How To : Winged Eyeliner

In my opinion, winged eyeliner looks fab on all eye shapes. I think it can add that bit of glamour that we all lust after. Once practiced, it's a very easy look to achieve.

Step 1 : If you have unsteady hands, rest your elbows on a table. Begin by looking down at the ground at a sharp angle. Gently drag the liquid eyeliner pen along your upper lashline and continue the line past the outer corner of your eye, following the line of your lower lashline upwards. Stop where you feel is appropriate.
Step 2 : Now we gotta create the wing bit. Start at the outer corner of the line you just drew and work back towards your eye. You'll want to bring the wing about two thirds way back along your upper lashline to avoid cutting your eye in half. Metaphorically of course! Fill in the wing with really small, light strokes. This will avoid too many careless mistakes.
Step 3 : As you get nearer to your tear duct, draw a thinner line of eyeliner. You want the effect of the liner to be thin to thick from the inner corner to the outer tip of the wing.
Step 4 : To complete the look, follow the natural shape of your eye with the liner all around the tear duct. If you want a smoky effect, use a kohl pencil on your bottom waterline which also adds definition to your eyes.
Remember! Practice makes perfect so if you mess up on the first try, don't quit. Practice before you wash your makeup off and I bet you'll get the hang of it in no time!
Enjoy your new look!
