STEP 1:
Create a Line Above Your Crease
Using the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liquid Liner in Red, draw a thick floating liner above your crease and extend it to the outer corner of your brow. At the edge, slightly flick the liner up towards your eyebrow for a lifting effect.

STEP 2:
Draw the Drips
Working from the inner corner outwards, add small, teardrop-shaped blood drips underneath the floating eyeliner, making sure to connect them to the line. Towards the outer corner of your liner, create a larger drip to add dimension. Once you draw all of the drips along the floating line, add one more that appears to be dripping down from the inner corner of your eye.

STEP 3:
Add Definition to Your Eyes
Once the blood liner has dried, give your eyes more definition. Line your waterline with a black eyeliner pencil — our current favorite is the Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner in Café Noir.

Return to the blood liner to add depth and dimension. Using a black liquid eyeliner, like the Urban Decay Perversion Waterproof Fine-Point Eye Pen, draw precise shadows on one side of each liner drip.
