and you’ll master the technique in no time.
