What is the upside down eye makeup trend?

Love the smokey eye or that thick liner on your eyes? It’s time to shake things up and turn it into a reverse—wear the smokey eyes on the lower lash line. You can either use a thick pencil or an eyeshadow to create this dramatic look.

How is it done?

Get your hands on a pencil and eyeshadow for that much needed drama on the eyes. Start by lining the lower lash line. Next, rim below the lash line just a wee bit and then smudge out the pencil just a wee bit. Finally, use the same coloured eyeshadow and press it on the liner/pencil to darken the colour.

You can get a blue upside down eye makeup look using the Lakmé Absolute Precision Eye Artist Kajal, Sapphire Blue and the Lakmé Absolute Illuminating Eye Shadow Palette, Silver.
