Sexy and flirtatious at the same time, the extremely flattering winged eye look is a favorite with celebrities and fashionistas around the world. The best part is that it can be achieved easily at home without the need to visit a parlor or beautician. Accordingly, here are the steps you would need to follow if you want to get the glamorous winged eye look.
Accessories Needed
- Foundation, Concealer or Eyebrow Primer
- Liquid, Cream or Gel Eyeliner
- 2 Angled Brushes
Directions
Apply some concealer, primer or foundation to the eyelid, including the areas around the eye as well. This would reduce redness in the area and provide the perfect base for the eyeliner. Now dip one of the angled brushes into the cream/liquid/gel eyeliner, making sure you get an ample amount of the liner on the brush. Mold the tip of the brush to create a sharp, focal point (you can use the back of your hand for the same purpose).
Gently draw a line on your eyelid, starting from the outer corner of the eye. This will help you ascertain the required size of the flick. You can pull the eye taut in order to a get a smooth line as you move inwards.
Next, start from the inner corner of the eyelid and draw a line very close to the last line. Pull the eye taut to get a smooth line this time as well. As you near the outer corner of the eye, gently join the lash line with the line you drew from the outer corner. This would create the basic outline.
Apply some more liner on the brush and gently fill the gaps in between both lines. Opt for smaller strokes as bigger ones would look stretched. Use the other angled brush and a concealer to hide or wipe out any mistakes you may have made.
