3 Videos On How to Do An Extraordinary Winged Eyeliner

Winged eyeliner is a sexy, cat-eye style look that many people want to learn to create. While it mystifies many people, it’s easier than you might think.

Here’s how to get the style:

What You’ll Need

• Liquid Eyeliner • Eyeliner brush (optional) • Eye Primer (optional) • Eyeliner Stencils (optional)

Winged Eyeliner 101

Apply Your Liquid Eyeliner to Your Upper Lash Line. Draw a thin line as close to your upper lash line as possible. This will provide the “foundation” you work from for the rest of your winged look.

Tilt Your Head Back as You Apply the Liner. This will make application easier. Keep your eyes flat as much as possible. Line from the inner corner of your eye and work towards the outer corner, using the first line you drew as a guide.

Find Your Flare. Hold your eyeliner at the end of your bottom lash line. Point it upward diagonally so looks like a continuation of your lower lash.

Draw a Thin Diagonal Line. Following the line you just visualized with your liner, draw a diagonal line up and out. The length of the wing is up to you (the longer it is, the more dramatic the eye will be).
Never extend it to the brow bone, though, as this will just make you look clownish rather than sexy.

Thicken the Line. Always remember that eyeliner should be its thinnest at the inner corner of your outer eye. Fill it in using short, quick strokes.
