So happy you have this up. I have a 50’s Style bachellorette in two weeks and need to try a few make-up styles. This will be a great look.

Winged liner is my go to look when I feel like spending a bit more time on my eyes to get amazing results. It makes my eyes pop and I love the fun look at adds without being over the top.
