Ingenious Colours And Forms For The Eyes

CUTTING corners

This winged eyeliner that stretches into the inner corners of the eye is “great for lifting, especially droopy eyes,” says makeup artist, John Lee. Use a gel liner like Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Fineliner Ultra Skinny Gel Eye Crayon in Code Blue ($34) to sketch the outer wing. Keeping a steady hand, inch the liner towards your nose bridge, aligning the liner parallel to your lower lash line. Then, fill in the space with Kat Von D’s Ink Well Long-Wear Matte Eyeliner in Darkwave ($32).

CREASE-free

While graphic cut creases can dramatically enliven the eye, it’s one that demands precise technique. To start, mark out the areas with eyeshadow shades from Urban Decay’s Naked Reloaded Palette ($71). Find the socket of your eye and draw a line along the crease with eyeshadow, ending with an upward flick. When the shape is set, run over with Hourglass 1.5mm Mechanical Gel Liner ($30).
