I just worry about the mascara smudging
Well I simply cannot decide who looks best they are all gorgeous. This whole look looks a bit complicated but will give it a try. Holding thumbs it won’t be a disaster
Hi Monahadi. A winged eyeliner look can be worn during the day. To soften the look, keep the line rather small and the extended ‘wing’ section short and elegant. Paired with a bright pop of colour on the lips, this look is a great daytime look for summer.
I have never been able to do this properly, I must get a technique.
All very nice, will try that for a night out instead of work
I’m so scared of doing the wing look. I feel it’s a bit much? I am somewhat conservative when it come to make up which is something I would like to change. Is this a night look or can one pull it off during the day?
I think they all look great. But i have some doubts about the 1st pic on the top row. I feel her eyebrows are too arched. And the third pic in the bottom row I cant seem to focus on her eyes her smile seems to capture one’s full attention. Whenever I try the winged look it looks great for about 5 mins and then I somehow (always!) manage to smudge them and I end up with panda eyes :-( lol
Personally I’m not a big fan of the winged eye liner look unless its a special occasion “red carpet moment” which of course the above celebs can pull off. But for the rest of us, its one of those looks that can go horribly wrong and you run the risk of the dreaded raccoon look. Sometimes less is more.
Emma Stone’s eyeliner is my fave. I prefer if the bottom is extended to meet the top wing. To me it looks more complete.
Looks gorgeous! I’ve never been brave enough to try it though :(
