 was once considered medicine. It's time to sprinkle a little substance into our beauty routines. By learning the roots of your favorite trends, who history's earliest trendsetters were, and how to rock the looks they inspired. Sheep mass! Before it's over, you'll be asking, am I bra with that? Eyeliner can be traced back to ancient civilizations in North Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East. And now the highlights of eyeliner history in under 60 seconds. Egyptian male and female trendsetters lined their eyes with a substance called coal. They believed it improved eyesight, combated glare from the sun, and even fought off disease. The Egyptians loved their coal pallets so much that they even had it buried with them in their tombs. Other ancient cultures applied coal beginning at infancy to ward off evil spirits and protect their eyes from dust. Eyeliner even pops up in the Bible, which warns of seductresses like Jezebel, who would paint her eyes black to entice men. But black eyeliner wasn't just for sex appeal and sun protection. The gaseous of 18th century Japan also considered it a makeup must have. They used thick charcoal lines to make their eyes pop against their white face powder and red lips. In the early 20th century, Americans started embracing heavy eyeliner following two major ancient Egyptian discoveries. That's right, we can thank a bust of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti and King Tut's tomb for taking our eyes from day to night. Those discoveries brought us into a new fashion era and the rest is history. The type of eyeliner you rock can be based on a bunch of different things, from your face and eye shape to even your cultural heritage. My family is from Bangladesh and we wear an eyeliner called Gajel. So today I'm gonna show you how to apply it. Let's go. So I am so excited to explore eyeliner with you guys today. What should I start with? There's so many options, I don't know. There are so many options of eyeliners, it's ridiculous. And there's so many ways you can play with eyeliner to fit your makeup routine. You can obviously go the standard pencil eyeliner route and you can actually do your full eyeliner look with just a pencil. Totally easy, totally doable and the most affordable. And then there are gel eyeliners, there's liquid eyeliners, but today we're not gonna play with those because they are a little bit more advanced. I wanna show you an easy way that you can smoke out your look. All we need is a gajel. And I picked this one because it's chunky so it's really, really simple to use. I might call it Gajel, I might call it eyeliner. It's essentially the same thing, it interchanges, but Gajel is a specific type of eyeliner predominantly used in South Asia. Everyone cannot leave the house without eyeliner on. And I'll tell my mom, we've gotta go and she's like, wait, my eyeliner. And I'm like, you don't even have foundation on. But it's okay for her because if she has eyeliner on, then she feels like she can conquer the day. Makes me think of my mom, great memories growing up. I mean, I wasn't allowed to wear makeup, but your girl was allowed to wear this. This was not even considered like makeup. It was just a way of accessorizing your face, intensifying your eyes, embracing your beautiful brown eyes. So I'm going to show you how you can make your eyes an invitation to your stole. This is gonna get fun. I'm gliding it on my waterline. It looks like so soft and buttery, no tugging, no fuss. All of a sudden, I'm Princess Jasmine. It's just that beautiful. Man, I should wear eyeliner more often. This is so smoky and inviting and alluring. This is beautiful and fresh and radiant, but each has a different invitation. You can leave it like this, this is beautiful, or you can add it to your lower lash line and make it even more intense. And I'm going to do that on the outer half of my lower lash line. So starting from the center, glide this on my lower lash line. And I'm gonna wing it out a smidge, okay? This looks kind of messy and I'm gonna show you guys right now how to blend that out. I'm gonna go with this dome-shaped brush. All right, we're gonna smudge. And this diffuses that eyeliner, but also keeps a lot of pigment and looks really gorgeous. This makes a significant difference. I think this is really daytime and this can be very nice. Ba-ba-boom kind of night. Oh my God, I'm so obsessed. Now that you can see the drastic difference, I'm gonna go ahead and complete this eye and it's super easy. In case you make your eyes look a bit too smudgy and you feel like all of a sudden you look like you've been crying for 10 years, all you need to do is take a concealer brush and clean up. So I'm just going to lightly clean. And do you see how all of a sudden, it looks like I have a really pretty smoked out wing? All right, the final step is just adding a bit of mascara to clean up the look and finish it off. I slayed this eyeliner look. I feel so confident and I just feel like beautiful. I'm so happy I got to show you how I wear gajel and share a little bit of my culture as well. I wanna know in the comments below, what kind of eyeliner do you prefer?
