1. Apply black eyeshadow

Using a flat brush, pick up some black eyeshadow. Apply it to the outer corners of your upper eyelids, then extend it outward into a thin wing. This creates the lifted effect.

2. Add contrast with beige

With another flat brush, take a light beige shade and apply a touch of it just underneath the wing. The subtle contrast helps the black stand out more.

3. Define with eyeliner

Go over the black eyeshadow on the outer upper lids with black eyeliner. This makes the wings look sharper and bolder.

The wings combined with lashes give your eyes a beautifully lifted appearance, making them look more open and defined.


The contrast of light and dark shadows enhances the shape of your eyes, while the eyeliner adds boldness and structure.


Mascara and false lashes finish the effect, creating a polished look that works equally well for a daytime event or an evening out.
