According to Ridhimaa Kharbanda, a makeup artist, the ‘smokey winged eyeliner‘ trend involves using tape as a guide to achieve a sharp yet smudged eyeliner look. “This technique helps create a defined and sultry appearance by ensuring precision while allowing for a subtle smudging effect, enhancing the overall allure of the cat eyeliner style.”
Steps:
- To achieve the smokey winged eyeliner trend, start by applying tape as the guide, extending from the lower outer corner to the eyebrow’s end, forming the ideal wing angle.
- Apply black gel liner or eyeshadow close to the lash line on the outer lid.
- Smudge with a small brush or smudger.
- Once satisfied, carefully remove the tape, unveiling a precisely defined and sultry smokey wing, blending seamlessly for a captivating look that accentuates the eyes.
Unlike the crisp winged eyeliner, this look avoids a harsh appearance. “The tape creates a guide for a precise wing, while the smudging technique softens the line, achieving a balance between sultriness and subtlety,” Kharbanda said.This versatility allows the smokey eyeliner to complement various makeup looks, adapting seamlessly to different styles. “The blend of precision and smudged allure makes it an ideal choice, offering a captivating and understated charm that enhances the eyes without overwhelming the overall makeup composition,” added Kharbanda. The smokey-winged eyeliner look can complement various outfits. “Enhance an all-black ensemble with a red lip and smokey winged liner for a bold, classic look. Alternatively, pair a bubblegum pink dress with pearl accessories, complemented by a soft brown smokey liner, for a more whimsical and elegant appearance,” the makeup artist said.
