A Reader Request-The Placement of the Wing Can Determine the Shape of the Eye

Pin It
This is a short and simple tutorial.  I have skipped the usual brushes being used and eyeshadow colors since this really concentrates on one aspect of makeup--eyeliner.

Elongating the eye

Sometimes, a makeup artist or a regular makeup aficionado may want to change their eyes shape.  This may have to do with adapting the face to a certain character or just adapting an eye look to a certain eye shape.  Whether it is just for fun or for some editorial piece, changing the shape of the eye with makeup alone is always good to know.

An Eyeshadow Tutorial Influenced by the TV Show--Once Upon A Time

Pin It

If you are a fan of the television show Once Upon a Time, I am sure you have been noticing the makeup especially the evil and bitchy queen.  In the episode "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree" the queen's make up was a bit subtle compared to previous episodes since her true evilness had not completely evolved. The iciness of her character was well represented by the icy blue tones of eyeshadow and her peering evilness through the exaggerated winged liner. I thought it was a great eye look and decided to do a tutorial on it with similar results.
