Ok, ok. So we just about all of us females know how difficult it can be to get the "perfect" winged eyeliner.
It's either too short, too sloppy, too long, too high, uneven, or just a total trainwreck. Am I right, ladies?
Oh, but wait.
I have recently discovered an amazing teqnique that will blow. your. mind.
Here's the trick:
Tape.
That's it!
I don't know why it's taken me so long to figure this out. It's genius!
So, instead of explaining this process in a jumble of words (I am terrible at explaining things like this, I will admit.), I'm just going to show you.
(warning: my skin is nowhere near perfect. I'm human, too, believe it or not!)
Step 1: Grab your favorite eyeliner.
I use elf liquid eyeliner, but you are certainly free to use any other type, if you'd like.
Step 2: The tape.
Rip off a small piece of tape (about 1-2 inches.) and stick it on your face! Try to follow your bottom lash line.
and here's where the fun begins. ;)
Step 3: The liner.
I like to start with the wing and go in, but that is definitely optional.
Here's a tip: the key to great liner is small strokes. One long stoke can cause you to lose control and turn your perfect liner into a catastrophe!! (ok, maybe I'm being a little dramatic.)
Step 4: Continue the line, then wing it!
Some people like to go only halfway when they line their lash line, and that's great! But I prefer to go all the way in.
Try to make a "V" shape with your wing, filling it in completely.
Step 5: Remove the tape.
Gently remove the tape, careful not to mess up the wing.
Step 6: Revise.
After you've removed the tape, go back in and fix and mess-ups you could might have made. You can also thicken the wing, depending on how dramatic you want your eye makeup to look. Don't forget to fill everything in!
Step 7: The finished product.
And voila! Put on some mascara and any other eye makeup you want, and you're done!
p.s..I use Maybelline New York's Volum' Express The Rocket Mascara. :)
Hope this helped at least some of y'all!
Big loves, Bethany x
