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!
