A Guide To Achieving The Perfect Winged Eyeliner

Winged eyeliner – where do we start?

Getting to grips with this intricate makeup technique can be a bit hit-and-miss, if done wrong it can mess up your perfect base or worse yet, leave you with the infamous panda eyes.

However, if done correctly it can extenuate your natural eye and make your makeup look so much more professional and sexier. Nobody ever said that winged liner is easy, if it was everyone would be doing it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn – or perfect your somewhat questionable technique.

So, whether you have hooded, almond, round, or small eyes here are some of the most easy-to-follow tutorials to achieve the ultimate flick for your next big makeup day. But before we talk about the how, we must first cover the what – what you need to accomplish the most precise, and angular flick.

There are few types of eyeliner: kohl, pencil, gel, and liquid. When it comes to winged liner, although it may seem scary, liquid is your new best friend.

Here are some of the most popular liquid liners on the market.

Rimmel Wonder Ink Liquid Eye Liner – €9.45

KASH Beauty Duoflex Liquid Liner – €21.95

Charlotte Tilbury The Feline Flick – €30

Sculpted By Aimee Easyglide Precision – €21

Maybelline Tattoo Studio – €10.68

Benefit They’re Real Xtreme Precision Liner – €20.80

VIEVE Power Ink – €24

Now that you have your liquid liner in hand it’s time to get comfy, get some good lighting, ease that shaky hand, and get started.

1. Firstly, make sure that your elbow is rested on a table to keep it steady to avoid any shaky lines.

2. If you are slightly apprehensive about your eye lining abilities, it might be best to do your eyeliner before your base. In this case, you can easily wipe away any mistakes with makeup remover or cover with concealer.

3. Watch and re-watch the tutorials. If TikTok is good at anything it is teaching us new hacks and skills, as you can imagine when you search for winged eye liner tutorials the results are endless.

Here are a couple of simple videos to help you, beginners, out there master the fine art of eyeliner.

Good luck!
