Ok, guys! So sorry for the delay but here is my version of the winged eye. I really tried to upload a video but for some reason I am having major issues doing so! I'm really surprised at how much I liked this look! Normally, I am not a liquid liner kinda gal which was why this was a look I wanted to tweak and make work for me. So I followed the directions that the article had (the one's I blogged about last week) to the tee and as you can see in the 4th picture is what I was left with :/. The result that I had is exactly the reason why I do not usually like the liquid liner! Unless you have a very steady hand, I think it verge on looking cheap and trashy, hence picture 4. However, I do love the instense look you can only get from a liquid liner (done right, that is!). So I decided to also use a black eye lining pencil to line the inner lower lash line and fill in any gaps. I LOVED the combination of the 2 liners together! I live in a very hot area and by the end of the day pencil liner alone has usually smudged off but with this combo I got the rich intensity that I love from a liquid liner but it still looked clean & precise! And better yet, it wore all day without any smudging!
As you can see from the pic, I opted to not do a real exaggerated wing but now that I got the application down, I'm thinking I will!
If you are not a fan of liquid liner but love the intensity you get from one, try this technique-you will love the results!
Products I used:
Maybelline Line Stiletto in Blackest Black
Maybelline Lash Stiletto in Black
Powderliner Pencil in Coal
MAC Shadow in Amber Lights
Laura Mercier Undercover Pot Concealer
Your eye color is gorgeous! Great wing :)

ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDelete@Emmie- yes I do! at first I wasn't so sure cause i like a firmer tip on my pen/marker but I found that if I hold it closer to the base I get better control. And I love that it lasts all day! Thanks for the suggestion!
