Winged Eyeliner Hack for Sagging Lids

- My favorite technique for anxiety free precise winged eyeliner that should work for every eye shape!
✦ Product Links ✦
The non waterproof pencil in this video was made by a lab for me as I’m trying to create the best liner for this technique. The closest I’ve found is what I’ve linked from the brand Jane Iredale. You simply need a non waterproof pencil that doesn’t tug the skin. Also, any preferred liquid liner will work. I find that layering too much of the liquid causes the eye to crinkle so get the shape with the pencil and set with one coat of liquid. As for the waterproof tight liner, Milani is the best I’ve ever found. I have the old packaging which used to be a sharpenable pencil. They put it into a plastic container, same formula. The blackest black that stays put with almost zero transfer. Hope this info helps lift your lids like it does mine! 😃

Thank you for telling us you had plastic surgery. I’m 43 and knowing this makes me feel so much better about my own eyelids. You are so beautiful and inspiring.
I’m really happy I did it but eventually I will have to accept the laws of gravity 😂 it takes away the extra skin showing more lid but doesn’t technically lift the eye. Maybe only a facelift would do that I’m not sure
@@erinparsonsmakeup You look so good, Erin, but if you're bothered by the 'sag' I'm sure you could easily lift it with facial yoga (muscle tone).
@@erinparsonsmakeup I'm really happy you brought it up too! I have a lot of skin on my eyelids (genetic) even when I was a kid, but I want to wear a lot of makeup! I will be getting surgery on my eyelids soon
Thank you for your honesty. I was wondering…. I thought you’re just too pretty 🤩 Love you
Same x3!
The problem about plastic surgery is not the fact that someone decided to have it done, but when they lie about it and make others feel bad about themselves that they can not keep up with the competition. Honesty is the way. and you genuinely showed us how to do it. Thank you very much for that! You are a real icon! your example everyone should follow.
I believe they should be honest, but how you feel about yourself is nobody else’s responsibility. There’s people who’ll look good naturally regardless, are they supposed to just turn ugly for the rest of us?
@@chickenisindeedmystyle7316problem occurs when someone try to convince others about that their "beauty" or youngness comes from natural source when it is due to plastic surgery. because this is called lying and LYING is a problem in all cases. no one was talking about looks, this was about honesty and transparency especially when someone is with a great influence about such things.
A person choosing to have surgery is noone else's business. All aren't comfy sharing. Their lying about it has nothing to do with you. If it makes you feel bad that they lie...it's reality, hun, people lie. And they have the right to lie. It's their bodies. I don't want to sound like I'm being mean. I understand what you're saying. Of course it's irritating hearing Kylie say she never had her lips done. We all knew she did even as she continued to lie. The beauty standards of today are so insanely unattainable that we should all know it's ALL a lie. Instagram, Tik Tok, music vids, magazine covers...filters, makeup, AI...we need to learn to be satisfied with what we got.
And Photoshop each picture to death like Madonna
As a freelance artist, I LOVE how transparent you are about using "hacks" like starting with non-waterproof pencil. I use medical tape on my clients for sharp wings. We all have our strengths and have to find what works!
Medical tape…. Genius!
@@alexandrasaadi7149 Just make sure it's not the waterproof long-last kind, and prep the skin with eye cream first!
@@madamedex5989 oh yeah! Thanks!! I have a multitude of eye creams… from rich to a serum texture. Does it matter what formula I should pre with?
@@alexandrasaadi7149 Nope. Just regular skin prep. I've used scotch tape in the past, but I know some people have sensitivities to adhesives, so I switched to med tape. It can be extra sticky but I got good results recently with just making sure there's plenty of moisture on the skin.
Thanks for sharing your technique. ❤
I needed this so badly. 60 years old and still want to enjoy makeup, not use it like a mask. Thank you Erin.
Rock it, please 🙏🏼 and feel beautiful 😊
I am in the same boat! I’m 54 and pretty good skin still. And I love makeup but I need to know how to keep looking good and not older because of my poor technique
Question 🙋♀️ what timeframe is the cat eye or wing 🪽 from?
@@Timetravel1111I'm going to guess Egyptian. Cleopatra wore it.
@@traciemcdaniel3660 well of course I should have thought of that! I love Ancient Egyptian.
This was hands down the best winged eyeliner tutorial ever! Seriously, thank you from someone with saggy lids. It’s usually some crazy shape to draw and drawing specific “shapes” which for me is like writing in ink on wet soggy paper
Writing on soggy paper is so hilarious but you nailed it 😅 that’s why I like a pencil that doesn’t tug and then the pointed qTip to clean up because the eye wont be moving around, like soggy paper 😂
That’s what I thought. I never thought of going over the sag, I always pulled the skin to apply liner. My Big mistake.
Exactly! I never thought about sketching before liquid liner as well.
Totally agree…hands dowm
I love how honest she was about her plastic surgery. I'm 37 and starting to notice some less than firm areas we will say haha...it makes me feel better that a woman as beautiful as she is admits even she needs a little help sometimes, and is totally honest about it...thanks for that😊
*taut
I was just wondering if she’d tell me where she got her nose lol she’s so beautiful! ❤
I started seeing more lines in my 30s 🥲
37 ist still Young
Oh, how I wish I could have that done. I need the money for other things like rent & bills.
All of my life I was complimented about my eyes. I'm in my 60s now. Everything has sagged. And I mean everything. When they say, "do these exercises for this or that" Do them!!! lol
I have the worst ADHD, your videos are the only ones I can fully watch. Love them.
As a former makeup artist, I would get serious performance anxiety doing liquid liner after eyeshadow. This is genius.
This is the single best tutorial for winged liner for older/sagging/hooded eyes!!!!
Time to go get a pencil eyeliner!!!!!!
THANK YOU
Oh I’m so happy to hear that 🤗!
You are beautifully spoken - like someone out of a different era to be honest. I don't know whether it's cultivated or natural but it's very measured and confident with a lovely tone and it's very pleasant to listen to.
I was just saying that myself. Would love to see her have a character on The Marvellous Mrs Mabel. Random, perhaps but I love the show 😍
I always have the same thought when I listen to her voice. She could do voice over work and voice acting , and I'd love a voice like hers reading audio books 😅
Wow this was so sweet! I never really liked my voice but maybe all those old movies I grew up watching rubbed off on me 😅
Yes!!! I love her voice !!
I was thinking the same thing! As another comment suggested, I would love to hear her narrate an audiobook! Everything from her tone, to timing, to inflections in her voice ...just gorgeous and soothing!
This is absolutely what I needed to hear. I have super hooded/saggy lids and have been considering blepharoplasty. I've tried MANY techniques from CZcams and every "hooded eye" tutorial is like 10% of the amount of hood/sag that I have. Thank you thank you thank you for your honesty, for your amazing techniques, and for SUCH an entertaining channel. You're beautiful and I really appreciate everything that you do! ❤
Same!!!!
You have to be joking _...where?!_
@@Sssssssslf if you're asking where my hood/sag is, I make efforts to hold my brows high in photos so that it doesn't show.
@@AllysonRhiley no what I meant by my comment was if that is you in your profile picture then you have absolutely no sag whatsoever! The complete opposite!
@@Sssssssslf Yeah I really have to make an effort to hold my brows up in photos so that the sag doesn't show. Otherwise my wing ends up chopped in half and pointing towards the floor. Lol.
This is my exact routine with my black eyeliner now!! I started doing it when i noticed sagging. I feel so validated right now 🥰🥰
I feel so respected by you using the right term “sagging eye” and not “hooded eyes” like what a lot of Eyeliner Tutorials use today .
That’s why i love watching your videos you are very knowledgeable about make up and teach me so much . 😊
For real, that term is way too saturated at this point people will argue what is, and, what isn't a "hooded eye" but like sagging skin makes much more sense and less confusion
But I have both and am wondering what the difference is or if it matters for this technique. I’ve always had hooded eyes but now that I’m older they’re more pronounced (ig skin is sagging). But she was talking about people who had a lot of makeup space when they were younger then the skin tends to sag? A lot of makeup space has never been me.
Hooded eyes aren't the same as sagging eyes so why would they use that term? What a weird thing to respect.
It's not weird 🙄 it just show's you think you know it all.
And what you know is common knowledge to everyone else.
Well, I hate to break it to you. But a-lot of make up influence wanna be don't know the differences and say they have hooded eye when they really don't have it at all.
So yes I respect her that she is knowledgeable about what she is talking about.
Because people who don't know the difference can think that this is what they have and don't understand why it doesn't look the same on there eyes. And most of all if you don't have anything good to say then you don't have to say anything
In my country we have a saying that say some time being silent makes you look much smarter than saying something like you did.
You could just have just said the first sentence you really didn't need to add the second one to try to put me down.
You really got the wrong person for that.
@@shaharfecher *yawn*
THIS IS THE SINGLE BEST EYELINER TUTORIAL I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE OH MY GOD. As someone with hooded and starting to sag lids… THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFEEEEEE! 😭❤️
Even though I’m only 26, my eyelids have decided to sag and be droopy, so this helps so much! I love how you said it doesn’t have to be perfect it makes me feel so much better
Retin-a
@@tnt01 even if it's genetic? Some of us just have hooded lids even at a young age. Some of us lose it to some degree as we age and lose some baby fat. Mine improved with regular directional massage with one of those silicone bristled face cleaning massagers (I have the medium sized Foreo) over several years of diligent use, but mostly I've gotten the outer corners observably higher than where they started off (my eyes were technically perfectly horizontal but seemed droopy because of excess skin)
You might simply have hooded eyes, which isn't age related, it just how genetics decided your eyelids should be, kinda like how some folks have a monolid
@@tnt01 Yeah that doesn't help if that's your default lid shape. The retinol cream I use has improved my undereye bags a lot though
@@Amy_the_Lizard it helped me.
I love, that you are teaching this technique. My issue isn't sagging per day, but more that my actual eye shape makes a dramatic wing hard for me. Also, I love the transparency. From just accepting gravity, to saying "I didn't like how this made me feel, so I had surgery and changed it." It's extremely refreshing in the beauty community. I so enjoy your content, and think you are a breath of fresh air. Beautiful!
I'm now considering to start every conversation with " Hi, I have saggy eyes." I loved it soo much.😁😎Thank you for your very clear, articulate, straightforward and straight to the point, honest video with no bs.🖤I'm absolutely ready for this kind of tips/hacks sort of videos, you're such a professional in this area and I'm very glad you're getting subscribers and recognition you ABSOLUTELY DESERVE!❤ I watch you along with Lisa Eldrigde, Wayne Goss, Robert Welsh, Alexandra Anele, John McClaine and many more! Thank you for your talent and skill!💜
1. Preach!!!
2. You named exactly THE ONES😍 I' d just add Rose Makeup World.
3. I think you need Maria Catala in your life (a spanish MUA) because she' s back on YT.
4. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Actually when I watched it back I laughed so hard at that intro - gone are the days of welcome to my channel, we gotta get to the point 😅 which inspired my thumbnail! Will def be bringing more quick tip videos. This was really fun for me!
Those are among my favorites too…I trust Erin, Wayne and Robert🖤 they truly are coming from such a good place
@@erinparsonsmakeup I loved this new intro ❤😂 the tutorial was amazing ❤
PLEASE do more on sagging eyes, and hooded eyes! I cant use any of my favorite eyeshadows anymore, and am so sad!!! Please do hooded eyes! xxx
Me too! I used to do a lot of winged liner and shadow and it just doesn’t look good anymore :( it’s very sad! My eyes are also getting more and more uneven so it’s even harder
@@gabriellaberglund3651 I know, it’s really sad… I was thinking today.. if its like his now, hooded and crepey, what will it be like in 5 years!! I did the ‘bat wing’ and that works pretty good, makes the illusion of an even wing, even on hooded but that takes time, each morning, when I am rushing for work, now I use a pure white and it helps!
I have found some techniques for wearing shadow but I certainly could not do the way the old beauty gurus do. Less is more but I mean we can wear punches of color but not super thick layers of products. I’ll def do some eyeshadow tutorials soon 😊
Thank you for being honest about the surgery. You’re gorgeous and so talented and it helps us regular ladies have realistic standards on ourselves and if we want a little tune up it takes the shame out of it to be HONEST. So refreshing!
She is one of the very few and far between people who is so very gifted, and yet doesn't think she is elevated above and beyond everyone else. To admit self flaws and recognize ones shortcomings is not easy. However she is so strong, she builds on everything. She knows how to polish you into a diamond.
I love watching you do your makeup. My eyes have been severely dry for 30 years, and we aren't supposed to wear anything. I miss it, so I'm living through you and others. So thank you.
Can you do lipstick? I love a bold lip with a totally clean face, so chic 😊
@@erinparsonsmakeup oooo that's a good idea. I'm dyspraxic and struggle with makeup but thatcsounds fun 😊
@Erin Parsons Makeup Yes. Thank you for asking. I do wear it to bring colour to my face. I'm grateful that we are allowed to do that.
Thank you for the thumbs up everyone. Much appreciated. 💜
@@janesmith1398 can you still use eyelash glue to adhere those decorative rhinestones or "pearls" or beads to below or above your eyes? They're a fun way to add a little accent and sometimes even color near the eyes without using makeup.
I’m fifty nine and my eyes are extremely hooded. I haven’t worn a wing in, well, I don’t even know when bc my eyes have always been very hooded. But, I’m going to give this a try. Hopefully I’ll have success. Thanks Erin.
❤️💜💚
Let me know how it goes! May take a little practice but this technique helps me so much 🤗
This is SO incredibly helpful! I had reconstructive surgery on my face a few years back after a car accident and I have really STRUGGLED with doing my eyeliner properly on the eye the surgery was done on because it has a lot more saggy skin. This, BY FAR, has helped me create the look I was really going for and I am so grateful! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
Imagine having a lab create an eyepencil exclusively for you, that's peak queen energy
This is a crossover between drawing and sculpture!😍 Once the black pencil is placed it becomes a marble piece and you become an sculptor who chisels it with a cotton bud and remover until the desired eyeliner shape emerges. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I love this analogy! You just need that blocky shape to start and then you can carve out perfection! 😊
@@erinparsonsmakeup 🎨✍🏼🖌️+ 🗿⛏️ 😉
Gosh, Erin, u are stunning ! So true,nobody deals with sagging eyes !! I love this technique. I'm gonna try it tomorrow!❤❤
i'm livinggggg cos this is exactly how i've always done my liner!! 😂 good to know i'm golden on my techinque for decades to come, thanks so much for sharing! 💖
Thank you so much for this tutorial.💗
I used to have gorgeous big open top lids. I could do all sorts of make up techniques, and was often complemented on my eyes. Even by age 45 I had very minimal sag, and still pretty nice lids. So I began thinking to myself, “Wow, maybe saggy lids won’t be as much of a problem for me as I thought they’d be…. Oh, how blissfully ignorant I was.
I am now 51 and in the past six years, my saggy eyelids have gone from “minimal” to MAXIMAL, in a major way! And it felt like it happened overnight! It’s like I woke up one morning to my lids screaming, “I can’t take it anymore!” and then watched them lay down on my face and die of exhaustion!🤦🏼♀️
The worst part is, I can’t figure out how to do my eye make up in a flattering way anymore. I used to think I did my make up pretty well, now I’m thinking it was only because my face was a younger better canvas, making it easier to do.🤷🏼♀️☹️
I love your content, all the history, stories, everything. After seeing this tutorial, I love you even more! Keep up your beautiful work!💗😁
P.S. My profile picture was taken about six years ago. It was soon after that, my saggy-eyelid-armageddon started. And yes, I know it’s an old profile picture, I like the way I looked, and no, I don’t ever intend to change it!😜👍
I love how this tutorial is helpful with creating the standard and iconic winged liner look. I feel like there are a lot of tutorials that are designed to work around hooded eyes, but this tutorial shows how you can create that classic winged look without having to do a totally unique and uncommon eyeliner shape. A slay in my opinion.
Thank you for being so refreshingly honest and down to earth! I had a lot of eyelid to play with when I was young. Now at 62, I’m having to re-learn makeup and new techniques to accommodate the changes.
Isn't it weird that our face can change so much as we age that we have to approach makeup totally differently then. My whole jawline is changed, the shape of my eyes have changed. Lots of recalculating and learning new techniques
@@bossyboots5000 It’s true! When I was younger, I never imagined the changes that have happened.
I love that particular blonde shade so much, it looks so beautiful on you!
I love your honesty, and I love that even an artist of your calibre is willing to say they can't immediately go in with liquid liner. For a lot of clients, I can, but I'm so grateful to know this trick now and have it in my repertoire for clients with hooded lids who request wings. Most of my clients don't want winged liner, but it's great to know! Thank you so much for helping me continue my education!
The best winged eyeliner tutorial I've seen.
Your Monroesque look is so good on you, especially teaming it with art deco inspired jewelry!
Thank you, Erin. I love this technique. Can't wait to try it on my eyes! I'll let you know how it turns out. I'm 57 & have the saggy eyelid issue & I was only using liquid liner. The skin would sag over the line & try as I might, I had no idea how to fix it. You're my hero! 💋
Please let me know how it goes! 🤗
Pleeeease more tips and tricks. This helps me a ton. I used to wear winged liner on the daily in my 20s could slap it on in a minute or 2 and it Look great. As soon as I hit 30 I noticed the sagging and my eyeliner started looking wonky. SO TYSM! I cannot wait to try this tommorrow.
My friends and I, as I'm sure many other mere mortals out there, would love to see a hooded eye tutorial. Any product in your hands works like magic, honestly. Thanks again. The vibe is gorgeous!
Love Erin! I am 73 and now I am interested in make-up again. Not all my efforts are successful but still lots of fun to try these techniques. More please
It's crazy, I have no interest in wearing makeup myself, but the art and technique of it all is absolutely fascinating. Thanks for the video!
Ohhh you are very clever, this was so helpful to me with my aging eyelids. I adore yr work so much. Very feminine and retro.🌹I've always loved makeup, but now at 59, I'm having to reduce and change my look. This works brilliantly 👏 👌
I use the OG brush with liquid liner. The brush doesn't pull on my skin like the pens and pencils do. Now that I'm an old goth lady in my late 40s, I'm kind of glad the brush was all that was available in the late 80's/early 90's, it forced me to learn how to do it well. It was quite the learning curve, honestly. How many of y'all remember making the wing bigger and bigger as you tried to correct mistakes 😅😂
Oh Erin I just loved this. I am a woman who struggles with "the wing". I have tried several different techniques and liners but thus far nothing I have really gotten comfortable with or felt good about the result has worked. This little technique looks like a winner so I cant wait to try it out. I also am starting to notice the sagging eyelids as well as fine lines and shhhh wrinkles. That just between us girls tho 😂! I will be 51 in July and have always been into makeup. I find myself needing to learn these great lil tricks since gravity is no longer my friend.. haha!! Soo I certainly look forward to the next video to learn something new that will actually work. Just a suggestion but I also struggle w brows. I have a scar in my right brow and it seems impossible to even get cousins outta these gals! I would love something on how to fix this problem or give the illusion that its fixed. Its not so much as issue w having the scar its how it affects my brow and brow growth in the scarred area. Please HELP !!! As always your a joy to watch and I just love all of your content. A beautiful soul that shows inside and out !!! ❤🫶🤩🥰
I'm so happy you're making CZcams- Videos. There is so much we can learn from you. I have saggy eyelids too. And this is so helpful. Can't wait to learn more from you and about Make Up history.
To me this makeup look is both iconic and classic. I didn't think of tight lining so I'm so glad that you mentioned it. You are an incredibly talented artist. Btw, I hadn't noticed the scar.
The doctor did a good job then 😅 but I just want to be transparent. Thanks for your comment!
@@erinparsonsmakeup you're welcome.
I have saggy hooded eyes and this helped a LOT makeup artists rarely do tutorials on this type of eye shape so thank you a lot for this tutorial
It's crazy how good and kind she is 🙌🏽
Wow that last still shot of you was sooo Marilynesque! You are a joy to watch and learn from...thank you Erin!
It's cool that you are so open about your cosmetic surgery. Your result looks amazing and natural! You look 32
I am 62 and ALWAYS and I mean A,WAYS wore winged liner, now you have saved my life !!!😊
What I love about her is when she's giving tips and advice, she's articulate and knowledgeable. She knows her shit and she's professional.
OMFG ERIN VIDEO PURRRR
your beauty is only enhanced by those signs of maturity. eyeliner tutorial is Lovely ! i have hooded eyes and my eye area is Super Sensitive and this technique seems doable for me (liquid eyeliner alone is like near impossible for me to correct and do in one go )
omg setting the shape and then going over it with liquid liner later after everything else is applied ... 🤯It's so simple yet so brilliant, I can't wait to try it!
Erin you are sincerely a striking woman. Sometimes I say to myself…this woman does not need a swipe of makeup. You have a million dollar personality as well. 💚
Thank you us saggy eyelid girls need tutorials too! So amazing I followed your guide came out beautiful!❤🎉
THANK YOU ! I'm 55 last couple of years ive really struggled with sagging eyes and like you I'm not ready to go to basicly 1 shadow look to "help", but also not ready for an eyelid lift either (probably coming soon to a plastic surgeon near me😂) lLove your channel ❤❤❤❤
I'm really loving the no-intro situation, just jump right in to the important stuff and let your expertise speak for itself ☺
I have hooded eyes and they are sagging a lot. I have been thinking about getting the same surgery to help mine look better. I’m 48 and things are sagging everywhere lol. You are such an inspiration and so beautiful!
This is the liner tutorial I needed. 🖤🖤🖤 My lids are sooo droopy and annoying to put liner on. Thank you so, SOOO much, Erin!!!
I just had emergency surgery, so I'm on bedrest, but ya know...who says I can't play with my liner and look glamorous whilst I lay here. It's the perfect time to practice. 😅💅🖤
Best wishes for a full recovery 🌸
@allisonnovak500 That's so sweet of you! Thank you so much! 🥺 Best wishes to you, too, for all your endeavors, health and well-being! 🖤🖤🖤 Any may your eyeliner always be on point! 🖤🖤🖤
@@ForReal_Lauren Hopefully my eyeliner will be on point after I hire a crane to lift the sag! 🤣
Thank you for the tutorial, and YES to more short, long form tutorials! You’re my makeup inspiration 😘
I’ve been missing wearing my winged liner for about ten years. I never thought I could wear it again until watching this! Thank you so much!❤
The intro: "Hi! I have saggy eyes" lol love the accessories, the makeup, the tips, the no liner eyes, you look so regal♥
😂❤
You’re wonderful. Thank you for distilling and sharing what took you decades to learn/perfect. 💋
Years ago I had a friend who did makeup for an agency here in Chicago. She recommended this process and I've used it ever since. It's the best!
I think we would love to see how you do your makeup around your eyeliner!! See you go in with eyeliner first and show us how you do your makeup around that to look as seamless as it does!
So few people have your natural eye color and it’s absolutely stunning. I, too, have saggy eyelids - runs in the family! - and I cannot wait to use some of these tips. Thank you! ❤
Thanks for the hack!! I love your videos ❤
Thanks for the lessons, Erin! I also use this technique on clients, and like you said, it does take away the anxiety. I always regret being lazy and going in with liquid liner on myself. Even when I’m in a hurry, this is still faster and safer because I’m not always having the easiest and best liner day.
Wonderful tips and it looks stunning.
Especially grateful for the frank and honest mention of surgery. It's so refreshing to see someone unapologetically talk about having a surgery that makes them feel happier. Drives me crazy when people get critical.
Im gonna try this in my hodded eyes. Love this hack! ❤️
Me too i have it
GIRL! OMG! THAAAAANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU! I've admired your liner since the first time I saw a short with you. I've always had saggy lids. I've always LOVED winged liner, even in the early 90s. (Man did I get made fun of when I entered grade 8 with winged liner! Did it anyway.) This is the first tut that has covered our beautiful shape of eyes. I love you so much! I'm going to try this RIGHT NOW! Also, teach me your ways, gimme all the tuts you're amazing.
Ha! They called me the makeup master of disaster in 8th grade, and I could have cared less too! I got a set of rainbow colored mascaras and dammit…I was going to use a different color every day! Lol…kids are cruel. Glad to find another person who stood their ground too, and did what you liked! ❤
I used to sneak in the bathroom at school and do my makeup because I wasn’t allowed to wear it 😝 I bet your winged liner is beautiful! Those bullies were just jealous 😊
This is such a great tutorial. I've always had "too much" skin on my eye lids. My cousin would complain about my wrinkly eye lids when we were teenagers doing each other's makeup and I always struggle with eye liner to this day. I'm not looking forward to more drooping.
Glad to hear so many of you have eyeliner anxiety. I love just wearing black eyeliner. It looks so beautiful on it's own. I don’t wear a lot of eyeshadow because of my oily lids. When I think about putting it on.... there's a lot of hesitation. Then I end up not doing it. Thanks for the amazing tip.
I love your longer content 💜💜💜 so informative and interesting. I do appreciate your shorts immensely. You pick SO MUCH information and history into such a small window of time. You are a true artist, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your love of history with us as well.
Loved the tip… I want more tips like this! 😊 you’re beautiful!
thank you thank you THANK YOU! I've been struggling so hard trying to get my eyeliner on perfectly the very first time and it's always a miserable time. Being able to sketch it out first and then go over it with the liquid liner is LIFE CHANGING
I am DEFINITELY going to try your tips! I have big eyes with large eyelid space, and for the last 15 years--I'm 62 now--I've really struggled to do cat-eye looks and winged liner, thanks to the sogginess of my eyelids. I've all but given up and resorted to deep gray or taupe powder all over the lid with a bit underneath at the outer third of the lower lid. But it's a rather dull, smoky look as opposed to the fabulous vintage look you're doing, which is much more special-looking for evening. Thank you EVER so much, Erin.
Yes!! I needed this!!❤
Thank you for being so real! Thank you for giving solutions to issues we get when older that we don’t necessarily voice aloud (our inner voices prattle on& on)! I LOVE your videos & shorts; I’m forever impatiently waiting for your next video ❤
Ugh I’ve been so busy I have barely been able to film. Also finding that if I shoot longform I can’t really do short form. It’s difficult timewise to do both. But I do have a fun video coming Sunday!😊
@@erinparsonsmakeup Yaaaay!!!! I’m looking forward to it 😍 You’re so sweet to respond-THANK YOU!
Amazing tip!! I've struggled with this and I have NEVER thought about using non waterproof first to sketch. I am soooo happy you share your knowledge. You could charge for courses but here you are, giving us all these tips, helping us step up our makeup game, for free!! You're the best!
I started using pencil before liquid a couple of years ago, and omg what a difference it makes. At 54 my eyes are texured and my lids are drooping at the corners so the liquid liner tends to break apart now. Using the pencil underneath really holds it in place all day, and i literally mean all day. I work 10 hour days in customer service, and my liner looks just applied when i get home. Ive been doing winged liner since i was 16 on and off. But for about 20 years it's been my go to with every eye look. Thank you for this tip, I can totally confirm that it absolutely works. You are so beautiful and amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge beyond just the finished makeup looks. ❤
Brilliant! Can you do one about overlining lips? When I try i always end up with a fish mouth haha
Can you do a video on vintage skincare that we can still buy and it works? ❤
Would've NEVER known u had any work done, so that's really cool of u to mention it &give us realistic expectations when u could've remained stealth!😊
I'm 37 &am struggling w/my 11s😩, jowls☹️, &saggy eyelids😔, so I always appreciate tips &tricks to minimize those, so THANK YOU!❤
Erin, thank you so much! I'm a huge fan of yours.
Your mindset about make up and appearance seems to come from a place of creativity versus the 'filtered influencers' who gather so many of us in close to the computer screen to tell us with their subtext, "I'm going to teach you how to not be so ugly. Instead, you can be pretty like me". . .
By contrast, you are indeed beautiful and glamorous, but you give us history and context. And I connect w your love of colors and textures and techniques. With you, I find a sense of acceptance, curiosity, whimsy and most appreciated a sense of play! It turns make up application from a fright fest of insecurity, approval seeking and conformity to an art studio of exploration. Thanks for sharing yourself with us!
I just love your work and passion and professionalism. Such a pleasure to watch ♥️
i love your work erin! do you happen to have any tips for sagging hooded/monolids? makeup stresses me out so much since one liner always has to be thicker on one side and it looks dumb. plus my lashes on one side are always pushed down too. (bc of my uneven eyes)
I think the best thing to do is for me to find someone with this eye shape and share a few different looks. 🤗 it’s sort of hard to explain ideas in comments so would rather just show ya!
Erin makes me love makeup and history I’ve learned a lot from her she’s such a beautiful soul 🥹💕
I’m 42 and I’m telling you, just last week, I mastered my liner. I have always went right in with liquid and it is SCARY!!! Gonna grab that pencil to try this method as it has never occurred to me to line before anything else!Thank you beautiful!! Oh… do you have a metal concert/festival look anywhere? I’d LOVE to see that!! Xoxo 💋💋
I don’t think so, but I’ll keep that in mind for next season 😊
I’m 3/4 Asian and 1/4 white and I’ve had slightly heavy lids from birth lol..they aren’t quite monolids but also aren’t deep and this look has helped me finally be able to both see my cat eye and also help with droopy lids that have recently dropped further (I’m 42) instead of looking straight ahead I tilt my chin up and look “down” my nose at the mirror and create that straight angle to form a cat eye..it makes it a little more smooth but keeps the drama lol
I'm so happy to have found this video! Last month I watched a video that recommended that hooded eyes not wear liquid eyeliner, which bummed me out, thinking my eye shape was no longer viable for liquid. The mapping technique with the pencil before the liquid is genius. I just tried it, and the liner on my left looks really good - the eyeliner on my right eye looks unhinged. This is defiantly a technique that will take some practice but now I can see on myself that it works! It's a gorgeous shade of blonde color that you have. ✨
Yes please! Do more of these quick tips. I am 41 years old, so this has really changed my game for applying my liner compared to my 20's 😊
Erin is physically perfect and seems so incredibly smart and kind. I admire her so much
Her makeup is always so AMAZING
I used your tips and I have never had an easier time applying my eyeliner!!! Totally life changing and it stayed on so much longer and also stayed neat and in place. THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks, Erin. You are always so informative. I have been doing winged liner for 30 years and still learned great tips from this tutorial, especially for the over 40 eye. ☺️
this is the best most comprehensive tutorial I've ever seen for doing eyeliner/wings...I am 58 ans I've never been able to do wings bc it just never looks right on my eyes but i am going to try this. i just found your channel and i love it. thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing about your surgery. I love that you did that. You are so honest and straightforward. Extremely talented and absolutely delightful.❤
Holy sh!t!!! You have single-handedly restored my faith in my ability to have WIIINGS!! God, I love you WOMAN! ❤️ 💋
Wow, I am 55 with hooded eyes and this video is amazing for a fantastic how to! Thank you sooooo very much!
There's simply not enough great content for aging skin from creators like you! Thank you so much.
Omg that is SUCH a good idea, to go over the liner with a waterproof liner!!! Why did I never think of that??
