How to Outline Your Winged Eyeshadow for a Unique and Colorful Look
October 27, 2021
Over the past year or so, we’ve become accustomed to doing the absolute most with our eye makeup, whether that’s rhinestone-embellished looks, graphic cut creases or what we like to call an eyeliner sandwich. The latter — a term we totally made up but stand behind — is when you apply similar swipes of colored eyeliner along your crease and your lash line and then apply a contrasting shade on your lid that’s sandwiched in between.
