How To: (Easy) Subtle Winged Eye

Whenever I post something about makeup, I get a few "This is great" and mostly "I DON'T WEAR MAKEUP!" "I DON'T KNOW HOW! IT LOOKS HARD!" (totally shouting, right?).

Well, NO MORE EXCUSES! (Now I'm shouting!).

This tutorial is really, really, easy (really). It takes zero skill and very little time. I promise.
You'll notice I didn't do a full-on Cat Eye because I'm shooting for the basics here. 
Get your gear and let's do it together!

• The easiest way to do a winged or cat eye is to use a gel liner. I am horrible doing this with a pencil and liquid liner can be intimidating--it's best reserved for a dramatic look. Also, the gel is easier to get off the eye in case of mistakes than liquid. I use Maybelline Eye Studio. It comes with a brush as well, but that won't be used today. You'll notice I used gel liner on my Autumn Eyes tutorial last week! Click here for that.
• The other tool you'll need--I consider this THE key--is an angled brush. Mine is $3 from ELF. (I've seen online where you can make your own with a long art paintbrush and crimp with some pliers). This brush makes this look easy (how many more times can I type "easy"?) and fool-proof.

• Dip the brush into the eyeliner a little and draw along your lash line, like above. For a darker line, simply build on your first line. 
• Then draw up just a bit--imagine you're drawing all the way up to meet the end of your eyebrow. That's it! Well, repeat on the other eye! ;)

• Don't use the gel liner on bottom lashes. I used nothing, but if you'd like, use a kohl liner instead.
• Now that you've mastered this super easy (told you!) winged eye, simply fill in the corner of the wing to make it a bolder cat eye!

Tweet or post pics of your winged (or cat) eyes! Is this a look you'd try or wear often? Hair or beauty tutorial requests? Ask away!
