Winged Eyeliner

As promised on my last post I am doing a quick tutorial on how I do my winged eyeliner. 

Winged eyeliner is a big statement for the 1950's style and is my default make up for everyday. Whether it be on it's own or with eye shadow it will always work for me.

I have used many different products for eyeliner, as I have been wearing it daily for around 3-4 years! But, for Christmas last year my mum bought me the Diorshow Art Pen and it is by far the best I have ever had. It has the perfect shape to quickly apply flicks, whether they be big or small.

At £24.50 it is a rather pricey product. But, considering I have had it since Christmas and I still have it shows it is a worth while investment.

Righty ho! So, start with drawing a line from the corner of your eye upwards, in the shape of the first picture. Make sure you don't start it too far out as it can make your eyes look too long and a bit funny. This line will determine the size of your flick, I like mine quite big but obviously it is completely up to you and depends what works for you!

Then, by starting just above of your first line, draw the second line. Draw backwards going towards your nose, use quite a lot of pressure so the pen doesn't stagger and create a messy line. Repeat until the line is to the desired thickness and then by pointing the pen towards your eye fill in the corner following the shape of your eye.

Then you just need to fill in the gap using the same technique as the second line. As you can see in this picture the pen is the perfect size to just do quick simple lines!

All done! Easy peasy lemon squeezy huh?

Remember girlies and guys, practice makes perfect!
