How To: "Smokey" Lash Effect

[lunakiitty]

This is so pretty! You're exactly the kind of makeup person I was looking for! :D

[lindseykaye1]

Oh wow, that waterline technique is kind of awesome :)

[KarolinaSays]

You're so pretty! We have a very similar eye color, and I can't wait to try it out b/c it really made your eyes pop.

[TheMelka26]

PERFECT!!!

[choppers884ever]

this video of yours was featured on MuchMusic (it's a Canadian music channel) a few days ago as a beauty trending video.

[sbgitana1]

Alli: I bought L'oreal infallible 24 hr e/s in continous cocoa but found it more of a muddy grey than a deep/rich brown... did you find that ?

[hickslourdescamilla]

OMGGG i love the color of ur eyesss :D and ur videos rockkk!! :D thnx 4 making them. :)

[H0LLYg0LiGHTLY2013]

great look!! im gonna try this out tmrw!

[honeycone111]

this was on tv :)

[artistylux]

You didn't even need lashes ; great tutorial :)

[thevibenowvlog]

Can't wait to try this look! Thanks for a great tutorial!

[rebeccamcneil1]

you're really down to earth :) ! good video !

[rebeccamcneil1]

you're really down to earth :) ! good video !

[GreetingsfromCherie]

You're so gorgeous! I just subbed!! <333

[hdryver]

Your eye makeup looks amazing!!! I don't usually watch eye makeup videos, but this video was excellent.

[JoulesAmerica]

love I will need to try to love the smudge of my mascara. Joules

[AnnaKimball567]

This is super pretty

[Jdly0522]

You're gorgeous! You remind me of Katie Cassidy!

[Handalmyglitterpuke]

She looks like scarlett johanson

[MistYouMadly]

Guys!!! Leave her alone! She makes these videos for us, surely you should be grateful enough for that!!!

[prettyspiffy616]

Because of you I went out and bought the L'Oreal Smoldering Eyeliner and the L'Oreal Liquid Pencil Eyeliner. I've always loved their products but these liners made me even more faithful to the brand! The smoldering one is great for getting that nice smoky look. But, OMG, that liquid pencil is simply AMAZING!!! Soooo intensely pigmented, and you barely touch it to your eye and it deposits color! I love how it just glides on so creamy/smooth its like the liner's half melted, lol! Thanks!!!

[MakeupByAlli]

@prettyspiffy616 aren't they amazing?? I've almost forgotten that I own a Stila Eye Kajal after purchasing those two haha...I'm really glad you love them too!

[prettyspiffy616]

@MakeupByAlli Amazing isn't even the word!! I seriously went back out and got 2 more of the liquid pencils, lol, just to be sure I have backup! The smoldering one...eh, I'm not too crazy about anymore..but the liquid one is like heaven sent!!!

[MakeupByAlli]

@prettyspiffy616 hahaha i know right! the liquid pencil is pretty unbelievable...better than any high end version I've tried.

[prettyspiffy616]

@MakeupByAlli Unbelievable is not even the word...I'm telling everyone I know about this liner, lol, I really think my friends and family have begun to think I've lost my mind! I'm trying to love the Smoldering Liner more...I think it's so-so right now. How do you use it yourself..any tips for using it that will make me love it?

[fifthaavenue]

her eye close up looks similar to makeupbytiffanyd!

[amzyjane]

OMG Allie! I am absolutely DEVO you don't respond to comments!!! I mean you provide your loyal subbies with free entertainment, so it is only right that you give a substantial response to the opinions, inquiries and questions posed which we deem appropriate. Girl forget about having a life/job/relationship!! You are here on YT to upload videos and be at our beck and call!! Didn't you realise that when you signed up to compete with Lisa Eldridge? BTW u talk way 2 much!!!

[MakeupByAlli]

@amzyjane Baaahahahaha ohhh lordie ;) This comment truly made my day, thank you.

[nothingseversolved]

Your voice sounds just like Scarlett Johansson :)

[TeilerPro]

you are really good at makeup but you talk WAY too much .

[83pavs]

Alli, I did the smokey lashes look today. Very pretty! I LOVE the Loreal Voluminous smoldering eyeliner for waterline. The only problem I did have was so much fall out from the Loreal "Continuous Coco". I'll have to find a solution for that before I use it again. Thanks!

[MakeupByAlli]

@83pavs That's so cool that you tried it! I have noticed a bit of fall out with that one too but I powder my undereye area with Powderflage before applying my eye makeup. That way it's easy to brush away any fallout

[westiemae]

Do you like the regular Lash Blast, as well? What's the difference between the two?

[MakeupByAlli]

@westiemae the yellow tube is lengthening, the orange tube is volumizing and the purple one is volumizing AND lengthening, i go for the best of both worlds haha

[SammysMakeupCorner]

I actually have all the products you talk about but the eyeliner doesn't have great staying power.

[MakeupByAlli]

@SammysMakeupCorner I'll always try to top my eyeliners with a matching eyeshadow and that really helps a lot

[blondchick4]

how long do you keep your plus 5 min whitening gel on and how often do you use it to keep and get to your pearly whites??

[MakeupByAlli]

@blondchick4 If I need some major whitening I'll leave it on for like 20 minutes, but usually just 5-10. I used it twice a day for a week to start off and now just very occasionally (maybe like once every few weeks) to keep up with it :)

[dimplechops88]

He's responds on twitter

[sbgitana1]

@dimplechops88 to clarify: I’m not talking about facebook, twitter, linkedin etc. but her You tube channel: makeupbyalli.

[opearsall]

Love this look. Have been wanting to try both of those products. Excited to see they work. Thanks for this gorgeous look.

[mssl07]

ur voice is really loud in your vids

[MakeupByAlli]

@mssl07 I've seen other comments about that, not sure whats up cause I never mess with the volume while editing and I (try to) talking normally when filming. Hmmm..

[alika2234]

Does anyone know what kind of eyeliner pencil she used?

[allyp619]

@alika2234 loreal voluminous smoldering eyeliner

[Kazzandra88]

This will be fun to try in the morning! Thanks alli :)

[MsLovin2010]

You have pretty eyes.

[ninadechiwawa]

You are the prettiest guru on youtube! <3333

[thatsitable1]

Thanks Alli! Simple yet elegant look!!

[supriyaheartsyou]

can you do a tutorial on how to apply mascara?

[mariokonijntjn]

I love your nails !!!! Nail tutorial? ;)

[bowbeauty2]

I think you should do the middle part for your hair. It would frame your face more. Just my opinion. (;

[MakeupByAlli]

@bowbeauty2 i've tried that, i feel like it looks weird on me I guess lol

[debbi408]

nice, not strange! you look Fab! thanks for the great tip!

[Proudgigi]

Thanks for the tip on using this pencil on the tight line! I struggle with this and am going to try it tomorrow. Love the look!

Debbie

[leannemullen]

Beautiful!!! You always have such great tips and make it look soooooooo easy to do. I have a few of the Tatoo shades but now I want to get the white one too ...in fact I need a few more items to try this look because I LOVE it!!! :)

[safinator27]

i don't see the smokey lashes

[feelalive2]

I LOVE THIS!

i may try this one of my nights out...

this is a weee dark for me for a day look

[RomaSae]

You are so beautiful! I love this look! I've always loved the smokey lash look more than the traditional smokey eye...it's even sexier. :)

[beautyrush921]

whenever i apply mascara to my lower lashes, it looks all messy and i end up looking like a back ally whore :( Any suggestions?

[MakeupByAlli]

@beautyrush921 Omg LOLLL!! Well we definitely don't want that! Some mascaras are difficult to apply to the lower lashes but you might try brushing the wand side to side vs. up and down. I feel like it transfers a bit better that way and for me its doesn't touch the skin underneath as much :)

[prettyspiffy616]

@MakeupByAlli I don't know if you watch his videos but Wayne Goss gave a tip in one of his videos to literally paint your lashes with a liquid liner before you apply mascara to get the blackest lashes you've ever seen. I tried it out w/ my Lineur Intense and it's true!! I recently started only painting my lower lashes with the liner and putting the mascara only on my top ones. You should def try it...I really think it works!!

[mirrlove]

this is easy if you have lids like that :l

[mizztina83]

Can't wait to try this!

[thekellyjellybear]

just shut up and watch the video <3

[kiwimitts2]

I love your tutorials, Alli - I learn so much from you and the looks are so beautiful. Love you!!!

[1StephMarie]

Love this! You have thee most beautiful long natural lashes! SOOO gorgeous. Have you ever used conditioning or lengthening serum? Great video! :)

[MakeupByAlli]

@1StephMarie Thanks! No I haven't except for the Tarte Lights Camera Lashes mascara which has some "good for your lashes" stuff in it..not meant to make them grow though I don't think

[TheCuddlybeast]

wow your pretty :)

[jenna6289]

I agree. Sometimes your looks are exactly the same.

[MakeupByAlli]

@jenna6289 Thanks for the feedback...I'll try to spice it up

[LYRICALLYNESS]

pretty honey!

[Betty89ify]

I really love this look but I think that sometimes you could change a bit your makeup tecniques (your makeup seems always the same) and also answer to some comments, think about it!

[MakeupByAlli]

@Betty89ify I promise I'll try my best to do all of those things! I tend to stick with looks that I wear a lot just cause...its what I wear haha. But if you guys want to see new and different then I'm all for it... I'll start brainstorming ;)

[Betty89ify]

@MakeupByAlli yeah!! thank you very much! in this case, I'm looking forward what you're gonna recreate!! ;) xoxo from Italy

[lianasamo]

i loved this!!

[juhnellee]

This is absolutely lovely Alli!

[sbgitana1]

Alli, I curious to why you don't respond to comments on your channel. Just wondering, even really famous makeup gurus Lisa Elridge for example, replies. I just think it would boost your credibilty and we could see your response. Don't be afraid to respond girl :-)

[aussiedonna50]

@sbgitana1 I agree with you! I am over people on YT who seem to think they are above the people who show interest in what they put up on YT and ask questions.

I am also unsubscribing to all those channels that simply use YT as an advertisement for a blog or Facebook.

There are very few "gurus" on YT & those people absolutely deserve the title but there are a ton of girls who make videos with too much makeup & no clue

[lasenioritaxo]

@sbgitana1 every time I have posted a comment to Alli's videos, I have received a nice response!

[sbgitana1]

@lasenioritaxo Ya, I'm not referring to a quick, "thanks!" or "Glad you like the video" but a substantial response to the opinions, inquiries or questions that are posed. What videos did you comment on? I'd love to check them out and her response. thanks!

[MakeupByAlli]

@lasenioritaxo And thank you very very much for commenting ;)

[VanillaTwilight90]

@sbgitana1 She has responded to a bunch of my comments!

[sbgitana1]

@VanillaTwilight90 Ya, I'm not referring to a quick, "thanks!" or "Glad you like the video" but a substantial response to the opinions, inquiries or questions that are posed from subscribers that take the time to respond to videos: especially her loyal ones like myself. What videos did you comment on? I'd love to check them out and her response. thanks!

[MakeupByAlli]

@sbgitana1 Well thank you for the encouragement! I try my best and it's good to know you'd like to hear from me :)

[ohyeah0418]

ur lashes are so long! I think my normal lashes are about the same length as your bottom ones! hahaha

[Neesafuff]

Ditto on everything that crazyclass said below

[brunnettebeauty]

You look like an even more gorgeous version of britney spears!

[leahandlinda10]

Your hair looks really pretty!

[Karatefreako]

Thanks! I've always wanted to know how to do this.

[ktquayle]

I love all of your tricks and tips! they are so helpful and teach me little things to play up a feature or switch things up a bit. Thank you!

[SugarbabeO2]

Love thaat

[Lacquerandlace]

Looking great!

[crazy4bdd]

I love the way you're always smiling!!

[whoaitschee]

i love everything you do but you should try something out of the box, something unexpected (:

[MakeupByAlli]

@whoaitschee Thank you! I'm planning on doing lots of colorful looks since a bunch have people have been requesting it :)

[WaterLilySPLASH]

Good god that mascara looks amazing on you. I never thought to try it but after seeing it on you I'm running out to the drugstore

[MsKissableEli]

i love ur lashes!

[mmjloca2]

I love how your videos are so unique compared to a lot of other tutorials out there. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good ones out there, but I always feel like I learn a new technique in each of your videos. Thanks for sharing! :)

[MakeupByAlli]

@mmjloca2 Thanks so much!

[crazyclass]

Like some other people said, I feel like you do this eye look a lot in tutorials. It's gorgeous, but I'd like to see some variety. I really liked when you mixed it up and wore the red lips, that looked beautiful on you.

[MakeupByAlli]

@crazyclass I really appreciate your feedback and I mean that 100%. You guys always let me know what you like and I want to make videos you like, so your opinions are really valuable. Oh and by the way thanks for phrasing it in such a nice way haha.

[FelineRM]

that chunky loreal liner pencil thing looks good :D Wonder how you would sharpen it though..

[danilynn1217]

@FelineRM they include a sharpener with it :-)

[FelineRM]

@danilynn1217 They do? :D Oh perfect!

[xoxoAmber211]

You make this look so easy but when I do it it's never as beautiful </3

[baracknroll31]

i'm going out to a broadway show tonight, so i may do this look. :)

[darbidoll99]

Wow you look so pretty with this look ! Good Job Thank you so much !

[melliimelz]

Although i enjoyed this tutorial and it came out gorgeous i do agree about ur looks generally lookin the same And just overall very similar to each other :/ but like i said i did enjoy this video and all ur others

[freetobegirlie2]

I think I'm going to request that you do a Katie Cassidy look on every video until it happens. Like this if you agree!

[nicolerhett21]

God your beautiful!

[multicoolio7]

beautiful!

[nnr0704]

Seriously?? Everyone is a critic...

She wears eyeshadow the way she likes it. There are millions of other gurus on here that I am sure could do a "different" look the way you may like. I like her tutorials & tips. They are beautiful and not too over the top. I can wear them to work or for date night. She explains things sooo perfectly. She is one of my favorites. Thanks Alli!

[MakeupByAlli]

@nnr0704 Thank you so much! I like to take the constructive criticism into account but it's always so nice to read a positive comment. Thanks for taking the time to give your input :)

[83pavs]

So pretty! I'm going to have to go get those products! Haha, I was totally going to ask what lash lengthing serum you used until you brought out the false lash case :)

[MakeupByAlli]

@83pavs Lol oh yes i love those revlon falsies...I'm wearing them right now as I'm typing this reply haha

[sarababe74]

This tutorial just gave me a great way to apply liner to the upper waterline, which I've always been so afraid of and could never ever do! The way you did it with the Loreal liner looks much easier! I'm going to have to get that liner :D

[glossflipflops]

Love this, great tutorial. Your lashes look amazing, they remind me a lot of TiffanyDs and her lashes are so pretty and long!

[gennaromariagrazia]

wow una sola parola: '' Fantastico '' sei davvero molto molto brava!!! :) :) :)

[alwaysawesome54]

You have the PERFECT smokey eye. And now I do too :D

[RatlosAlleVergeben]

which sharpener do you use?? It seems to make a longer pencil tip I have ever seen. 

[MakeupByAlli]

@RatlosAlleVergeben It comes with one when you buy it :)

[fluffxo]

you know they say that everyone has a twin in the world somewhere? well katie cassidy is yours!

[cybc77]

Thanks for using that liner. I've seen it and didn't know how to use it

[alisa13897lucky]

beautiful as always. i always try your looks, they are so nice !:)

xxx <3

[karybelle515]

love this urr so pretty. im looking for these color tattoo and infallible eyeshadows. they seem amazing. love this look

[MUZICAMANI]

so beautiful makeup . Thanks

[makeupcraze21]

yes please do a vid on the lashes I bought them when they were 75% off and having trouble keeping them on or just putting them on. lol would really appreciate it

[MakeupByAlli]

@makeupcraze21 I just filmed it today! Should be going up this weekend :)

[DaleneB]

Would love to see a more dramatic smoky eye tutorial they all seem very minimal to me , can barley make out and e/s in this on , I know its about the lashes though. Just a suggestion

[lacette1]

I wonder if i'm color blind because instead of brown cocoa color I see purple?

[MakeupByAlli]

@lacette1 Hmm I think it's because I layered it over a purple shadow? I don't know sometimes the eyeliner in my photos for tutorials comes out looking a little purple too...weird.

[heykarez]

ive been looking all over for this type of look! thank you so much! :)

[MSDP1258]

Ima try this :D

[fayethailand]

i like this vid the most! cuz you used mostly cheap products!

[pinknails517]

you have virtually perfected the smokey eye!

[balletandpinkroses]

Your lashes are insanely gorgeous..I am so jealous!! hehe :) <3

[coquibaby]

Love this look!

[piggiesmalls4]

your eye color is...magical

[dancedancelove]

Soo helpful, you're gorgeous!!

[sweetietears]

Somehow the Loreal Infillable looks purple to me or maybe it is because of the Mac eyeshadows she used before which is grey purple. Nice look and love it. Thanks

[getyourownbeer]

I LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU!

[samanthak2205]

i don't see how people think that you have done similar tutorials before... you definitely have your own unique way of applying makeup, but i've seen lots of difference in the tutorials you put up! some gurus do a million variations of a neutral eye, and you definitely don't do that! keep up the great work :)

[MakeupByAlli]

@samanthak2205 Thank you!! I know not everybody likes EVERY look that would be a little too much to ask...but I'm really happy that you like it! ;)

[lolatightschloe]

So awesome! Thank you

[ssb888ssb]

sooo pretty!

[lbgirlie707]

love this! but it's so weird. your eyeshadow looks purple not brown. at first i was like haven't you already done a purple smokey eye? lol. still really like this. i love the way you do your smokey eye. i've been doing mine like that because of you and i absolutely love it!

[missdior2cherie]

@cheeringeagle

[singe409]

Your hair looks amazing...it is making me want to purchase the WEN hair care system.

[littlecoon2]

i do my eye makeup similar to the techniques you show in your videos everyday now, I would have never used shadow along the upper lash line had it not been for you haha :)

[catherinecuti3]

Awesome tutorial using drugstore products! Love this!!

[cozmosiss143]

You explain things SO well, and I really appreciate that! You're tips are by FAR the best, and I use them on a daily basis. I was still struggling with my makeup application a little bit until I came across your vids, so thank you :)

[beautyluvr3395]

this is beautiful but I feel like you've totally done this before like mulitiple times.. All your tutorials are almost the same. but don't get me wrong they are all beautiful :)

[beautyincrescendo]

@beautyluvr3395 Seriously? I cannot think of an observation further from the truth. This channel has the most original, innovative, and yet practical tutorials out there. Alli, never stop sharing any and every trick like this that you have up your sleeve. I don't know how you come up with them all...you are a wealth of ideas, tips, and tricks that are ingenious, as well as gorgeous!!! We are the beneficiaries of your creativity and intuitive beauty sense. Best YouTuber out there. Period.

[yamapsaikou]

@beautyincrescendo omg chill.... you're totally overreacting here..

[erinlovesheadbands]

@beautyincrescendo i agree with both of you to a point. i feel like a lot of the ideas are good but the majority of the eyeshadow looks are the same shape which doesn't work on everyone's eyes.

[beautyluvr3395]

@beautyincrescendo If you look at her tutorials on her channel the majority of them are smokey eyes or smudgy smokey eyeliner or lashes.  Honestly her tutorials could be more colorful and creative sometimes. i'm not trying to be rude or mean. Just making a suggestion. I love Alli! She's gorgeous and very talented! I have been watching her for a while and will continue

[jennadancer7]

@beautyincrescendo I didn't write the comment you replied to, but I'd like to reply to your comment. I didn't personally get the impression that beautyluvr3395 wrote that comment rudely. She didn't seem frustrated or mean-spirited in my opinion. She seemed to simply be giving her constructive criticism, which is very helpful for Youtubers and gurus to make videos their viewers are interested in. Many of her viewers seem to agree with the comment, but all probably still love and support Alli. :)

[harrypotterlover1122]

@beautyincrescendo jeeze @beautyluvr3395 was just giving her opinion there's no need to freak out on her. :P

[brunhofer]

@beautyincrescendo Absolutely agreed!

[MakeupByAlli]

@beautyincrescendo Wow thank you so much for the amazing support I can't even tell you how much it means to me :) I just try to make videos that I would like to see and hope that my subscribers will like to see it too!

[brunhofer]

@beautyluvr3395 I think that they all just have the same very sultry effect. The methods used to reach that are very different, though

[MakeupByAlli]

@beautyluvr3395 In the future I'll try to switch it up a bit and try to keep you on your toes ;) haha thanks for the comment!

[shabbydeb]

Sooo pretty ~ looks gorgeous on you. Thanks bunches for sharing!! Debbie in Chicago
