 a new eye shadow technique that makes your eyes look super lifted and you don't have to mess around with trying to do a wing on somebody that has a droopy eye. So let's get into that right now. Hello my friends! I'm going to be bringing you this eye look today step by step tutorial absolutely going from the very basics all the way through because I wanted to make sure that you saw how I did this. Now if you look at it and you're just kind of looking on straight you you might think that I have a wing die I don't and you might think well that's just kind of a smoky eye it's not that either. So basically this is the illusion of a wing without being a wing because I have a very movable lid space right here this isn't like the the actual lid but it's this part right here so this is where the brow bone is this skin is very loose on me and yet I love to create that stark wing look because I think it's so classic and so pretty but I still have this little flap of skin right here where my eyes are starting to droop pretty bad plus I have all of these laugh line things out here that I have to deal with so I've kind of created and adapted from a few different techniques that I've learned through the years this where we can pull it up let's get into this so you can see how I create this lifted eye look very crossover between a wing and a smoky eye look but very classy for the over 40 50 plus woman that wants to really keep her eyes lifted and looking sultry and beautiful at the same time so let's get into that right now the palette that I've chose to use to show you this new look is the morphe 35c and this is the everyday chic this is a beautiful palette I really like working with it because it has more of a cool tone but it still has a lot of different colors in it a couple of the things that are some drawbacks from it are this is a glitter color which I don't use and then it does have a couple colors in here that are overlays or you know you put down the base color and then you would put one of these shimmers over top of it and that's not really something that I use a lot so for me I love this color scheme and the colors of it but if you're somebody that doesn't like those overlays you might not like it as well as you would like another palette okay I've already prepped my eyes with the Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow primer this is my very very favorite I've already prepped my eyes with that very little bit goes a long way and then we're going to use the tape today this tape is kind of the the premise of the whole look and how you get this look to look so good on mature skin you can use scotch tape if you have it don't worry about it tugging because usually the oils from my eyes they help it not to tug this Sephora tape that I have though this doesn't tug hardly at all I don't worry about that very much anyway the tugging part of it so just kind of an FYI there and then you just peel off the back of the tape and then you're just going to position it and I've said this shown this before but it's been a while so you're going to position that tape right here from the tail of your eyebrow to the inner corner staying about an eighth to a quarter of an inch away from the inner corner of the eye so I just kind of play with this sometimes I have to remove it and put it back sometimes I don't it just kind of depends so you lay that down make sure there's no folds because my eyes do fold down a little bit right there so make sure there's no folds and then just position it towards the tail of the eyebrow right there and it's a little ways away from there which is good because we don't want it to be exactly it would look kind of strange so we're going to go in to this color right here which is kind of a light a light taupe color however when it gets on my eyes it's going to look a little bit deeper so I want to go in with a really soft touch to begin with and basically all I'm doing is shading this whole area clear to the tail so I'm going clear up on that movable lid right here the movable space right here and I'm going clear up from the tail of the eyebrow and I'm beginning to push that straight over so I'm not going to the arch through the arch of the eyebrow I'm going straight over so it this is a lot like the straight line technique that Wayne Goss does but at the same time you're really kind of concentrating out here on this tail part and you just really want to use a very light touch and a very minimal amount of product so I'm going to show you in the beginning how we're going to just go ahead and we're going to get it to be very light and very everyday and then I'm going to go more dramatic and show you how to get it to be quite a bit more stark and you know like a smoky eye just pick up product as you need to and build it up in layers it's so much easier than going ahead in with just too much product in the beginning because then it's hard to wipe away this way you get to buff in just a little bit at a time and you get to build it up instead of all of a sudden just having a way too dark of an eye now notice with this color I am coming in here towards the inner part of the eye just a little bit biggest difference in this eye look is we're concentrating out here on this line that's right out here by the tail of the eye we are putting some shadow in here but it's only this transition color that's going in there all the rest of the shadow is going to be really pulled right here on this part of the outer of the eye right there the next brush is a Luxy 213 shading brush very dense and what we're going to do with this one is I'm just going to take a brown color I'm kind of choosing to go as neutral as I can a little bit on the cool side so I'm going to take this very dark brown color I'm not picking up a lot on my brush and that's going to be a little bit hard for you to see but I'm tapping that off really well even though I'm not picking up very much now all I'm going to do with this is I'm going to bring it way down here in the corner of this eye and I'm just going to push and wiggle right there in the corner of that eye so I'm pushing and I'm wiggling and remember I'm going to show you how I'm going to do it as a lighter look and then we'll deepen it up go a little bit at a time you can see that I'm not going in there with a lot of color in the beginning go a little bit of it at a time create a triangle down there and then pull that triangle up just ever so slightly so you're kind of widening it you're not getting more color you're just widening the triangle and then you're going to push a little bit of the color into the crease of the eye now if you have very hooded eyes you're going to need to create a crease just above where your actual crease is so bring it up just a little tiny bit so you're going to be creating kind of a faux crease instead of going right down there in the crease so you're going up on the outer part of this eye anyway and you're going to start to push that color up there if you want to you can do this with a deepened teal or a very royal blue or a deep forest green a plum a deep purple any color that you decide you can do that do this with I'm choosing to do it with a neutral because I really want to show you guys just how the technique is and then you can decide whether or not you want to go in with color yesterday I did this with a deepened teal and it was gorgeous I put a little bit of peach on there as the transition and then a deepened teal and it turned out so pretty but I know a lot of people aren't into color so we are just going to stick with this neutral today and again we're just taking it and we're just pushing it up on this corner right here just working in this corner we're not going over very much at all now when you have that darker color built up the way you want it to take what's left on your brush and just push it out ever so slightly along the line of the tape you don't want to go up towards this movable part you want to just push it out along the line just to deepen it up just a tiny tiny amount all right now I'm just going to take a small paddle brush or a small shader brush they use these a lot for concealer it's very thin but it's kind of like a paddle there and I'm just going to go into one of these colors I'm deciding today to take this color right here it's a very very pretty color that's going to give me a lot of light on my lid but it's also kind of along the lines of a cool color so I'm just loading my brush with that I'm going to take some fixing spray or some setting spray this one is from Essence and I'm going to spray that brush I do this on my finger as well today I'm showing you the brush technique because a lot of people don't like to use their fingers which is okay too now after I spray it I'm going to pick just a little bit more up that won't ruin your shadow don't worry about getting that shadow wet it's just fine and all I'm going to do is be very careful about placing this right on the lid you will notice immediately how much brightness that will bring to your whole look and it's just a pretty pretty look now don't let your eye close you're going to be blinking a little bit but don't let your eye close now take your original brush and just go over that just a little bit to pick up any excess because if you have too much it's going to transfer up on there and to this part up here so you want to just kind of pick up what you can now go back to the brush and just sweep a little bit more on there and then I'm going to bring it all the way so that we're going to be overlapping colors okay so I brought it out to where we did that one piece with that one darker color out there now we're going to do just a little bit lighter color now because I think this is such a pretty color I want to do this little bit of mauve right here and that one is going to go right next to that dark color we put out and it's going to pull the shimmer color in with the matte color that we used and we're just going to do it just a tiny bit all right and now I sprayed that brush and I'm doing this other eye now all right before I let go of this brush I'm going to do my inner corner right here with the same color and all I do is just lay that brush down and just tap it into that inner corner I don't do anything too fancy there but still doing that much brings a lot of light to that area if you're somebody that likes a little shimmer right up there by your brow take that and just trace your brow a little bit if you want to you don't have to do that I do that if I'm doing a little bit more of a polished look that's a fairly light everyday look all I'm going to do now is I'm going to go back into that dark color that we had and I'm just going to deepen it I took a little bit more than I did originally I'm not doing a ton because I don't want it to be over deepened I don't want it to be super smoky I don't want it to be super dark so I am just deepening that sorry if I'm getting my stupid mirror in your way I have a tendency to do that when I'm doing tutorials and it's bad I need to change it okay I laid some down going back with that original brush and all I'm doing is pushing it out right here at the tail and I am just getting a ton of product out by that tail now take a little bit more and sweep it towards the tail just a tiny bit like you're doing a tiny little wing this works so good because of my hands my hands of course you know shake I already said that in the intro but this is just a lifesaver for me not being able to do a wing and this just makes it look so polished and so pretty and I love this effect I love that you can make it look dark and deepened if you want to if you're somebody that likes that I love that you can still make it look really really light if you like that better it just completely depends on what you like and what your preferences are eyeshadow is all about blending and the best part about that part too is if you're in a hurry if you go in light to begin with you're gonna look like you blend it a long long time so just remember that blending is really the key in just about any look that you're doing you want to blend like a mad person it just helps out so much now you get to see what happens when you take the tape off so what really has happened is you've created a faux wing it's just beautiful and that gets created by taking this brush right here this shader brush and just really giving it some good passes with that shader brush and the color so you really are doing that wing now yes when I took that tape off I'm gonna have to touch up my concealer I realized that but that's okay I wanted to show you guys this as best I could now this is just a pencil from flower beauty and I'm just lining my inner rim in order to make it look a little bit brighter on my eyes and then to tie it all together I am using this is Rimmel's exaggerate waterproof eyeliner this is the dark brown one and in order to tie it all together I'm just going to take this pencil and I'm just going to barely lay that out there in that corner by that little wing so basically what I'm doing is I'm coming right here and I'm connecting it so it looks like a wing without you have actually drawing in that wing now you can take any pencil brush you want to this is an e30 from Sigma kind of a little bit of a softer pencil brush and all I'm doing is I'm just taking the two and really softening them and connecting them together so I'm not pulling all of that liner all the way over but I'm not really sticking out here either so I've really pulled all of that up like that right on that outer corner now if you want to you can go in and you can diffuse this line if you want to as well if you're just using it for maybe the sake of not you know getting your shadow too low or anything you don't want that much of a diffused or a stark line that looks like a wing but for me this is the best for aging eyes and being able to make that look like a wing all right so normally almost every tutorial I do this part off-camera because I know that when I do my eyeliner I shake like a mad woman I know that that bothers some people and that's really hard to watch but because I've had quite a few of you recently asked me how I do my eyeliner with my hands and my disability I'm going to show it to you the secret that I feel is the best part is that I use a super fine tip this one is from Physicians Formula it's their waterproof eye boosters I love this stuff this is what I've used for a long time I also make sure that I steady my hand on my cheek I have to do that so the rest of my hand is going to be steadied on here and then I'm going to go in I'm going to turn this eyeliner sideways I'm going to lay it down right there on that inner corner and I'm going to go as fast as I can and not take a long time did you see how fast I put that liner on I had to do it fast because if I took longer to do it it was going to skip because I have these hands that shake like that so I have to do it super fast so I'm now I'm going to go off-camera and I'm going to do some mascara and then I'll be right back with you okay so that is the finished look I'm going to get really close you can see this is the Maybelline Sky High mascara I just really love this mascara actually it was started off with the Lancome eye doll on this side and then it went and I had to get the other one because I like it a little bit better but the eye look is just a classic cross between the classic wing and the classic smoky eye and I love this eye look especially for older women that their eyes kind of droop down I know that I have to pencil in my eyebrows so that they are a little bit higher and they get lifted in the end and that's the illusion we're creating with this look as well we're pulling it up so everything is just an illusion of a wing without actually drawing in a wing because I have this folded over skin right here but it still looks really good because it's pulled way up with the eyeshadow so I hope that you did enjoy this please give it a thumbs up if you did if you have any questions you can use any palette you want to you do not have to use that palette I do like it and I've been playing with it a lot so it's kind of nice to have a new palette I haven't had one for a little while so I hope that you're all doing well let me know in the comment section what you think of this tutorial and how I've adapted other styles in order to get this look for us over 50 over 40 gals I should say thanks so much everyone I love you very much and I'll catch you in my next video bye friends
