5 makeup hacks to level up your eyeliner game

Nothing beats a sassy eye! 'When people look at you, they look at your eyes a lot,' says seasoned makeup artist Nthato Mashishi, stressing the importance of an eye look. 'Eyeliner makes or breaks the look if it's not applied properly.' From spoon tricks to reverse wing eyeliners, we explore different ways to rock and elevate your eye makeup. 'Get a waterproof liner, sometimes people cry and you want something that will [stay put]. Apply liquid liner before lashes for a natural or soft look,' Nthato suggests. Here are more tricks that will do the wonders for your eye look: 1. The invisible eyeliner trick Tight line your upper waterline only, no visible line, just the illusion of fuller lashes. Perfect for the 'clean girl' aesthetic. 2. The tape or spoon trick for sharp wings Use tape or the edge of a spoon to create crisp, even wings. Bonus: No Q-tips needed to clean up mistakes. 3. Inner corner accent line Add a small triangle or flick in the inner corner of your eye. It lifts and elongates the eye, adding a soft edge to dramatic or minimalist makeup. 4. Reverse wing eyeliner Instead of a top wing, apply liner along your lower lash line and flick it outward. This look gives an edgy look. 5. Smoky wing with eyeshadow Swap your liquid liner for dark eyeshadow and an angled brush. Smudge it for a soft, diffused and effortless wing.
