This tutorial explains how to do Amy Winehouse eyeliner in a modern way, and how to use each product to recreate the artist’s look.
HOW TO RECREATE AMY WINEHOUSE’S LOOK
STEP ONE: GET A FLUSH
With a classic baby-doll complexion, Amy always had glowing skin and a natural, pink flush. You can get the exact same shade by using Amy’s own favorite Illamasqua product: Cream Blusher in Pixie, a coral pink perfect for a natural glow. Apply to the apples of the cheeks, blending seamlessly into skin and toward the temples for a diffused effect.
STEP TWO: FILL IN BROWS
Amy’s thick, defined eyebrows were another addition to her iconic look. Recreate these renowned brows by using our Eye Brow Cake in limited-edition Camden. Fill in any sparse areas, creating a more defined and bold edge for your brows.
STEP THREE: AMY-INSPIRED EYELINER
Using our Liquid Liner in limited-edition Back to Black, fill in the entire eye lid with eyeliner. This doesn’t need to be tidy. Next, draw a crisp line above the crease, winging it out as you reach the outer-corner of the eye. Connect the eyelid liner to the outer wing, Ensure the lines are clean and crisp for a re-imagined approach to Amy’s classic eyeliner.
STEP FOUR: COAT & APPLY LASHES
Once you’re happy with your exaggerated wing, coat lashes in our Masquara. Once dry, apply the limited-edition Just Friends False Lashes to the outer-corner of your eye for a rockstar-level flutter.
STEP FIVE: PUCKER UP
Another of Amy’s favorite Illamasqua products, her coral pout can be attribute to our Lipstick in Over. While we’ve reimagined the formula in our Sheer Veil Lipstick for a more modern wear, this lipstick gives the exact same shade. Apply straight from the bullet to your lips and press lips together. Then pucker up.
