Starting from the inner corner of the upper eyelid, follow the natural lash line. If you are looking for a  shaded effect use either the smudger on the other end of the pencil, or the Eye Blending Brush, by Pupa. Do the same on the lower eyelid.
The shading works as a base for the eyeshadow: it helps increase its hold and allows a homogeneous application. The pencil can be applied on the waterline, as well, for an intense kajal effect.
