Makeup at the Oscars was a little more traditional in 2012, but that didn't stop Hollywood's finest from keeping up with the trends. Winged eyeliner is practically everywhere these days, and it took the red carpet by storm for the year's most-anticipated red-carpet event. Every other starlet seemed to be sporting her own version of the look, and the shapes ranged from Jennifer Lopez's chic double-winged style to Zoe Saldana's stretched-out cat-eye and Petra Nemcova's blackout lids. Take a gander at the coolest looks that took wing now.

Cleopatra Liner Makes a Comeback

When most of us think of "Egyptian"-style eyeliner, the first thing that comes to mind is Elizabeth Taylor chewing scenery in 1963 drama-fest Cleopatra.

When most of us think of "Egyptian"-style eyeliner, the first thing that comes to mind is Elizabeth Taylor chewing scenery in 1963 drama-fest Cleopatra. And over the past few months, it's a look that's certainly been inspiring designers and makeup artists. From big brands like Gucci and Jean Paul Gaultier to indie lines like Electric Feathers (shown above), thick, defined eye makeup, which combines the shape of traditional winged liner with the dramatic size of smoky eyes, is de rigueur.

To try the look yourself, use liquid liner to draw on a normal winged shape. Then, fill it in for intensity, and draw the line out further — right out to the end of your eyebrow. On your bottom lash line, instead of waterlining or following the curve of your eye, draw a line below your lashes and pull it straight out. It's not necessary for the top and bottom lines to meet. In fact, the more space in between, the edgier it is. Now all you need is an old tape of "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles.

Look to Try Now: Chanel Iman's Double-Winged Eyeliner Technique

Yesterday at a Victoria's Secret event, model Chanel Iman channeled a '60s vibe with a dramatic winged eyeliner look. But instead of extending the line beyond just the top lashes, a parallel line was also extended beyond the lower lash line for a more striking effect. To try Chanel's technique, start by lining the upper lash line with a black liquid waterproof eyeliner, curving the line out to the side. Next, to avoid the look from skewing harsh, use a slightly lighter color on the lower lash line (like charcoal), elongating it straight out. To brighten, fill in the area between the two lines with a gold shadow or liner. Then, finish by dabbing on just the faintest hint of a purplish-pink shadow under the charcoal liner to add a bit of edginess.
