How to properly apply eyeliner

Start by placing the blue kajal eyeliner in the middle of your eyelid, drawing a thin line along your upper lash line in the direction of your temples.

At the outer corner of your eye, extend the line outwards diagonally. Use your eyebrows as a guide, and be sure not to apply the eyeliner past the outer corners of your brows.
