Everybody luuurves Johnny Cash, however I also adore Empress of Fur, the Nekromantix as well as Tiger Army. Sadly, 1950s-inspired hairstyles as well as attire are difficult to keep up with on the day-to-day, particularly as a expert as well as a mom, so I a lot of frequently indulge my affinity for this “look” by applying a great huge winged feline eye.

I keep a close enjoy on this wing of mine,

I keep my feline eye flicked out all the time, 

I pick a long enduring liner formula to bind,

This eye look’s mine…so I walk the line.

Tools of the trade: (L-R): Scotch Tape, Clio water resistant Pen liner in kill Black, Kat Von D Tattoo liner in Trooper, Tarte So fine Microliner, as well dealt with best Eyes water resistant liner in Black, Cynthia Rowley liner in Black an Laura Mercier Black Karat Baked Eyeshadow

Ah, the great ol’ “Scotch Tape trick.” To be sincere with you, for an age I believed this was a bit of an absurd application method. Nowadays, though, while I don’t discover this to be functional when I’m applying a little wing, I do gravitate to it for efficacy as well as clean lines when I want a “go huge or go home” feline eye.

I begin by angling the tape toward the point at the end of each eyebrow’s wing (using the end of your eyebrow as a guide will assist you keep both wings even).

Then I take a creamy pencil liner (my preferred is as well dealt with best Eyes water resistant liner in Black $18), as well as smudge it along my lash line as well as the top of the Scotch Tape, ending the smudge where I want the wing’s point to stop.

The finest part of this is that you can be as untidy as you want! now isn’t the time for perfection. You’re producing a general blueprint for a look you’ll clean up later.

Once both eyes are smudged as well as complete, I take a gander at exactly how even the two wings look in the mirror. If I’m satisfied, I carefully eliminate the scotch tape as well as begin to clean up the feline eye — sharpening lines as well as pulling the general look toward the inner corner of my eye — with a liquid liner pen. like lots of other liquid liner lovers, I can’t get sufficient of Kat Von D’s Tattoo Liners. These are a few of the very best liquid liners I’ve ever had the enjoyment of using, as well as Trooper, which retails for $19, has never let me down.

Step 1: applying a rough outline of my Rockabilly Winged liner with a liner pencil as well as the aide of Scotch Tape
Step 2: Scotch Tape removed, I touch up my untidy pencil liner with liquid liner to produce a a lot more exact wing.
My preferred part? Sweet, even winged liner satisfaction! thanks to the Scotch Tape as well as the liquid liner precision work, I’m entrusted to two even, lash-thickening wings that aren’t rather Winehouse however are absolutely Rockabilly chic.

I extremely frequently leave it alone at this point as well as run some matte brown with my crease for definition…

But who ever stated that you had to leave well sufficient alone? Why stop at matte black winged liner when you can jazz it up with a bit shimmer? I don’t personally like as well much overt glitter, so Laura Mercier’s Baked Eyeshadow in Black Karat ($25 each) has long been a subtle, yet shimmery, eye lining preferred of mine.

I dip a precision lining clean in a mixing medium (MAC repair plus as well as Inglot Duraline both work, however warm water is a girl’s affordable finest friend) as well as wet the shadow, then paint it over the black liner I’ve already εφαρμοσμένος. The pre-applied black supplies a base that makes Black Karat pop, as well as the result is shimmering however daytime-appropriate winged perfection.

Step 3: For added oomph, I like to take my Rockabilly Wing to the next level with Laura Mercier’s Black Karat Baked Eye shadow as well as a liner brush.
For the extreme Rockabilly Wing, this technique has always been my finest friend. Ακόμη και σε χαμηλές κρίσιμες μέρες, όταν θέλω απλώς μια μικρή πτέρυγα να επιλέξει τη σκιά μου, θα προχωρήσω πολύ πρώτα με το μολύβι, καθώς και στη συνέχεια να πάω με υγρό. Κάνει την παραγωγή του σχήματος πολύ πιο προσιτό για τους αρχάριους που εκφοβίζονται από την ακρίβεια ότι απαιτείται συχνά η υγρή επένδυση.

Έτσι, φοβερές γάτες, ακριβώς πώς περπατάτε τη γραμμή; Εφαρμόζετε το Liner Freehand σας ή χρησιμοποιείτε έναν οδηγό για την παραγωγή της πτέρυγας σας; Προσπαθώ πάντα να βρω ιδέες καθώς και τεχνικές σε αυτή την εμφάνιση “υπογραφή”!
