Make-up Trend: Winged Eye Shadow

At a recent photoshoot Minnisha Lamba showed us something we haven't seen before: winged eye shadow! The key point to remember when doing this look is it's all about blending. Brush an espresso shadow up to the crease, then pulled it up towards the tail of the eyebrow with a small brush. Draw a stripe of black eyeliner along the top lash line, and blended that outwards, too. To finish, add a dark black pencil on the bottom lash line, and smudge it upwards. Another insider secret? False eyelashes really add a lot to this look.

A lot of women today does this kind of make-up... I think they want to look "oriental-ish" or something.

@All Women Stalker Not oriental, but it's a unique take on eyeshadow. =)
