Why it worked

The video effectively uses a 'don't vs. do' format to clearly illustrate common makeup mistakes and their solutions, making it highly educational and relatable for viewers seeking to improve their eye makeup skills.

Summary

This video demonstrates how to achieve a smoky eye look without it appearing messy. It contrasts incorrect techniques like applying too much liner or bronzer, or over-applying mascara, with the correct methods of using less liner, a smaller brush for smudging, a larger brush for softening edges with bronzer, and a light hand with mascara.

Original caption

If your smudged liner always turns into raccoon eyes, try this. For an everyday soft, smoky eye, keep the liner controlled first, then use bronzer to softly blend the edges and through the crease. A light hand makes all the difference! Products used: • @essence cosmetics Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner in But First Espresso • @NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Bronzer in Butta Biscuit • @e.l.f.
