How To: The Perfect Winged Out Eye Look.

Looking to master the perfect winged out eye look for New Years Eve or maybe any day you want to just look stylish? It’s not a trend – it’s the iconic lash shape, according to Billy B. L’Oréal Paris Consulting Makeup Artist. Billy B. shared with me his tips to create this look.

Every beauty icon, past or present, has worn a flared-out look. Think Marilyn Monroe; think Brigitte Bardot. You’re really creating a more extended, bigger, sexier, elongated eye. To achieve this look, it takes only two products and three steps:

1. Apply L’Oréal Paris The Super Slim Liner by Infallible right along the base of the lashes, from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. With the ultra-defined felt tip, you can get the rich black liner all into the lash bed, maximizing the look of the lashes.

2. At the outer corner, while the liner is still damp, take your finger and gently but quickly extend the liner up and out with your finger to achieve the perfect angle and extension.

3. Finish with one coat of Voluminous Butterfly Mascara in Blackest Black.

Mascara Monday: L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara.

I've been a long time fan of L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Mascara line. For big, bold, look at me lashes, it never fails. The brand is launching a new one (out next week), and I am super excited about this one. Meet L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara.

The name butterfly is no coincidence. It is named specifically for the Butterfly Brush™, a breakthrough in brushes, in my opinion. This asymmetrical, ergonomic, wing-tip brush with flexible arches is designed to lift the outer corner lashes for a flared effect. The uniquely-shaped brush features tightly packed bristles that work to "trap" lashes and extend them outward from corner to corner.

The formula is super silky and packed with fibers. Each Voluminous Butterfly Mascara includes 1.2MM fibers, actually, that instantly coats lashes in a soft, delicate veil for longer looking lashes with up to a whopping 6X the volume.

I am loving this mascara. I use the curved side for upper lashes, but prefer the flat side for the lower. One coat is great for everyday, and I definitely notice more definition with this than with any of the other Voluminous Mascaras I have used. I don't necessarily notice any special flaring in the corner, but longer-thicker, better looking lashes, overall for sure. I do notice a lot of lift, and that really opens the eye. It looks especially great when paring it with a deep black liner on the upper water line. This really opens my eyes. If I really want to have a bold look, then I apply two to three coats and am wowed each time.

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara will be available in your favorite drugstore and mass retailer, in October for $8.99. Choose from Black, Blackest Black or Black Brown. I am using Black.

Mascara Monday: L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Excess.

This new L’Oréal Paris mascara is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for the biggest, boldest lashes and can handle a big brush, then this mascara is for you. Introducing L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Excess.

Voluminous Million Lashes Excess Mascara brings together extreme definition plus intense volume in one formula. This mascara features the same Clean Sweep Wiping System as the legendary Million Lashes mascara but this one has a bigger brush. The bigger brush makes it easy to get maximum separation for an a defined look, while the formula plumps lashes to the excess - all in one coat.

In fact, the brush has 50% more bristles than the original. It has both long and short bristles to separate and coat each lash from root to tip. The brush grips lashes to create clean, over-the-top volume without ever flaking, smudging or clumping. Plus, the pure black, high-coverage formula better adheres to lashes, leaving them with up to 7X more volume.

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Excess retails for $8.95 at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer. Choose from Black or Blackest Black.
