This is something I like to do for people who don’t have the
time to sift through all kinds of “gurus” on YouTube trying to find something
useful that they can apply to their daily makeup routine. I watch all kinds of videos online and I know how hard it can be to come across something that isn't too specific to the look, but rather educational. I'm going to
highlight videos that deal with an issue I’ve come across or been asked about that are more "How to".
For the post, I’ve chosen 2 videos that kind of give you the basics of doing a winged liner. Because of my eye shape, it’s been a process trying to figure out the best way to do them. I have hooded, almond shaped eyes which water easily so even when I get the wing, it washes away. Here are some videos that helped me figure things out a little more.
The first video is by Michelle Phan. She
explains different liquid liners and tips that are available so you know the
difference. Also, she shows you more than one technique so it really doesn’t
force you into doing it one way, considering my eyes NEVER follow conventional
“rules of application”. One thing she doesn’t really emphasize but you might
want to pay attention to is how she holds the liner. When I first started using
liquid liners, I was using them like a pen, pointing them straight at my eyes
and using the tip to color. Use the edge of the brush/tip and drag. That
has to be the best tip I could pass on about getting eyeliner looking right.
With that said, here’s the video:
The second video comes from Jaclyn Hill. In this demo, she’s
not using liquid but GEL Liner which is easily attainable at your local
drugstores. It gives you the look of liquid without the hassle and, from my
experience, has more staying power. Downside to it is that it really does
depend on the kind of brush you use… whereas liquid liners are just use it and
go. I have a gel liner and a crappy brush and I NEVER used it. Then I happened
upon a brush that I have no idea what to do with, used it in the gel liner and
POW! It’s my favorite. Still, Jaclyn gives you techniques to using the product
and how to get a dramatic cat/winged eyeliner look. Here’s her video:
Hope these helped! Feel free to ask any
questions you may have and I will do my best to answer to the best of my
knowledge. I might even research it and use your question as my next YouTube
Tip. Thanks for checking in!
