Bella Hadid, Megan Fox, Khloe Kardashian and Dove Cameron have adopted this style and serve as their role models.
Attractive look in an instant
If some tutorials are really artistic, others, more simply, explain how to easily recreate this makeup base. Correct method. First, draw a graphic “wing” in the outer corner of the eye with a black pencil (pen or pencil for a clean line, or with a powder shadow and a fine brush for a more diffused style). Nothing out of the ordinary so far.
Then draw a fine point on the inner corner of the eye, following its natural line, that is, in the direction of the bridge of the nose and slightly tilted downwards. It is this small detail that brings the lengthening effect. Finally, line the eyes with a black pencil on the lower lash line to connect the two ends.
The result: the gaze appears to be stretched and delicate at the sides, which may refer to the magical facial features attributed to mermaids in myth. More rationally, it is also one of the main makeup trends of 2022 called “reverse eyeliner”.
