5 Runway Upgrades to Your Winged Liner Look
Winging out your liner is a no-brainer when it comes to adding a little something special to your eye makeup, but there's more to the style than just a classic flick. Designers marched many a wing down the runway this season, and their interpretations on the technique are not to be missed in your own beauty repertoire. Recreate one for New Year's Eve (the silver version at Dior would be our pick!), another for a formal, and a few others for parties that pop up all year long. Beauty boredom is so 2013...
Read on for the runway wings we're currently coveting.
