Don't get us wrong: we adore the master minimalist's natural makeup look. But, every now and again, when the mood hits, it's time for something truly spectacular. If you've mastered trends like glitter eyeshadow and crimson double-winged eyeliner, there's one more significant beauty trend you should try: Welcome to the world of double-winged eyeliner. This graphic makeup look is utterly out there in the greatest way, and it's also an eyeliner style that can be used in a million different ways.
Are you ready to attempt this
cutting-edge beauty trend? An easy double-winged eyeliner makeup lesson is
included below, as well as a few celebrity-approved ways to wear the look.
Lauren Berlingeri, a makeup artist
located in New Jersey, has worked with several high-end salons and luxury
beauty brands. She's done hair and makeup for weddings, New York Fashion Week,
New York Bridal Fashion Week, commercial shoots, and TV shows like "Say
Yes to the Dress."
How to Do Double-Winged Eyeliner,
Step-by-Step
You'll want to make sure you have
the correct product before you start learning how to perform double-winged
eyeliner. This makeup method truly only requires one product: a smudge-proof
eyeliner.
It's entirely up to you the type of
eyeliner you use to create your double wing; gel and pencil eyeliners both work
nicely depending on the wing design you're going for. A long-wear liquid
eyeliner, like the KVD VEGAN BEAUTY Tattoo Liner, will give you ultra-crisp,
super-saturated lines that make a significant effect most of the time. You
might even want to seek a waterproof eyeliner if you want to wear it for a long
time.
An eye shadow primer, your favorite
mascara, a couple Q-tips (for precise cleanup), and eye shadow are a few more
items you'll probably want to have on hand (if using).
Step 1: Prep the eye area
Makeup preparation is always
important, but it's more important when you're spending time and effort on a
look that emphasizes precise, defined lines. You don't want to spend 20 minutes
on a makeup look that smears as soon as you leave the house.
If you want to create an
eyeliner-only look (i.e. no eyeshadow), use an eyeliner brush to apply an eye
primer like THE BEAUTY CROP Stuck On You Eyeshadow Primer right along the lash
line and any other areas where you'll be placing liner.
If you're going to utilize
eyeshadow, a lighter concealer can be a better option to make your eye makeup
stay place and shine out. According to makeup artist Lauren Berlingeri,
"prepping the eye with a concealer that's roughly two shades lighter than
your real hue can definitely make the shadow pop a lot more." "Apply
the concealer all over the lid, as well as anywhere you're applying eye shadow.
This will produce a faultless basis for your double winged eyeliner shadow
and liner by smoothing the eye."
Step 2: Apply eyeshadow
Apply any makeup shade you like to
your eye region and blend well if you're using it. When it comes to making a
huge impression, Berlingeri has some sound advice: "After stamping the
eyeshadow on, mix the matte colors together. You're not going to get a lot of
color payoff if you blend first."
Step 3: Create your first wing
It's time to make your initial wing
now that you have a nicely primed nude lid or a smooth lid topped with shadow.
This wing is simple to create because it's essentially just a swooping, fluid
line that hugs the upper lash line and continues beyond the outer corner of the
eye.

timeless eye makeup look? Here's a link to our whole winged eyeliner
instruction. We've even given some pointers on how to make it fit your eye
shape.
Step 4: Create your second wing
Now comes the exciting part. There are no guidelines for making your second wing. Swoop it along the bottom lash line, continuing out slightly below the top wing, is a popular technique for generating a second winged line (but leaving some negative space between the two lines).
With your second wing, you may also
try making a cut crease. Following a clean cat eye along the upper lash line,
draw an arching line through your cut crease with your eyeliner, linking the
end to the tip of the cat-eye.
Berlingeri recommends applying the
second wing along the lower lash line first if you're doing a second wing. As
you gaze up, your top line will not transfer to your lid or brow bone.
Step 5: Craft a full makeup look
that helps this eye makeup shine
Consider keeping the rest of your
makeup look somewhat neutral if you truly want this cutting-edge eye makeup
look to stand out.
"If you're going for a certain
look, make sure that's the one thing you pop," Berlingeri advises.
"I'd go with a neutral lip and blush; this way, your eyes will be the
focal point, and the rest of your makeup won't clash."
Step 6: Apply mascara
Finish by curling your lashes and
applying a couple swipes of your favorite mascara formula if you're comfortable
with both of your winged lines and the rest of your face makeup.
If you want to make sure your
mascara doesn't run (and destroy your well-made lines), choose a waterproof
mascara.
8 Double-Winged Eyeliner Looks to
Try
Are you looking for some new ideas?
Here are eight celebrities who recently wore this daring beauty style. If
you're unsure where to begin, utilize these samples as inspiration while
creating your own amazing eye makeup.
1. Negative Space
There's no need to overthink this striking look. Simply draw two gentle lines, one traditional cat eye along the upper lash line and the other gently arching along the cut crease, as Yara Shahidi does above. To open up your eyes and make them pop, use a lengthening mascara.
2. Stacked Lines
Create a layered double-winged
effect with a black base and a stronger eyeshadow hue applied on top for a
splash of color. With a black and white double wing, Rihanna accomplishes this.
This classic combination will compliment any eye color or skin tone, but feel
free to experiment with other colors. Something like the GLAMOUR DOLLS
Retractable Gel Eyeliner in electrifying blue may instantly transform your
liner.
3. Outer V
With this extra-bold style, lean
into the drama of it all. To begin, draw a really thick winged line (don't be
afraid to go all out!). Then, as a finishing touch, draw a delicate, thin line
slanting down from the outer corner of the eye. The thick line is undoubtedly
the show-stopper, but it's the extra second wing that will have everyone
looking twice.
4. More Is More
More isn't always better! Crisp
black tightening, bronzed lids, and a linked, arched double-wing: this double winged eyeliner has
it everything. It's hectic, but everything runs smoothly. To recreate this
really amazing makeup idea, copy Janelle's timeless color combination or
experiment with your own palette.5. Smoky Split Wing
5. Smoky Split Wing
provides an
unexpected Smokey eye-inspired alternative. Put down the liquid liner
and go for a soft gel liner like ARACELI BEAUTY Ojos Perfectos Gel Pencil
Eyeliner to recreate these delicately smeared lines at home. Curve the wings in
opposite directions by swiping the pencil along the upper and lower lash lines.
Then, very gently, smear the lines and wipe off those sharp edges with a Q-tip
or makeup smudge. This eyeliner style is characterized by extremely sharp
lines. Olivia Wilde, on the other hand,
6. Micro Gap
Want to try this trend without
piling on the product? Instead of creating lines that begin all the way in the
inner corners of the eyes, try starting in the center of the eye like Lily
Collins does here. This can help to open up the eye area while still allowing
you to experiment with a double wing.
To actively illuminate the inner eye
you left liner-free, you might even try dabbing on a bit of white or
champagne-hued eyeshadow to create a highlighting effect.
7. Dreamy Diagonals
If you've mastered Lily Collins'
minimalist double wing and want to amp up the drama, keep the outside wings the
same but apply liner to the inner corners of your eyes. This desirable blend
between a classic Cleopatra-inspired look and a cutting-edge graphic design is
this unusual take on cat eye makeup.
8. Color Blocked
Replace the black eyeliner with a
colored option to kick up the intensity of this look. Camila Mendes takes the
eyeliner trend to the next level by adorning the inner corners of her eyes with
complementary-colored rhinestones. If this isn't festival makeup inspiration,
we don't know what is.
