In the music video for her new single “Easy on me”, Adele wears her iconic eyeliner – as always. We’ll tell you what five tricks you can use to make it up.
There are two things that singer Adele stands for: her awesome voice and of course her perfect eyeliner. Granted, Adele has the perfect, round doe eyes, on which an eyeliner simply always looks good. But even without them you can imitate the iconic look of the music queen. With these five tips.
Gel instead of liquids
The more precise the liner, the better. Because with Adele’s eyeliner, every single line is right. So that you can work more easily, you should use a gel liner rather than a liquid product.
Pick up some gel eyeliner with a fine brush, work the product on the back of your hand and only then begin to draw the eyeliner. Either in small lines or in one go.
Start from the middle
Important here: Do not start the eyeliner at the beginning or at the end of the upper lash line. It is best to start in the middle. This way it doesn’t get too thick at the front and you have more control over the product. Draw the line as close as possible to the lash line. If you also work in several shifts, you can be sure that the liner is deep black.
Only then can you also draw the liner in the inner corner. This is often easier if you pull the lid a little taut at the outer corner. But be careful: Don’t apply too much product here so that the liner doesn’t get too thick.
The Adele Wing
If half the eyeliner is in place, it goes to the famous Adele Wing. The singer always wears her liner with a “flick” at the end. Here it is important that you change the pressure of the brush when you pull the eyeliner. The further you pull the wing out, the less pressure you should use. This allows the wind to run out naturally.
Adele always wears her wing as an extension of her eyeliner. So try to draw the wing as straight as possible and keep your head straight. Finally, you can “re-sharpen” the wing with a cotton swab and some micellar water.
The lower lash line
Adele’s eyeliner is not only special because it is so expressive, but also because it looks as if the line from the lower and upper lash line merges into a wing. But that’s not because the singer also wears eyeliner below. Here she relies on lots of mascara and kohl pencil. Both are easier to fade out and look less harsh. This creates a nice course in the wing.
Our tip: Apply the mascara to the lower lashes with a small fan brush. This way you get them really close to the lash line and it looks compacted even without kohl.
Inner Corner
There is also a lot going on in the inner corner of Adele’s eyes. Because she even pulls her eyeliner all the way into the inner corner. The Inner Corner Eyeliner ensures that the eyes get a cat-eye effect and the whole thing looks even more interesting. Just follow the natural line of your inner corner of your eye and draw a very fine line here.
If you have little eyelid area available or even drooping eyelids, you have to work with other techniques here and there so that the liner can be seen clearly. Just try out here how the eyeliner can be seen well on you. And if that means you can’t use any of these tricks, then so be it.
