Winged Eyeliner?

[Cypress Sun]

A few years ago, I visited a friend of mine and met his girlfriend for the first time. She was wearing "winged eyeliner" and I thought it looked ridiculous, but I never said anything to him or her.

 

For those who've never seen it, it looks like someone trying give themselves an Asian or Egyptian look of some kind. 

 

I keep seeing women wearing eyeliner in this fashion and saw a woman on a TV commercial of about age 70 wearing a heavy version of it and thought to myself "That looks hideous". I decided to look it up to see if this was a new trend and whom it was fashioned after. Turns out that it's been around for a while. Audrey Hepburn wore a version of it and so did Elizabeth Taylor, although Taylor was playing Cleopatra.

 

Has it become popular in your area and do you think that it enhances women's appearance?

I don't, but that's maybe just me as I don't like a woman with moderate or heavy makeup.

 

What do you all think?

I have seen many with it but not in USA. Not my favorite look.

[Pat Riot]

If this is what you mean I see it on occasion. I first noticed it on a beautiful Arabic girl in California. I have seen it on a few girls since moving to WV. 
Tastefully done, it looks nice. One girl I saw recently looked like a drag queen. She was beyond dolled up. Her winged eyeliner looked like it was coming in for a landing in some very rough tarmac, if you get my drift. 
 

[Yul Lose]

Yes, I see it more and more and am not a fan. Just looks stoopid.

[One Gun Jimmy]

I've seen this a decent amount.

 

You HAVE to have the right face shape for it.

 

Don't know quite what shape that is but I've seen some that look really good with it and some that looked like they sneezed twice putting on eyeliner.

 

Also has to be flawlessly applied "professional look"

[El Chapo]

Yes.  It looks nice if you are in a place where aggressive makeup is appropriate for the occasion.  It isn't something I'd want to see at work or at the store shopping for groceries.  Perhaps the people you saw it over did it.

I think she looks pretty good!

 

[Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474]

I've seen a few wearing eye make-up like that.

On a pretty younger woman, I think it can look very nice.

On others: Not so much.

[Subdeacon Joe]

I've seen it now and then.  With the right face shape, hair do, and accessories it is stunning and you don't really notice that it's "winged," it just looks right.

[Blackwater 53393]

Right place. Right face. Right time.  Looks great!!

 

It’s just like everything else! You’ve gotta choose your spot and your opportunity.

[Texas Lizard]

To me, if a lady looks good when she rolls over to you in the morning ....She is going to look great all day long....

Added things sometimes can be nice, sometimes not....

West coast KA California....big deal in the 50's and 60's.

For most women, less is more. As far as I'm concerned, if you can tell that it's makeup, it's too much. 

[Gungadin]

Looks good on a woman that would look good anyway....

 

Good makeup is unnoticeable, camouflage.

 

Teets on a bore hog, lipstick on a pig...

 

OT but Scoutmaster used to say 'beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes the whole way to the bone.

Looks like someone went nuts painting a Barbie doll.

[Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933]

Margot Robbie as Barbie.  I would love to go nuts painting her.

 

[Too Tall Bob]

So, Larson - do we expect you to display that at your next match?

She seems to hate men, or at least Barbie does in the movie.

Well, she's been married to the same guy since 2016.

And:

"Robbie moved from Melbourne to Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the early 2010s.^[109] During that period, she became an avid ice hockey fan, supporting the New York Rangers, and playing right wing in an amateur ice hockey league.^[110][111]"

 

^{Hockey fan and player, so can't be all bad .}

When I was a kid (mid 60's) I wore cat-eye liner.  Not so extreme as today.  It was remembered at my recent high school reunion.  Today, can't be bothered & it would totally look stupid.

[watab kid]

ive seen it but never been impressed much with those sporting it , i guess it has its place ...the movies where everything is fake from the get go ? 

[Sawhorse Kid]

Personally, I have always liked the way it looks.

[Dantankerous]

Probably OK at a drag show but for most everyone else, no.

Botox is what really looks stupid to my eye.
Immediately following is the artificial huge butts.

Depends on what SASS class you shoot under
