Double Eyeliner EOTD

Double eyeliner is another quick look that you can put together when you’re running low on time. This gives you just a bit of color in a very noticeable way. You could also wear double eyeliner on looks with more eyeshadow colors, but I like to wear it when I keep the rest of my eye area very simple. The second (upper) eyeliner that I used is actually MAC Pigment in “Golden Lemon” that I applied with some MAC Pro Eyeliner Mixing Medium and a small angled brush (MAC 266).

  1. (Optional) To achieve a very clean look, apply a primer similar in color to your skin tone. Then apply a neutral eyeshadow as a wash on your entire lid (click here to read my how-to on eyeshadow washes). Here I used MAC Paint Pot in “Soft Ochre” as a base and MAC E/S in “Brulé” as a wash.
  2. Line upper lash line with a black color, like Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in “Black Ink” (or use another color of your choice). Then extend the line (create a wing) by following the natural curve/angle of your lower lash line.
  3. Now take your second eyeliner color and apply it right above the first line. Wing this second line as well by following the curve of the first wing.
  4. To make both wings appear to merge together at the end, smudge the ends of the wings with a pencil brush like MAC 219 Pencil Brush to fade them out.
  5. Curl your lashes and apply mascara to both your upper and lower lashes.
