If you've tried all the Instagram hacks [1] (including tape, stickers [2], and tweezers) and still can't get your winged liner right, then it might be time to roll the newest Nudestix launch into your makeup bag. The brand responsible for some of my favourite lipsticks ever is gliding into the world of eyeliner with a fun twist.
Its new Rock N' Roller liner comes in three trendy shades (Black Moon, matte black; Bronze Patina, luminous bronze; Golden Rosé, metallic rose gold) and has an even more fun "pizza cutter" applicator tip. Nudestix [3] co-founders and Taylor [4] and Ally Frankel explained in a press release that the inspiration behind the new liners was simple: they love all the eyeliner trends spotted on runways and look of liquid eyeliner, but found the products hard to use. The solution was to create their own — one they could actually master.
So the duo paired a long-wear liquid formula with a fun circular tip and Rock N' Roll liner was born. The new liners from Nudestix are easy to use despite your skill level. Just shake the product to reveal the opaque liquid. The ultra-fine tip also allows you to create precise lines to achieve a variety of looks. You only need one coat of Rock N' Roller to achieve a lush, Instagram-worthy line.
The latest from Nudestix fans can purchase all three of the new liner shades for £20 each at Cult Beauty [5] and at Nudestix.com [6]. They're also waterproof and completely vegan. To showcase just how cool the new liners are, we teamed up with Taylor herself to create three unique ways to rock liquid liner minus all the tape, tweezers, and other complicated hacks.

Graphic Eye Liner Look 1: Start With a Basic Black Cat Eye
One of the easiest ways to give your boring liner some oomph is to get graphic! Taylor's look is inspired by '60s icon Twiggy and is shown through an accented crease.
Step 1: To start, glided Nudestix Rock N' Roller liner in Black Moon (or your favorite black liner) over the lash line to create a sharp wing.
Graphic Eye Liner Look 1: Create a Metallic Crease
Step 2: Once your black liner is on, lightly trace along your crease with your eyeliner to create a soft line. We used Rock N' Roller in Golden Rosé (because rose gold, duh) and particularly loved that the metallic hue was subtle but still stood out.

The finished look! You can create this style with subtle metallics or you can go really bold by using coordinating black colors or vibrant hues of eyeliner.
Graphic Eye Liner Look 2: Stack Your Wings
Sprucing up your eye makeup doesn't have to mean whipping out multiple different eye shadow palettes. In fact, it's as simple as layering your already-existing wing.
Step 1: To create this look start with a classic black cat eye above your lash line. We used Nudestix Rock N' Roller in Black Moon.
Graphic Eye Liner Look 2: Stack Your Wings
Step 2: Glide rose gold eyeliner above your black wing to create a "stacked" effect. You can use any color of your choice for this step.
Graphic Eye Liner Look 3: Draw on The Drama
To switch things up completely, try trading your usual black liquid liner for brown.
Step 1: Draw a thick wing across your lash line. Taylor used Rock N' Roller liner in Brown Patina to create this chunky line.

Step 2: Create the illusion of fuller lashes by tight-lining your lashes. Just glide the circular Rock N' Roller applicator as close to your fringe as possible to create a fine black line.

Step 3: Finish off your look by making your eyes pop. Use a cream, white, or metallic eyeliner hue to outline your lower lash line and inner corners.
