HOW TO DO OPEN WINGED LINER STEP 2: CREATE A WINGED EYE
Now, draw a clean line of black eyeliner along the top lash line, extending dramatically at the outer corners of eyes. Create a bold, exaggerated shape by defining the inner corners of eyes with liner, too. Finally, line the inner and outer edges of the lower lash line only, leaving a gap in the center.

HOW TO DO OPEN WINGED LINER STEP 3: FILL IN THE GAPS
Take the same shade that you applied to lids and gently pat color in the gap on your lower lash line.

SWITCH UP THE SHADES
If you're not a pink person, swap it out for a shimmery gold shadow. It's more neutral, but equally festive looking!
-
STICK WITH BLACK LINER
Use the same shade of eyeliner, black or a rich, dark shade, as mentioned in the steps above.
