MAKEUP TIPS - The Eyeliners Story Winged Liner / Kitten Flick For Hooded Eyelids

Hi Lovelies,

Have you ever watched makeup tutorial on Youtube on how to do your super sexy feline winged eyeliner and get sooooo (notice the o's?) inspired by it and the cat woman in you suddenly roaring to be awaken? you even start planning on the outfit that you will wear with your super sexy cat eyeliner look only to be awaken with reality after an hour or so later with all eyeliners that you owned sprawling on top of your vanity table, all eyeliner brushes that you can think of is crusted with dry liners, and you sitting staring at them all with all hope on looking catty all gone to ashes, with eyelids sore and red from all the rubbing and smeared liners up to your cheeks.

While sitting there you probably wondering what did you do wrong? You followed every steps carefully, bought all the liners that the beauty gurus in Youtube swear by.. well let me tell you what I learned by the hard way.  there is a few reasons why you failed big time.

While most 'Beauty Guru' in Youtube that offering tutorial on how to do winged eyeliners have the perfect deep set eyes that just made for makeup application, most of us do not have the same eye shape as the. So choosing which tutorial to follow as guide is very important. Try search for tutorial that is made by someone with similar eye shapes as yours.Thus saying this knowing your own eye shapes is the 1st matter to remember.

The second matter is accepting that we hooded eyes beauties will never be able to wear that super winged cat eyeliner look, we still able to rock eyeliners with some adjustment made depends on where the fold of our lids is and how heavy the hood is.

Now we just need that OOTD

As I get into my 30's I do noticed that my eyelids fold is heavier than it used to be, and as much I do not want to admit it.. It is obvious I have hooded eyelids. Luckily for me because I love makeup and always experimenting with it, changing my eyeliners shape to suit my eyes came naturally for me. Below are the before & after photos of me. I love wearing this kitten flick liner and I usually changed the intensity depending on the eye shadow look I have going on.

Before & After Photo

Rather than winged it up towards my temple, I avoided the fold of my eyelids by bringing the liners more of a straight line and stop just before where I want the end of my liner to be. As I personally have an almond shape eyes, I usually start from the middle of my eyelids, making sure I make the line as fine as possible and bit thicker on the outer corner. This way I will have lids space for my eyeshadow colour placement and avoiding the black eyed look.
