Winged eyeliner can give your eyes a bold and elegant look, but mastering the technique can be a challenge. However, with a bit of practice and the right tools, you can achieve the perfect winged eyeliner application. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you master this classic makeup look.
To start, ensure you have the right products - a good quality eyeliner pencil or gel liner, an angled eyeliner brush, and makeup remover for any mistakes. Begin by applying your usual eye makeup, including eyeshadow and mascara, before moving on to the eyeliner application.
Start by drawing a thin line along your upper lash line, as close to the roots of your lashes as possible. Use small, short strokes to create a smooth line. Next, decide on the angle and length of your wing. Imagine a line extending from the outer corner of your eye towards the end of your eyebrow, then use that as a guide to create a flick upwards towards the outer corner of your eyebrow.
To create the wing, draw a line from the outer corner of your eye towards the end of the wing you created. Connect this line back to your upper lash line to form a triangle shape. Fill in the triangle with your eyeliner to complete the wing.
Once you have perfected the wing on one eye, repeat the process on the other eye, ensuring that both wings are symmetrical. Clean up any mistakes or smudges with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. Finish off the look with a coat of mascara to enhance your lashes and make your winged eyeliner pop.
With a bit of practice and patience, you'll soon be able to effortlessly master the art of winged eyeliner application and rock this classic makeup look for any occasion.
