Winged liners are likely to be the biggest trend this season says this make-up artist to the stars; according to the occasion-and time of day-use a subtle or dramatic liner. “Of course there are lots of methods to line eyes. “You could just line the very best lash line or underneath or simply tight line the inner waterline, all depending on your mood that day.” And there are those that like all three, integrating all three lines right into a sharp and gorgeous wing!
1. SHAPE ‘EM RIGHT
Start by rimming the inner water line with a black gel liner rather than a kajal or kohl liner as the latter will slowly smudge throughout the evening. For Sonam’s wow worthy Gayatri Devi Indian look at Cannes, Soni used a light brown eye pencil to get the shape right and then filled it in with a liquid or gel eyeliner. To create a pro worthy wing, Soni says the first trick is to lift your upper lid up gently and line the upper inner waterline too. Then blink your lids together to merge the two. Next line your bottom lash line.
2. WING IT JUST LIKE A PRO
“It’s very important to line your bottom lash before your top since the bottom angle determines the very best wing’s angle. Start at your inner corner and sweep the liner across to the outer corner. Then continue tracing along the angle where in fact the outside lower lid turns upward as you drag the brush/pencil towards the end of your brow. “Then starting again at your inner corner, line your upper lash line, making sure it’s all one width and doesn’t get thicker as you may do with other looks. When you reach the end of the eye, continue past it until you intersect with underneath line. Make sure to go back and fill in any spaces so that every millimeter has been painted black no skin is showing through.”
3. FORGET BORING BLACK, COLOR’S THE IDEAL SOLUTION
Eyeliners have come quite a distance. Forget boring black and enter the world of color. “Turquoise liners look stunning with dark eyes,” says Soni. Add funk to your look by tight lining the upper and lower lash line with turquoise. After smudging the color to soften, underline with black liner and smudge once more, blending the corners really well. Next smudge the outer corner of the most notable and bottom lashes with another coat of turquoise liner, finishing up with lashings of mascara. “Dual toned eyeliners look lovely. Besides blue-black, try bronzed gold and moss green, or any other combination you fancy
4. GLIDE ON SOME KOHL.
Kajal has come old and its new gen version the kohl pencil has all of the beauty of kajal without its mess and spillage worries. “More adventurous gals can pick from lakme kajal formulations in metallic and matte solid finishes. Actually, they’re amazing for smudging with your fingertips or even with a cotton bud, creating more of a frame than a line,” says Soni. She suggests getting between lashes and even the waterline for a sharper look. “Kohl liners are excellent for giving a softer look because they blend easily and are very safe for to use even on the waterline. The secret, says this make-up pro, is to use the point of the pencil held at a 90 degree angle for a thin line. “For a thicker line, slant the pencil to a 45-degree angle, using more of the side of the end of the pencil. Feel absolve to test out the angle of the pencil as make-up is momentary and you could wipe it off and try again if you don’t just like the final look. If you prefer a slimmer line, sharpen the kohl adhere to create precise lines. Soni shares a cool trick: “For a smoky line, heat the tip of your kohl stick near your light bulb.” Finally finish with a coat of mascara and fill up brows but keep lip and cheek colours muted in peachy pink therefore the look isn’t too loud.
