A Better Way . . . to apply eyeliner

I was listening to an interview recently with the makeup artist from American Idol. When asked what all women should wear on a daily basis she said, "eyeliner" - which was a shock to me since I have a love/hate relationship with eyeliner and still have a hard time putting it on correctly. She suggested that for an easy, soft every-day look, use an angled brush and apply a dark powder to the eyelash-line. 

I've been trying it the last few days and I love it! It is much more subtle than a liquid or even a pencil, but it still provides shape and definition for the eye. I use Stila's angled brush and Dior's Twilight compact's navy blue.
