EYELINER 101

HOW TO DO WINGED EYELINER

This glamorous, super-elongated eyeliner look is tailor made for today’s face mask wearing days and nights. To get the clean, rich lines this look requires, Maybelline New York advises “sketching” on eyeliner first with an easy to use pencil, then layering your liquid liner over that. This creates extra-rich, high-impact eye color that looks incredible and stands up to all kinds of elements.

WINGED EYELINER TUTORIAL STEP 1: PRIME LIDS WITH CONCEALER

Prep eye lids with a bit of concealer, which helps eyeshadow blend and keeps colors rich and true.

WINGED EYELINER TUTORIAL STEP 2: DRAW THE WING

Apply black eyeliner with an eyeliner pencil, starting at the outer corners of eyes first, winging the pencil out to make a glamorous, Sophia Loren-esque line. Then, line right along the lash line into the inner corners of eyes.

WINGED EYELINER TUTORIAL STEP 4: CREATE DEPTH & DIMENSION

Create depth and dimension to the eye with eyeshadow. If you have the Nudes of New York Eyeshadow Palette, buff the shade 'Protector' right into the crease, followed by 'Explorer' to further intensify the effect. For extra drama, add a touch of 'Voyager' to the outer corners of the crease. Whisk a touch of pale, neutral 'Soloist' right under your brows.

WINGED EYELINER TUTORIAL STEP 6: DEFINE THE LOWER LASH LINE

Now for the lower lash line! Apply brown eyeliner along lower lashes extending color out past the outer corners of eyes, so it’s parallel (but not meeting) your black eyeliner wing.
