So, right now I'm going to show you some classic Adele makeup. What I'm going to use is the
Stila Stay All Day black liquid liner. It's really nice. It's actually in felt-tip form.
There are a lot of different types of liquid liners that you can use. You can use cream
liner. There are liners where you just continue dipping it back into a little pot.
So basically, you want to start as close as you can to the lash line. I usually like to
start in the middle of the eye when I'm lining just because we're going to do a wing at the
end and we're going to go really thin on the inside. So it's easy to start in the middle.
Don't think about drawing the perfect line out first. Just kind of fill in these spaces
in between the lashes to start.
You also want to think, the line needs to be much thinner on this inner part of the
eye and you want to build it thicker as you're going to the outer side. So, thin and then
it gets a little bit thicker, and then when we're doing the wing over here in a little
bit, you want to taper it off really quickly.
So, we're doing, I want to get all the way into this middle part over here. All right,
and now we can kind of start building now that we have the entire lash line done. So
I'm going to start kind of taking the line up right about here, building it a little
bit. You're just making it a little bit thicker.
When you're thinking about winged liner, you really don't want to think, "Oh, I'm going
to do a wing now. Ooh!" and make it scoop up. You won't get the same effect. You really
want to think about just kind of drawing the line out a little bit straighter because when
you open your eye it will look as if it's curved up. It's easy for this look because
we already have the shadow kind of showing us where we want the liner to go. So just
kind of follow that, very easy. If you see, I'm kind of pointing the brush this way and
sweeping this way. There are different ways to do it, but this is easy for me.
I'm just being very light over here. You don't want too much pressure, and I'm just continuing
to make this little tip out here. Just very light with the brush and you want to make
sure that you connect it down to the base of the lash line. You can even kind of come
from this way if you want. You just want to get that to a nice point. It should be about
dry. It dries really, really quickly, and this one stays on all day too. It's very,
very waterproof. So there you go. That's a basic Adele look with a basic cat eye.
