Flawless Winged Eyeliner Guide



Winged eyeliner is a timeless look that can elevate any makeup style. Whether you’re going for a subtle flick or a dramatic wing, here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering this technique.

What You’ll Need:

  • Liquid or gel eyeliner
  • Angled brush (for gel eyeliner)
  • Q-tips or makeup remover for touch-ups

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Prepare Your Eyes: Start with a clean eyelid. Apply a primer to ensure your eyeliner stays put.
  2. Draw the Wing: Begin at the outer corner of your eye. Draw a small line angled towards the end of your eyebrow.
  3. Create the Triangle: From the tip of the wing, draw a line back towards your lash line, creating a triangle shape.
  4. Fill It In: Fill in the triangle with your eyeliner.
  5. Line Your Lash Line: Draw a thin line along your upper lash line, connecting it with the filled-in triangle.
  6. Perfect the Shape: Use a Q-tip dipped in makeup remover to clean up any mistakes and sharpen the edges.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them:

  • Uneven Wings: Ensure both eyes are even by marking the end points of your wings first.
  • Smudging: Use a waterproof eyeliner to prevent smudging throughout the day.
  • Thick Lines: Start with a thin line and build up to your desired thickness.
