Earlier this week, Adam Dargan, a High Up Dude from Pout cosmetics in the UK brought a very large makeup kit and a couple of hundred tips to a bunch of beauty editors housed in the same building as I am.
Here he is putting out the fire on my eyelids. (To make them smoky... get it? No? Grow up.)
As you can see, he wore a very cool outfit that if I were to be a guy (hint: I'm not) I would hope I would be fashion-able (deliberate hyphen) enough to understand that it is a cool outfit and I should wear it pretty much every day.
Now. The best tip I learnt from Adam, was a very simple one regarding applying black liner UNDER THE UPPER EYE LASH LINE.
As in, not along the lash line, on the eyelid, but actually under the lashes. Kind of like how you line your inner rim on your lower lash line. Only on top. So you pull your eyelid up, look down into the mirror, and line the black kohl (make sure it's a soft, gel formula - nothing that pulls or drags) along the under rim of your eyelid.
What it does: It emphasises your lashes, opens up your eyes (liner on top of the lid closes your eyes because it creates a frame, or outline) and makes your eyes look whiter and brighter and prettier without any smooshing or running of eyeliner up and over the eyelid.
What I also learnt: I am a little bit stupid, and possibly a total fraud. Because EVERY OTHER BEAUTY EDITOR IN THE ROOM ALREADY KNEW THIS TIP. SP has even published it several times in her magazine. Man.
Anyway. Here is a shot of Adam doing it to Foxy Emma. Sure she doesn't look too foxy in this shot, but BELOOYVE me, when he was done with her peepers, she smoked.
(Not literally. That would've been really frightening.)

I tried this today.
One word.
Wow.
I don't usually wear eyeliner because it's just too hard for me.
But now I'm converted.

Is this one of those - do not attempt this at home type beauty tips?
I can see myself doing some serious eyesight damage with this one, but nonetheless I'll give it a shot.
