Applying Winged Liner to Eyes with Hooded and Downturned Angles

I have tried just about every technique for winged liner on my hooded and downturned eyes and this is the technique that works for me for perfectly every single time.

It gives me even and lifted eyes and liner and is super flattering on my maturing eyes and skin.

If you love the look of eyeshadow as your winged liner and want to keep using this method, then just make sure to set it with setting spray for longevity.

STEP 1

Wing Outline For this first step, I look straight ahead into the mirror. I draw an outline of winged liner exactly how I want it to look, going over the hooded portion of my eye.

STEP 2

Lining Lashes I like to start by lining 3/4 of my upper lash line, getting the liner as close as I can to my lashes. I stop at the outside of my iris (blue portion of my eye).

STEP 3

Connecting Liner + Wing After I outline the wing shape, I tilt my head back, looking down into my mirror and drawn a line to connect the lower part of the wing outline to my eye liner on the lid.

STEP 4

Fill In Make sure the liner is cohesive going down from the hooded portion of my eye all the way to my inner corner of my eye.

STEP 5

Crease Work Soften the geometric shape of the liner with either a bit of matching eyeshadow at the inside of the liner on your lid, where it “V’s”. This will create a smokier looking liner.
