Tips And Precautions To Be Followed While Applying Winged Eyeliner Be careful with the choice of your eyeliner type. Eyeliners mainly come in three avatars—liquid, gel and pencil. While liquid and gel liners give a more bold and striking finish, it can be a little messy to work with, especially for beginners. On the other hand, pencils give a softer and subtler finish, it gives you a great control and is thus recommended for beginners. Winged eyeliner and cat-eyes looks super hot on almost everyone and can be worn for any occasion or even on a daily basis. You can, however, play with the length and sharpness of the wings depending on the level of drama you are going for. Also, find out the placement and shape of the wings that complement the shape of your eye, and adjust it accordingly. If you are a beginner, it’s but natural to mess up eyeliners even with all the guidance. Don’t worry if you make a mistake. Dip a cotton swab in petroleum jelly and gently erase the smudge with it. You can also use a clear lipgloss for a quick fix. To have an even better control over liquid eyeliners, toss it in a refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. This will harden the applicator to make it easier to control.

The “lob” or the long bob has been all the rage in recent years, and we can see why! This variation on the classic hairstyle looks good on everyone, no matter age or face shape, and gives you a bit more versatility than a short bob. While a sleek lob does look nice, older women might find it better to keep it softer, with a little more waviness.
9. The Side Part
One of the best ways to style your hair, no matter what type of cut you have is to part it to the side instead of in the middle. A center part, especially when it comes to straight hair, can look too formal and rigid. The side part gives a bit of youthfulness and allows the hair to move better.
11. The Shag

This hairstyle is the one that tells people that you woke up like this and you look fabulous. It says that your hair is naturally beautiful and healthy, so you didn’t have to do much with it.
