How to do a double wing eyeliner
•
Start with a totally bare eyelid to create the base for the
winged eye.
•
It’s important to go for a gel eyeliner. This allows you
more precision than liquid eyeliners.
•
Pull the skin taut at the outer eye, look down and using
a flat brush, apply liner into lash line itself on top eyelid,
in between root of lashes.
•
Taking the line from the inner corner of the eye, put
color in lash line all the way to outer corner of eye.
•
Close eye; pull lid towards ear so skin is taut.
•
Repeat base step; this time apply liner along upper lash
line just above the lashes.
•
Go over the existing line several times to build up inten
sity.
•
Keep line thinner towards inside of eye; make it thicker
towards outer eye, ensuring you follow eye’s natural
shape.
•
If you are doing a long wing, follow angle from bottom
outer corner of eye; elongate in a single sweep outwards
towards top of ear to give a winged eye that suits your
face shape.
•
If you’re nervous of doing this in one single sweep, ex
tend eyeliner from point where you just stopped at outer
corner.
•
Try to avoid doing this in small strokes.
•
For a shorter wing, extend liner from last outer corner
lash towards where your eyebrow ends. This will ensure
the correct wing and won’t make your eye droop.
•
The line should taper off to a fine tip so that it looks fe
line.
•
A winged effect can also be created with eyeshadow.
•
Layer eye shades, starting with a paler shade, then slowly
increase intensity, adding a deeper color up to the crease
of the eyelid, taking it right into corner of eye and out
towards the edge of eyebrow.
•
Concentrate on crease of eyelid and layer shadow deeply
for a dramatic effect. This is a stronger look and the wing
is much thicker and more striking.
•
Complete look by taking eyeshadow underneath your
bottom lashes to right from inside corner of the eye, and
following sweep of the wing.
•
Complete look with lots of mascara, after curling eye
lashes.
