This is probably my all time favorite look. It's a timeless, classic shape that is suitable for most. You can go as dramatic as I do, or more toned down to suit your eye shape and general style.
This is probably my all time favorite look. It's a timeless, classic shape that is suitable for most. You can go as dramatic as I do, or more toned down to suit your eye shape and general style.
To begin, prime your eyelids with an eye primer. My favorite is the Urban Decay Primer Potion. Once lids are primed, apply a light, nude color on your entire lid using a flat eyeshadow brush. I used MAC eyeshadow in Blanc Type.
Next, use a fluffy blending brush to apply a medium toned brown to the crease. I used MAC eyeshadow in Quarry.
Use a slightly darker brown eyeshadow in the crease to create more depth. I used MAC eyeshadow in Embark.
Start your eyeliner in the center of your eye. Establish the thickness of the line now. I fids it easiest to use a gel eyeliner. I used Makeup Artist Network ultimate crème liner in Blackness.
Fill in the inner part of the eye. Taper the line thinner toward the tear duct.
Begin your wing starting from the outer corner of your waterline upward. As a helpful tip you can use a brush handle or business card to create a sharp line. This line will be he bottom of your wing.
From the tip of the wing, draw inwards towards your lid.
Once you've traced inward it should look like this.
Fill in the wing. I also slightly extended my inner corner to look a little more elongated. Apply mascara.
Finish off the look with false lashes and a light cream colored pencil in your waterline.
