The Night Owl's Winged Eye

The Night Owl’s Winged Eye

May 13, 2013

Want a dramatic eye, but don’t want to bother with eyeshadow? Try doing a winged liner look, but take it a little further….

I used Inglot gel liner in #77, and angled MAC brush #263. I love this liner because it’s the blackest I’ve ever used and waterproof. This is my favorite brush because it’s very precise, and the synthetic hairs give a smooth and thin application.

Step 1. Starting with a matte eye, use your synthetic angle brush with the tip pointing away from the eye, to lay down your first line.
Step 2. Go back to the line, and drag the liner across the entire lid to the inside of the eye. The bigger the better, dont be scared! It’ll feel weird but it’ll look beautiful! Connect with the front of the eye.
Step 3. This will create an outline of your liner, so you can fix the shape or clean up any mistakes at this point. It’s much easier to correct the lines at this point rather than at the end.
Steps 4 & 5. Fill in!
Step 6. Apply black liner to your waterline
Step 7. Finish with a coat or two of your favorite mascara.
Voila!
