The key to winged eyeliner is to be brave on the first swipe and just go for it, if you’re too cautious it gets wobbly and it’s more likely to go wrong!
Completely agree that how I got better once had the liner in prediction just one slip done - took about 4 attempts to get right that's practicing make-up technique for you 😅
yeah THIS, u just gotta do it kinda quick
Yesssssss to this!!!!!
Alisha you’ve glowed up so much. I love seeing the raw and unedited side of you!
Same her great Alisha being open with us about thearapy take emotional strength like this less edited side feels more genuine! 💫💜
Tips for liner:
1. On the outermost part of your eye, there is a tiny gap between your upper eyelid and lower one. That’s where I usually start.
2. Put a small dot before you draw your actual liner on both your eyes to mark where you want your wing to be. (This also helps in matching eyeliner on both the sides)
3. Now start at the EDGE of your upper eyelid and pull it out towards the dot that you made.
4. Now draw liner on your actual eyelids. Start from the point where your lashes start.
5. Connect the wing to the liner on the eyelid.
6. Take a wet Q tip and clean out the wing to make to sharp and straight.
7. If you feel like your makeup has been erased then use concealer there
8. Do the same to the other eye
YOU ARE NOW GOOD TO GO!
Tip for eyeliner: Try using a smaller hand held mirror so you can see exactly what you're doing. Start thin in the middle and go out but thinly first.
Also I found powder instead liquif
I like seeing youtubers being more open about therapy. I think therapy should be like going to the dentist. Everyone should go and it shouldn’t be a stigmatized.
YES YES YES couldnt agree more!
Eyeliner Tip: make the triangle at the end of your outer corner a smidge lower. i always start the line where my upper and bottom eyelids meet,
lowkey loveeeee the eyeliner on you
don’t stress, start small!! that’s how i did it. Start with a small wing like you have on right now and as you get more confident with how you do your wing, draw on longer wings ☺️
The eyeliner didn't look that bad was fairly even that's a decent starting point. Work on making the liner thinner that make yes look larger that will turn great with practice! ♥️💫
My depression and anxiety have been at a all time high lately feels so relaxing to hear you talk about this thank you so much !
I’m still trying to master the art of wing liner too 😂 lots of q-tips lol
I honestly don't deserve Alisha she is j so real with us and has one of the kindnesses souls down to earth I absolutely love her
honestly, one of the many reasons I like Alisha so much is that she is just so open and honest about what she's going through and not acting like everything is ok like a lot of other influencers do, she is so inspiring and yeah 💙🤍
Thanks for opening up with us. It makes a big difference when you see people you admire and follow also being vulnerable and human. You are not alone and you're definitely wonderful just as is(that sounded like P.A haha).
Anyway love you and keep up the good work Lida ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Takes so much to be open about emotions delighted you commented this supportive message. I think gets lost sometime we're all human and struggle sometimes no matter what our career or lifestyle 💜💫
@@rebeccamcauley4549 I struggle a lot with depression, generalized anxiety and recovering from anorexia so I got a lot to deal with but I'm sure I'm not alone and I'm a fighter just like Alisha; just like a lot of us are whether we struggle with mental health directly or indirectly through someone we know♡Warriors.
I love that you talk about things like anxiety that evryone once in a while has and what you learned in therapy to calm down ❤️ More people should do this!!
there’s a ton of different shapes of liner you can do; i have worn wings for the last 5 years and i just do mine pretty much straight from the very corner of my eyes, but i also have hooded eyes so idk. you just have to find what’s right for you !
When I first started with liquid liner, I used tape to line the wing. Then it’s just the game of aligning the tape. Also when you draw in the rest of the liner, keep your face centered to the mirror and try not to close them. That’s just how I do it. It may be different to others. Just keep practicing!!! You got this girl!!! 💚
Absolutely using tape when first practicing helped with keeping the liner thin and building up for more dramatic wing. Brilliant that have faith in Alisha achieving her goal same here! ♥️💫
I always appreciate when you talk about therapy in the podcast episodes because it’s something that no one should be ashamed of. I actually started going because of you and I really am starting to like it.
I'm so pleased that thearapy and Alisha speaking about the benefits and learning curve on PB has helped. Same I started with better health calming to speak about my emotions and struggles ♥️💫
I’ve been seeing a therapist regularly for three years, but on and off for about eight years. This vlog was so helpful, because while I have friends in therapy, all of them are men! It’s wonderful to be reflective with a woman, even if it was a one sided conversation. 😂🥰
i love how open you are with us i wish i had someone in my life like you to talk to and vent. alsooooo bestieeee your getting so much better at the winged liner!!!
Hi, i do my eyeliner for like 8 years now and my best tip is to do your liner on a open eye with your elbow on the desk (sturdy) sooooo try it 😂🙈 love you alisha ❤️🔥
i’ve never felt so close to a person that i never meet in my entire life, who lives thousands miles away from me 🥲 thank you so much ALISHA ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 never knew i needed this 💛🥰
same though! ty
EFT! I actually started doing this in therapy about 14 years ago. These tapping exercises saved my life. I was struggling with panic attacks from trauma and loss of control. This exercise was literally life changing for me and I wouldn’t be a happy, healthy, productive member of society without it. Peace and Love! 💜
thank you for talking about this. im starting therapy again in a few days. my sister was in a car accident so my anxiety and depression has gotten way WAY worse. thanks for opening up🖤 love you
Can we just take a moment to appreciate alisha's vlogs and upload game giiiirl you're killing it I look forward to watching your vlogs everytime they make my day and I get so excited when you post a new one because I knoooooow u wont disappoint !!!!
Completely agree 💙
eyeliner tip: start ur wing on the outside corner of ur eye and create a line that goes up like ur going to draw a straight line to the tip of the arch of ur eyebrow (but u obviously don’t draw the liner all the way to ur eyebrow). Then u can line the rest of eyes
When you were talking about your anxiety and how it manifests for you symptomatically -> i was like 'omg, this is ME 💯%!'
I'm not to new to anxiety at all but it's been extra bad for me of late. 😟 It's just so refreshing and comforting when you're reminded that you're not "crazy" or alone. ❤❤❤
This is what makes you one of my favorite content creators on CZcams: your realness about your life, and your openness and willingness to talk about things like mental health, things that a lot of people have shied away from in the past. It's so encouraging and comforting.
I love this concept of you talking about what you've learnt in therapy. I myself was afraid to start therapy because of the negative connotations about it but it have helped me in so much ways. It just really important for us to take a sit back and relax and reflect on what we're going through. One thing my therapist taught me was its important to go through your emotions and not just avoid it because it would just linger and never go away.
Thank you for making mental wellness “ok” to talk about….also - your eyeliner is fire! Love you for you and all you are/do!!!!! ❤️❤️
this vlog made me feel like I am not crazy and that someone understands me and seeing someone talk about help so much. thank you so much alisha
I’m loving the snippets of each day and ik you weren’t sure about them but I love them and I’m glad you’re posting more 😙😙
I like the few days or weekly vlogs think the content s better and more representative of what is happening in the week. The amount of content lately has been immense! ♥️💫
It makes sense. I have my own issues with OCD, Anxiety, Control, Depression, PTSD, Abuse, Body Issues and self sabotaging thoughts/behaviors from growing up in the foster care system and bouncing around placements/schools, being homeless, living in shelters, having it all, losing it all, not being able to trust. living on the streets and sometimes in my car. I’ve been in therapy my whole life; I try use my platform as a source of healing/therapy for me and as a way to bring awareness to Mental Health which is severely underfunded. I keep forgetting that I need to be in THIS moment and not rush things and not put all my happiness in one person, job or thing (food or electronics.) It takes time to make the shift from victim to survivor/advocate. But one thing I will tell anyone is this….your voice and your thoughts are your most powerful weapons. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you are not worthy or that you cannot do something.
Tip for wing liner… start from the bottom of your water line instead if the top!! Helps sooo much
Using better help because of Lauren’s podcast rec and it has helped me not feel alone! Being able to message my counselor whenever is amazing
What I learned in therapy is that you‘ll feel worse before you can feel better. When you start therapy and you start digging deeper into yourself and all the trauma that you‘ve pushed into the back of your mind for so long, you basically have to re-live every emotion again. But it helps, so keep going!
I also struggle with primarily health anxiety and the anxiety symptoms make me feel more anxious when I freak out and let them have power. Therapy, medication and time to cope with symptoms has helped me tremendously. You are never alone and you got this! Even if it feels like you’re dying every second of every day, it will get better! Hold on and reach out for help
Love this series. I also struggle with anxiety and I love hearing you talk about it/normalize it. And also good job pushing through and finishing the video instead of deleting it. It came out great. Love you Alisha ✨💗💗💗
Therapy can really help. Don’t be afraid to switch therapists. If going to therapy, you want someone you connect with. It can take time to find a great match. I finally found someone actually listens to me. Found out that all I’ve struggled with throughout my life was harder because I was undiagnosed Autistic. He is helping me cope with things that actually work for me rather than overwhelming me.
I got a tattoo that says “control” at 17 because of my constant need to be reminded that I am in control of my life and my happiness. Over the years I never could articulate the way this made me feel and how this need to be reminded felt self encompassing. Thank you for being open about this, it made me realize I’m not alone.
I completely agree that everyone can benefit for counselling/therapy. If you live in the uk, you can get a free one from the nhs or go more private. I have been going since about June and has extremely helped me. Good luck 😘
Hi alisha! Girl, I used to be soooooooo bad at winged liner. Like it would be wavy, uneven, just the worst. But as I’ve practiced and learned how to do it. I learned to take an angle brush and eyeshadow and start sketching and you can just rub it in if it needs fixing. That helped me because I was able to practice the shape of the wing. Also my eyes are more circular and when I was doing the wing liner it wasn’t fitting the shape of my eye, so testing out different eyeliner types also helped. Hope this helps you and you will be able to do and it will be amazing. You can do anything you put your mind to.
i felt that struggle for the liner, i think i've finally got it in the bag so lemme drop my tips for anyone who needs it:
- hold your liner pen with the fine tip beside your eye
- extend the wing from ur bottom waterline up to where u want it to end, this doesn't have to follow the curve of ur waterline (i start small so u can extend it out more)
- put the finest tip part at middle of ur eyelid and connect it to the end
- fill it in
- with a VERY LIGHT HAND extend the wing out a bit so you have a crisp line and it looks snatched
bonus: extend it near the front (again with a very light hand) so it looks like a cat eye
some extra tricks:
- do your liner first so u can clean it up with concealer if you mess up
- use a smaller or magnified mirror
- tilt ur head up so ur basically looking at ur nostrils (it helps you see ur eyelid without closing ur eyes), similar to putting on falsies
- rest ur hand on ur face as you do it, also make sure ur elbow is on a surface. you want a steady arm for winged liner
- some people have a gap between where their bottom waterline is and where their eyeliner starts and that can make your eyeliner stick out. when people say extend from the bottom waterline, you dont have to follow the curve but extend it from that point so ur eyeliner seems cohesive with your eye shape.
that's all my tips, good luck yall!
for liner do one step at a time on each eye! so draw the first line, then do the other eye. this usually makes it symmetrical :). you can also use a piece of tape as a guide!
girl i have the health anxiety too and it gets so much better when you learn to control and cope with it.
Alisha is the realest CZcamsr I know and I'm here for it!😌
Wow. I’m going to love this series, I have anxiety around health issues to and feel so alone about it. I am now looking deeper into it to see if it is a control issue, thankyou can’t wait for more episodes
yes can totally relate :)
alisha stop i have this exact same anxiety. i call it death anxiety because i freak out about a lot of stuff like that. something that helps me is removing the thing that makes me anxious- like my apple watch when im working out if it’s freaking me out. etc
i love how real and transparent u r alisha. thank u for opening up to us on these things. we love you
Totally relatable. With eyeliners, you either make it or break it. Also, we need more influencers like Alisha who advocates mental health awareness. 🥰
Omg thank you so much for talking about this! I have health anxiety and I’ve felt so alone because it’s not talked about a lot. You just helped me so much with not feeling crazy and alone.
Remi’s last better help video really made my want to try it bc going in person is just way too much for me and i LOVE it. i’ve been wanting to go back for so long and i love that you can talk to them literally whenever. my anxiety does the EXACT same thing and everyone’s always calling me a hypochondriac, it’s literally such a relief to know someone else understands
I'm all here for talking about real emotions and problems we all happen to face every now and then. Thank you, Alisha, for being so open with us, vulnerability is so noble in a world like today ❤️. I was really having a bad day and you've helped relieve me of my stresses
I love how real Alisha is with us🤍🤎
I got good at wing liner by practicing in the evening before removing my makeup/washing my face. That way if you mess up it doesn’t ruin your makeup!
For my eyeliner, I start at the corner of my eye and draw a line out and slightly angled (try drawing it so the line would align with the end of your brow) then I match the line/angle on the other side. From there I start at the outer tip of the line and draw in (making a triangle) and continue it to the upper part of my lid/lash line. Then I fill in the triangle and go over it if needed!
ok so BIIIITTCHHHH your eyeliner looks SOOO GOOD!!! The way you started out, by dragging the eyeliner pen down is how I start to draw my line. with more repetition, you'll PERFECT IT!
I love when you talk about mental health Alisha. When my anxiety goes up its usually because a lot of people are around. I normally just grab markers in random colors and just mess around with them on a piece of paper. It really helps.
Miss Marie literally glowing more and more with each videooo✨✨
Alisha being just being so open and real is what I am all here for 💕💕💗
eyeliner tips- don’t close your eye and start from the tip down to like the lower lashline then do the same with the upper one and color in (idk if that makes sense im not good at english but i wear eyeliner every time i go out and these really helped me)
A tip I have for anxiety is to be able to tell when your gonna have a panic attack, for example if you feel it coming, give yourself some reminders
Therapy Reflects with Alisha. Also your saying we don't need no man has really meant a lot to me recently.
Thank you for opening up! I have 2 daughters born Jan 2019 and feb 2020. After having my second daughter and the world shutting down I started having postpartum depression and anxiety. I still deal with mostly anxiety daily. I think the cause of my anxiety is the same, I get anxious when I’m not sure what would/could happen when I’m not in full control. I’ve been on medication for a few months and it’s been helpful. It’s a day to day struggle but if I can do it while being mommy to my 1 and 2 year olds then I KNOW you can 🙂♥️
i love how open you are about going to therapy i'm so proud of you🥺please do more videos like this❤
Cheers for the update on the winged liner mine is okay quite thin wing quite like that at the moment. You are amazing as make-up the product and application you use have improved so much with practice over the years! If anyone can achieve a great winged liner you can ♥️💫
For my liner I find it easiest to rest my elbow on something and keep my eyes open! I also don’t drag it to the inner corner (stop about halfway where the pupil is) so my eyes don’t look any smaller
Give us all the dogs running around 🥰 we don't see the babies enough!!!!
Also, You recognizing your weaknesses is so amazing and just talking about them is enough itself.
Alisha its been so helpful hearing you share about your anxiety journey! I also deal with anxiety but it’s less health based. But my boyfriends anxiety is like yours and he has trouble verbalizing how he’s feeling, but it’s been so helpful to hear about it from you!!
Tips for getting better at winged liner:
1. Practice, practice, PRACTICE!
2. I sit at a table while I do my eyeliner, so my elbow stays leveled and does not change the degree of the wing. (I have of trouble when I don’t do this, worse so I feel like it helps.
3. Try different forms of eyeliner. I prefer the dip in eyeliner over the pencil or marker type, and I prefer the brush applicators over the felt tip ones. So buy a bunch and the dollar or drug store and try a different kind every day or week.
Good luck girl you got this!
My anxiety consists of major stress and things I can’t control. When I’m feeling out of control I honestly just sit and color or read for awhile until my anxiety goes away. But lately it’s been better and it’s because of my therapist. Also eyeliner tip I usually start with the line on my upper lash line so I can map out how thick or thin I want it, and then follow the shape from the corner of my eye to the end of my eyebrow tip.
The key is to start from the inside out and just go for it - don’t hesitate with the eyeliner stroke if you do that’s what cause the wiggly lines
my tips for doing winged liner:
- start with the wing first, i usually just make a line from the end of my top waterline/lash line ig, in that little crease where the bottom and top meet and i kinda just follow the natural shadow/shape of it or try lining it up to the end of my eyebrow
- handheld mirror bc its easier when its closer
- keep your eyes open when you do your eyeliner
- i also find it easier to angle your face up
- OH and also try making the wing on both eyes at the same time, like dont finish one eye and then do the other, i find doing them at the same time helps with making them as symmetrical as possible
Genuinely, I appreciate how open you are about going to therapy. Your solo episode on PB talking about your journey with anxiety inspired me to finally dive in and get the help I've been needing for honestly at least the past 12 years. I tried over the last year during COVID to see a therapist virtually with no luck. I watched your videos one day with BetterHelp as a sponsor. I signed up and got matched almost instantly and have been seeing them every week for almost 3 months now! Thank you for your advocacy of mental health. Excited for this new series.
Yes please do this. I started therapy the beginning of January. But I lost faith in them. Because a woman just broke my trust. But I do want to seek therapy again. Don't worry. Thank you for being so open. I have anxiety and depression
alisha marie’s channel IS my therapy🥺❤️❤️
For the eyeliner instead of trying to stamp it on try this. Put the tip of your eyeliner pen on the outer corner of your eye like make it touch the absolute outer corner then drag the pen outwards with the angle you want and stop at the length you want, detach your eyeliner from your eye then start from the tip of the line you just made and drag inwards to the middle of the eye don't go all the way to the inner corner it doesn't look good, and lastly fill in the blank space and voila. It might not look good the first time and it most likely won't but try to practise it this way instead of the way you do it. Love you
i had a goal of doing liner too and here is my process!
1. make a thin line from the very corner of your eye to the end of your brow.
2. next connect just below (to keep the point) the tip of the thin line to whoever u want on your eye. i like to go for the middle of my eye.
3. fill it in
at the end i do come clean up w remover and concealer :) hope this helps
I think you are a 100% CORRECT in saying that everyone should experience having a therapist. I've been putting it off for a WHILE and hearing you start this series will be a huge help! Quick question for a future episode (if applicable) how did you go about finding your therapist? Were they recommended through another doctor, friend, google search, etc... and also how did you know that it was a good match for you? Thanks again! Can't wait for more Vlogs ❤️
I’m glad CZcamsrs are real with us with therapy. I just started talking to a therapist this year and honestly it does help a lot I never thought I would need one till I did.
A few tips for eyeliner is don’t press as hard and make your wing a little pointer at the end. To make your eye look bigger start with your wing at the very edge of your eye and do it at an angle your want. I love your videos keep up the amazing work
Tip for eyeliner use a dark eyeshadow and an angle brush to make the outline of the wing first then go over it with liquid eyeliner. Makes it so much easier!
I definitely loved your eyeliner. Not sugarcoating or anything and I really liked how minimalistic it was. And the lashes really helped it. I think you should put on eyeliner more often because your makeup look was quite different from your other vlogs and in a good way. And whenever you sit down and talk about a topic or anything I find that therapeutic. So basically love this series.
I mastered winged liner during quarantine! I first started by using brown eyeshadow and practicing different wing angles on my eyes. And once I liked the shape, I traced over with the liquid liner. It still takes me some time but now I don’t need to outline with eyeshadow and just go straight in with liquid liner ❤️ love you, hope it helps
I struggle with anxiety and those feelings are the same I feel and end up in panic attacks sometimes when I can't control it in time. Therapists and reqding about it has help me a lot!!
I suffer from academic/test anxiety. What really helps when I start spiraling is to just combat my anxious thoughts with logic. So if I’m stressing over a hw question, instead of instantly thinking I’m stupid and will never reach my goals, I try to think of solutions , such as watching Khan Academy or going to tutoring.
I hope this helped someone!
Winged eyeliner is actually not that difficult. I would definitely recommend investing in a good felt tip liner with a thin tip for more precision. Start with making a single line which looks like it’s extending from your lower lash line and then connect it with the tip lash line about half a centimetre in and fill it in. Boom winged liner
Alisha, you are a true angel of a person. You are so tender-spirited and kind-hearted. I have never met you in person, but I do feel like I know you on some kind of level. I have been following your journey since 2014. In the past 9 years, you have inspired me in so many ways. You have taught me to always believe in myself and to never stop chasing my dreams. You also taught me to know my worth and to stick up for myself. I feel like I have grown up with you. Your videos were a huge part of my childhood. I hope that you are so proud of yourself for how far you have come and the person you have and continue to become.
I suffer from severe anxiety as well. I am actually on medication just like you. I am on it for social and health. I have had many surgeries throughout my life and my father who sadly passed away back in 2018 had many crazy, scary health issues too. Thank you for being so brave and opening up about your anxiety. It's nice to know I'm not alone when it comes to that.
I love you so much, Alisha. You are forever my favorite CZcamsr. I hope you see this comment and reply. I hope that you are doing well. Much love to you always, Queen of CZcams. You are a beautiful light and gift to this world. ❤️❤️❤️
Before committing with the eyeliner, I usually start with eyeshadow and a eyeliner brush to map it out, it’s easier to wipe away and make corrections! Then when perfected, go over it with eyeliner :)
Alisha… I feel the same way! Recently, I’ve been struggling with anxiety more lately. I definitely agree that it has to do with not being in control. Which I just realized from watching your video😭 I’m having a realization lol. Now, I’m going to remind myself that it’s okay to not be in control and things don’t always have to be perfect 👍🏽
Can relate so much, I don't know why but I used to never get that many anxiety attacks but ever since around the middle of summer, I have been getting panic attacks like twice a week about medical things.
Another tip for the eyeliner (the one that I ALWAYS use) is clear sticky tape and it always works for me!!!!
You probably won't see this. Please include more of the pups playing...I just lost my 16 y/o shih tzu and Chloe reminds me of her a lot and that clip just made me so happy.
lime green is YOUR COLOR! Also you looked SO good with the liner
I also struggle with Anxiety and Pure O OCD. I am very particular about certain things like cleanliness, morals and work ethic. I try to put that on other people at time and it is unwelcomed. So if I am bothered by someone’s else behavior or actions then I just let it go by allowing someone else to approach the person about it. I just tell myself if it is that bad then someone will be bothered by it too. Being the confrontational person is just overwhelming after awhile.
you should try winged eyeliner with a dark brown/black eyeshadow! I used to love doing liquid but it can be harsh without lashes...eyeshadow is easier to blend/smoke out and you can perfect/sharpen the wing by using a makeup sponge and dragging up beside the wing - hard to explain but hope that made sense 💕
One of the best eyeliner tips I've learned is you can use a thin brush and make a line with concealer first, and then trace over it with liner! This way you can "erase" and move the lines if they are uneven or you don't like them, before committing to a full liner. Has really helped me have even eyes!
Eye liner TIP: use liquid liner pencil tip as a guide, see what angle you like and then press it as stamp to the eye flat, then you’ll have a shape and only will need to make it sharper, conect and fill miss ing spots. Only works with “sharpie” style liner pen
Sending so much love from India !! You’re my inspiration since like 7 years 🥺🥺💞💞
Kudos to you for getting back to your winged eye liner journey! Your make up looked really cute and the wings actually look very cute and change your eyes a lot. Thanks for not deleting the footage and for sharing your experiences, it helped a lot to take a step back myself! 💛
For wing liner: start at the end of like ur lash line and then draw a line towards end of eyebrow but like don’t be shy just go for it don’t go slow otherwise it’ll look bad, then go from the middle of the line drawn and draw a line straight down and thennn fill in
this video literally helped me so much bc i am also scared of my health and i would of never even thought of having anxiety and i really love how you explain things because i also spiral about everything, i love you so much your so helpful i’m so glad you talk about these things
Use lancome liquid liner!! Incredibly easy to maneuver and fix as well. Start from the middle rather than the edge. And pull your corner taut. Go in a straight line towards the edge and a slight angle upwards past the eye lid. Works everytime =)
