I Tried TikTok’s Eyeliner Filter Hack: See the Images

• TikTok consumer Grace M Choi created a filter that helps map out your excellent winged eyeliner.
• The filter relies in your eye form.
• One editor examined it out on her downturned, hooded eyes to see if it really works.

Even though my life revolves round magnificence, I can not draw winged eyeliner to save lots of my life. I can apply mascara like a professional, do an entire face of foundation in a minute flat, and line my lips with out even wanting in a mirror, however winged eyeliner? No manner. I’ve downturned eyes which might be additionally hooded, and though I’ve watched numerous YouTube movies and tutorials on the subject, I’ve by no means been capable of grasp any form of eyeliner on my higher lid.

Lately, I stumbled throughout a TikTok filter created by consumer Grace M Choi that claims that will help you draw the right winged liner on your eye form. I’ve examined different filters created by Choi, like one which helped me map out my perfect eyebrow shape and one other that led me to contour my face in a completely different way. I figured it could not damage to do this one, too, even when (or particularly as a result of) I used to be completely clueless when it got here to eyeliner.

Most individuals testing out the filter on the app have been utilizing liquid eyeliner, however I opted to make use of the Neen Side Eye Liner ($19) in Jet as a result of it would not tug and I really like the creamy method. Plus, it is one of many few formulation I’ve tried that really stays all day lengthy. To see whether or not or not the filter was nearly as good as everybody on TikTok stated it was, I made a decision to begin out by doing my left eye as I often would if I have been going to use winged eyeliner myself. As I discussed, I do not do it typically, however I needed to match and see if utilizing the filter actually made a distinction.

On my left eye, I held the pencil on the nook of my eye and flicked it outward. From there, I drew a skinny line above my eye and linked the 2. After ending up that eye (which did not look excellent, I will admit), I began on my proper utilizing the filter. I received my cellphone settled on my tripod (I’ve discovered testing filters like this works finest when you will have each arms free), opened up my TikTok app, chosen the filter, and started working.

As soon as I clicked in, the very first thing I seen was that the filter laid over my eyes and nostril and had three totally different strains (pink, yellow, and blue) coming from the nook of my eye. In Choi’s tutorial video, she says to begin out by drawing over the pink line from the nook of the attention to the fork the place the road splits, so I adopted her directions precisely. Subsequent, I began drawing a line from the tip of my iris and crammed the world in above my eye, ensuring to attach the 2 strains collectively.

Choi says if you would like a extra dramatic wing, you possibly can prolong it out to one of many three longer strains. I used to be high quality with a easy wing, so I completed up by curling my eyelashes and making use of mascara. I surveyed the whole lot within the mirror and was genuinely shocked to see that there was a stark distinction between my proper eye and left eye. The liner on my left aspect appeared crooked and a bit smudged and did not do a lot for my eye form, whereas the liner on my proper aspect elongated my eye and appeared virtually excellent. Though I had already utilized mascara, I used to be tempted to clean off my left eye make-up utterly and begin once more utilizing the filter — the appropriate aspect appeared that good.

When you’re somebody like me who struggles to get your winged eyeliner proper, give this TikTok filter a strive. It solely takes a couple of minutes to grasp, however it makes all of the distinction.
