Winged liner, what! Trying out a new liner in my final attempt to make liner work for my eyes.

The liner did transfer while it was still wet and I couldn't cover it/clean it up so I just gave up. I know it's there but I can't bring myself to care.

The liner is very black and easy to use, so I like it so far!

Face:
-Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
-Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage 12 Hour Foundation in Light Medium Neutral
-NYX HD Concealer in Light
-MAC Blot Powder in Light
-Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer
-MAC Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul

Brows:
-IT Cosmetics Brow Power
-Chella Defining Brow Gel

Eyes:
-Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
-Lorac Pro Metal Palette (Rose Gold, Quartz)
-MAC Fix+
-Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Black
-Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eyeliner & Shadow Pencil in Dark Black
-Tarte Lights Camera Splashes

Lips:
-Bite Beauty Bite Mix & Mingle in Confection/Marmalade (Confection)

I applied my primer all over my face, focusing on my t-zone and cheeks, with my fingers. I applied and blended my foundation with the RT Expert Face Brush. I applied my concealer under my eyes and blended it in with the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge. I set the concealer and through the t-zone with the blot powder on the RT Setting Brush. I applied my bronzer on my cheeks and forehead with the ELF Total Face Brush and my blush to my cheeks with the ELF Bronzing Brush.

I lightly filled in my brows with the pencil and set them with the gel.

I applied my eye primer from lash line to brow with my finger. I put Rose Gold on the RT Base Shadow Brush, wet it with Fix+, and applied it all over the lid and slightly into the crease. I applied Quartz dry in the inner corner and under the brow with the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I slowly and carefully lined my lash line with the liquid liner and did a wing. I applied my pencil liner to my tight line and one coat of mascara on the bottom lashes and two on the top.

I applied my lip color straight from the tube.

And, as requested, what the tip of the liner looks like and a swatch.

Pretty! I think a liner like this (a little thicker) would suit you well too!

I like a wing on you! Is there a reason you don't normally like eyeliner on you, or is it just not your thing?

I love it Alexis! I feel your pain about applying a perfect winged. I just gave up too and don't even stress about if one side looks wonky. Some days are better than others and I can get it perfect on both lids. I love the color on your lids. Might need to check out that palette myself.

Love love love! You look amazing. That's my favorite liner. I always smudge a bit of shadow over it. It's killer, but strangely only transfers on occassion. Lip and eyes are lovely together.

Thank you, Julie!

Kailey, thank you! I don't wear liner because my eyes are so hooded, every liner I've used just transfers onto the hood of my eye after wearing it for a short time so I just skip it so I don't have to worry about it (:

Shelley, thank you! One side definitely came out better than the other but for my first attempt in quite a long time I'm quite pleased with how it came out! This was my first time using a shadow in this palette wet and I loved the finish; they're also gorgeous dry (:

Rozberry, thank you! I'm hoping this doesn't transfer or at least resists transferring longer than other liners I've tried (:

I love the look of a wing I usually use a gel eyeliner its a little bit easier for me to work with

Looks great! How do you like the Hourglass primer? I've had it sitting in my Sephora online shopping cart for a while now still contemplating on whether I should go ahead and get it! & I'm glad you love the Stila eyeliner! It's my HG :)

Thank you, Tina!

Malik, thank you! So far I am absolutely LOVING the primer! I can definitely understand the hype that surrounds it (:

I can say that after about 4 and a half hours of wear, the liner hasn't transferred to the hood of my eye! Looking like a winner so far!

It looks so good! But I agree with Julie F. to go a little thicker

I have really hooded eyes (partial monolid) and I love the stila stay all day liner! the one thing I have to do with mine though, is wear t over a primer and eyeshadow. my eyelids are too oily and hooded to avoid transferring. with the primer and base shadow, the stila eyeliner is amazing! I took a shower and washed my face with soap and the eyeliner was still on perfectly.

Thanks, Erin and Sophia (:

Leila, it's been about 8 hours now and it hasn't transferred at all, I'm so impressed!

Thank Alexis for the pic of the tip and swatch! practice makes perfect! I use to have so much difficulties with wing liner but now it is my signature look! I love it and it now takes me about 3 minutes for both eyes to do them! just keep at it!

No problem, Genevieve! I actually didn't really struggle at all, the only problem I had was it transferring because I didn't realize it was still wet (:
