How to Apply Eyeliner for Downturned Eyes
When you have downturned eyes, you’ll want to create an uplifted eye makeup look to help your eyes appear wider and almond-shaped! That’s why the classic cat-eye style is perfect for downturned eyes!
Discover my magic Feline Flick technique for downturned eyes below and create the illusion of lifted eyes in seconds…
MAGIC STEP 1: Line your lash-line
Take my award-winning Feline Flick eyeliner pen in Panther and draw a very fine line along your lash line until you reach two-thirds of the way across your lid.
MAGIC STEP 2: Thicken and lift at the outer third
When you reach the outer third of your upper lash-line, start to thicken the line, sweeping the pen slightly up and out. This technique will help lift the look of your eyes where they are naturally downturned, to create an uplifted look!
MAGIC STEP 3 : Draw the dots!
Look in the mirror and using my Feline Flick eyeliner pen, draw a dot where your flick should end. This can be as long or short as you’d like! To determine the angle of your wing, image an invisible line continuing in an upward motion from your outer bottom lash line. You can do this by placing your eyeliner pen as an anchor before applying, to effortlessly reveal the perfect angle!
MAGIC STEP 4: Amplify your lashes!
Complement your new Feline Flick look with lashings and lashings of my Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! Mascara in Super Black to create a wide-eyed flutter, concentrating on your outer corner lashes to create a more lifted look! This ICONIC and award-winning mascara adds instant volume, length, stretch and lift to enhance and flatter your natural downturned eye shape in seconds!
Tilbury Tip: If you plan to apply eyeshadow to your look, keep your darkest shade more concentrated on the outer edges of your lids. This will create the look of extra dimension and lift!
