FLOATING EYELINER LOOK #2: HOVERING HORIZONTAL LINE

FLOATING EYELINER LOOK #3: NEGATIVE SPACE LINER

"This look is definitely my favorite! I love the modern 60’s approach to the floating eyeliner trend. Pro-tip: I like to start out by having a traditional wing liner already done so you can ensure even application and shape."

FLOATING EYELINER LOOK #4: DOUBLE ARROW-ENDED WING

"The double arrow floating liner look is definitely the most unique but super fun! If you’re doing this at home, I would start by creating the initial arrow with negative space on the outer corner of your eyes and fill in to create the perfect arrow. From there, outline the original arrow and don’t be afraid to flip the brush to get perfect precision!"

FLOATING EYELINER LOOK #5: TRADITIONAL WINGED LINER

"I love a wing that is straight and elongates the eyes to make them more “cat like”. To create the perfect straight wing, begin with your eyes open and starting from the outer crease create a straight line, connect the top with your eyes still open to ensure it’s not tilting up and staying straight. This will give you the “Bat Eyeliner” effect. Once the shape is created, use an extremely light hand and lightly flick out for the perfect point!"
