Step 3: Use the smudger tool attached on the other end of the kajal pencil or an eyeshadow blending brush to blend the colour into your eyelids. The aim is to get a lighter shade towards the inside corners of your eyes.

Step 5: To accentuate the look further, you can apply a darker eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eye and a shimmer eyeshadow on the inner corners.
