Nadine Mustafa The new beauty bag lifesaver for high-flying Qweens wanting to earn their wings
“If you’re new to the cat eye game, this liner will have you purring in seconds. The ultra-fine tip allows easy, perfect precision plus the long-wear, smudge and waterproof formula will ensure your wings fly beautifully high all day” – Huda Kattan
Nothing makes your eyes purr louder than the perfect, feline flick. Frustratingly it can also be one of the trickiest beauty trends to master, which is why Huda Beauty has come up with the perfect solution for you to wing it – a new game-changing liner, Life Liner Quick ‘N Easy. Specially designed for the most novice, shaky-handed, cat eye rookies as well as all those wing pros, the ultra-fine felt tip combines a super-quick dry formula with ultimate precision allowing you to create effortless feline eyes in just one purrfect flick.
The Inspiration
Huda and her team created a customized applicator with a precise brush tip especially for Life Liner Quick ‘N Easy, designed to achieve the ultimate balance between firmness and flexibility, and allowing for maximum control and ultimate precision when it comes to creating your perfect wing. The new pen is also armed with a revolutionary ‘progressive flow’ delivery system, which allows an even distribution of the quick-dry, highly-pigmented formula to flow smoothly. Now available in Very Vanta Extreme Black, the deepest and darkest black with a modern, matte finish. The secret to Life Liner Quick ‘N Easy is its water-based formula that is water-, smudge- and transfer-proof that keeps your flick fire all day long without the worry of fade throwing shade.
The Liner
As the true G.O.A.T when it comes to sleek black liner, Huda Kattan, the founder of Huda Beauty and one of the world’s most influential beauty entrepreneurs, set herself the goal of securing one Huda Beauty eyeliner in each and every makeup kit. While her O.G Life Liner, a duo-ended pencil and liquid liner launched in 2019, is a cult must-have for high-flying babes who have already perfected the winged eye, Huda had feedback that the pro beauty tool wasn’t the easiest to master if you were coming in new to the wing game. Not wanting to exclude the wing newbies out there, Life Liner Quick ‘N Easy was born, armed with all the unrivaled performance of the original Life Liner, meaning that it’s water-, smudge-, transfer-, flake- and, obvs, pool party-proof, but with an easy-to-use ultra-fine tip. The result? No more smudging or bleeding ink while you apply your liner in one quick flick. Life Liner Quick ‘N Easy ensures that your hot wings stay in place throughout the day without the need for tricky touchups. You’ll be a high-flying pro in no time.
Huda’s How To:
- Start by drawing just the tip of the wing starting from the outer corner of the eye. Follow the natural curve of the bottom lash line as a guide to draw upwards for a lifted, flicked shape. Next, draw along your lash line, starting from your inner corner along the lashline, until you meet the wing you’ve already marked.
- Fill in the rest of your liner using small, fine strokes so you’re left with a smooth, feline cat eye.
Huda’s Hacks:
- Hold your mirror slightly below the eye so that when you’re drawing your liner, your lashes are facing down – trust us, it makes the process a whole lot easier.
- You can even use a sticky note as a stencil to get a clean straight wing! Start by placing the sticky note edge along the lower lash line and angle it so it meets near the tail end of your brow. Use this edge as a guide to create your wing. Wait for the liner to set, then slowly peel away the sticky note and ta da – the perfect wing!
