A smoky eye is our foolproof choice when we want a makeup look that accentuates our inner confidence. This soft glam effect strikes the perfect balance between sultry and playful. Recently, a new variation has emerged, adding an unexpected twist to this iconic style… Enter the double-winged eyeliner effect. Although it doesn’t take much more effort than your standard winged liner or smokey eye makeup, the outcome is truly captivating. If you’re eager to make a statement and turn heads wherever you go, perfecting the double-winged eyeliner is a must.
This makeup trend can be recreated with a liquid liner, a pencil, and an eyeshadow combination that is way more delicate and suitable for every day. After applying eyeshadow primer, sweep a matte brown eyeshadow all over the lids, blending up towards your crease. With a waterproof black eyeliner pencil, like SEPHORA COLLECTION Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil or KVD Beauty Tattoo Pencil Liner Waterproof Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, you are going to carefully tightline both your upper and lower waterline. Now, it’s time for the main event. Using an angled brush, dip this into a black eyeshadow and draw a wing. Repeat on the lower lash line so both lines are parallel to one another.
Et voila! Believe it or not, that’s all there is to the double-winged eyeliner look. It looks significantly more complicated than it is. As a few final touches, you can curl your lashes and coat them with your favorite mascara. Although optional, we highly recommend you finish with a setting spray to ensure the double-winged effect doesn’t smudge throughout the night.
