WINGED EYELINER: A DAYTIME DO OR DON'T?
6:49 AM
After writing this post, I tried a couple of the winged liner looks on {ps thanks for all the liner suggestions!} and.....meh. I can paint my lips the most shocking shade of orange or the brightest hue of pink I can find, and I feel totally confident. Swoop a swipe of winged eyeliner on me, and I suddenly feel super self-conscious.
I wear glasses most of the time, so it's not really a tried-and-true look I fall back on in a pinch. However, I just LOVE the retro-inspired winged look when I see it in editorials, on the runway, and on the stylish gals on the street. It's a major bummer whenever I attempt it because it just looks a little 'off'. One reason just might be because I have deep-set eyes so it kind of covers the lined part when I look straight on. Seriously...I took about a zillion photos to get one where you can actually see the wing. Le sigh. The other reason? I'm not going to lie....I sometimes looks a little more chola than chic on me if I go a little too cray cray with the wing. Yep. It's a sad, sad truth.
But enough self-deprecation. The question still remains: do you ever wear a winged cat-eye look during the day? If so, where do you draw the line (literally and figuratively) for daytime wear?
Oh, and promise me you'll never do this....ok?
