The eye studio / Eyeliner
Plan it with your eyes open.
Choose the features closest to yours, then change the line. The preview shows makeup on the lash line and skin around the eye.
The colored line sits along the upper lashes and extends beyond the outer corner.
Your application plan
A short, wearable wing
- 01Begin at the outer third of the lashes. Extend a short tail, then connect it with a thin line.
- 02Follow the upper lash line, then step back to compare both eyes looking forward.
- 03Aim the tail toward the outer brow area, and adjust until it feels balanced on your face.
Preview: fine espresso liner. A line that gradually thickens toward the outer third follows an almond outline well.
This is a technique illustration, not a measurement of your face. Test small adjustments in a mirror and keep the version you like.
One choice changes the whole look.

How to compare eyeliner placement for your eye shape
- Choose the illustrated eye features that most closely resemble yours. An illustration is a starting point, rather than a measurement of your face.
- Compare a thin line with a heavier line while keeping the eye shape unchanged. Notice how much visible lid space each uses.
- For hooded eyes, compare the wing with the illustrated eye open. Try another shape if the fold hides the line; adjust the real application while looking straight ahead.
Keep eye products outside the eyeball. Use only products intended for the application area and follow the label.
