Wing It

June 25, 2013

The look.

Your friends will be impressed, your dates will think you dreamy, and a MAC girl might even compliment your work.

What you need:

Whatever method of eyeliner application you feel comfortable with will work for this trick. I chose to use use an angled brush from MAC and their Blacktrack Fluidline.

You'll also need a piece of scotch tape, roughly an inch long.

Step 1: Set it up.

First and foremost start with a clean eye. Remove all leftover makeup, including mascara. Once you’ve got a fresh palette, put on whatever foundation, concealer, or powders you regularly apply around your eye area so you don’t run the risk of dulling you

Step 2: Draw the line.

From corner to corner, draw a basic line at the on your top lid as you regularly would when applying eyeliner. Keep it thin and simple; you can always add more when you’re finished.

Step 3: Tape time.

Get your piece of tape and apply it to the corner of your eye, just at the edge of your lid, going diagonally to the end of your eyebrow.

Tip: Stick the tape to your shirt a few times to remove some of the stickiness before putting

Step 4: Grand finale.

Remove the tape and see your perfect winged eyeliner, then repeat these steps on the other side. Touch up the area as needed.

Et voilà!

You're set.

Unless your mom is Dita Von Teese, she probably didn't teach you how to wing your eyeliner like a champ. Fear no more, my friends, I've got the secret and I'm ready to share.
