How to Apply Eyeliner: 10 Looks for Beginners and ProsWhether you want to know how to create a basic straight line, perfect your cat-eye, or learn creative new tricks, consider this your complete guide to all things eyeliner |
Advanced Eyeliner Look: '60s-inspired Winged Tip For this throwback to the '60s look, you'll need a black liquid liner (try Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, $18).
How to apply: Using the eyeliner, apply a thick line to your upper lashline, then angle it at the outer corner of your eye at 45 degrees, creating a dramatic winged tip until you hit your crease. Work the liquid liner into your crease from the winged tip. Expert tip: If you have oily lids, apply the eyeliner slightly above your crease to prevent the makeup from transferring. For an extra bold look, apply a matte, bright-colored eyeshadow to your lid before applying eyeliner.

This was nice and I'll probably be trying some of these. Others looked like they are only good for going out though.
