Want to create the perfect winged eyeliner? Take your eyeliner (or eyeliner brush) and angle it from the tip of your nostril up to the end of your eyebrow. Follow this angle to prevent a sagging lid. I use Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner in True Black with the MAC Precise Eye Liner Brush 210. Position a mirror so you are looking down at yourself. Start at the inner corner of the eye as close to the lash line as possible. Move with slow, steady strokes to the outer edge. Before you reach the end of your lash line, start your wing up toward the tip of your brow. Draw the angle first then pull from the wing tip back towards your lash line, forming a skinny triangle. Fill in the middle with your liner being careful to not go outside the lines. Make your tip as long or as thick as you like but take time to get a nice point at the end. Voila!

ReplyDeletequestion along the lines of eyeliner: i just use cover girl perfect point plus (automatically sharpens) and that's the only thing I use on my eyes (no shadow or mascara), however, i find as the day goes on my eyeliner smudges from the oil on my eyelids and creates a crease/line on my upper lids. is there anything i can do/any product i can use to prevent this?
ReplyDeleteFor the eyeliner question, there are several remedies to this problem. You can apply an eyelid primer before your eyeliner to prevent oil buildup on the eyelid. I like Nars Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base because it is clear. You can also use a neutral eyeshadow, such as Mac Brule, on the eyelid and then apply the eyeliner. Lastly, it may be because your eyeliner is not built to last all day. Eyeliners that will most likely stay in place and create a very defined line are gel or liquid based liners, which yours is not. If you are going for a softer line, you can use a gel or liquid based eyeliner first and then a black shadow on top of the liner for a softer effect.
