STEP ONE

Prep the lid using By BEAUTY BAY’s Eye Base

STEP TWO

Cut a length of Makeup Revolution’s Cosmetics Tape long enough to stretch from ear to ear. 

Hook the tape around the tip of the nose and pull the ends up toward the temples skimming the outer corner of the eye. This will create an even template for the bottom of the winged liner.

STEP THREE

Cut two smaller pieces of tape and place on the eyelids. 

With one end of this tape aim to hit the lash line around the centre of the eye, with the other end meet the first piece of tape in the outer corner. This will create a small triangle of blank space to create a wing.

STEP FOUR

With By BEAUTY BAY’s Crayon Eyeliner in shade Ink, colour in the free space created by the tape. 

This can be as messy as you like, the tape will create the clean lines. 

Tip: You can use any colour eyeliner or eyeshadow to fill this in.

STEP FIVE

Gently remove the tape to reveal your eyeliner.

STEP SIX

Complete the look with mascara or lashes.
