Beauty is in The Eye(liner) — The Lexington Line

Are you finding your everyday winged eyeliner to be a little too boring? What if you drew a butterfly wing coming out of the corner of your eye? Yes, a butterfly wing eyeliner look might sound complicated, but you can do it in just 7 easy steps! Whether you want to bring extra bling or sparkle to your look there is something here for you.

WHITE LINER

As far as neutrals goes, white is an under appreciated hue. White liner is a simple and clean look that is still something different. You can create a whole wing look, such as the one in the picture, or use it on your lower lash line.

POPS OF GREEN

It’s time to ditch the black liner, the new “in” is bold colors! If you don’t feel the natural sparkle on an off day, simply add some emerald liner, gems always shine!

GRAPHIC LINER

Wine not try graphic eyeliner? Using a dark shade such as wine to create lines in your eye crease is a simple way to enhance your look.

THROWBACK THURSDAY

If you find yourself with a Zoom date on Thursday, try this 60s throwback inspired liner. This dramatic look is sexy-perfect for date night.

DOUBLE DRAMA

If your first wing isn’t enough, try adding another one! If you happened to already apply your everyday black wing, try using a vibrant color such as yellow to add a huge pop to your look.

ASYMMERTICAL LINER

Great eyeliner can also be simple lines, whether its diagonal or straight edge. Try adding multiple lines for a complete look that still looks like it was a lot of work!

THE BOTTOM

Try focusing on the bottom waterline instead of the top. The bottom eyeliner known as the reserve cat eye is just as dramatic if not more!

STICK ON BLING

Feeling dull? Bling it out sis, nothing screams badass like sparkles and gems. Placing gems above your waterlines gives the illusion of eyeliner.

COW PRINT

As different prints come in and out of style, try translating that into your new makeup look. Cow print eyeliner is a super cute look that will certainly draw attention to your eyes.
