Start With The Basics

The skill required to apply the ultimate wing liner is achieved through a lot of trial and error.  Hence, the best thing to do would be to patiently start with the learning process of using an eyeliner pen. Eyeliner pens are usually far easier to draw with than liquid eyeliners. The already carved out tip of these pens quickens up the learning process of drawing the curves. Once you have successfully mastered the pen, try using both the pen and liquid eyeliners at the same time to get a grip on the latter. You can do this by using the pen to draw the outline and the liquid one to fill it in. Once you’ve aced it, drawing the perfect winged eyeliner should be a piece of cake. 

 

Tutorials! Tutorials! Tutorials! 

The mastery of liner is such that some can simply do it within seconds whereas others keep struggling for days. However, the internet is full of countless tutorials of wing liner hacks. Here are some of our favourites: 

 

1. Use A Scotch Tape: 

From paper to makeup, scotch tape fixes everything. Cut a piece of scotch tape and stick the piece diagonally underneath your bottom lashes. This will give the winged eyeliner an angle you desire depending on how dramatic you want your flick to be. Then trace along the lash line following the edge of the tape for a crips winged tip. Once the eyeliner is dried, remove the scotch tape for a smudge-free, perfect liner. 

 

2. Using An Eyeliner Brush:

If eyeliners are your staple, you must carry an eyeliner brush with you to achieve the perfectly sharp winged liner. The brush is angled for precision making the process easier than you can imagine. For a better application, use a gel eyeliner with this tool. 

 

3. Try The Dot Method: 

Flimsy brushes and unsteady hands have nothing over this method. It basically involves jotting down dots on the upper lash line, close to each other for a basic outline for the wing. You can then connect them in a straight line and colour in the gaps to form an excellent winged flick.  

 

Winged Eyeliner For Different Eye Shapes

The shape of the eye is also a key determinant of the way you should apply your liner and which type suits you the best. Here’s a quick complete eyeliner guide on which of the liner styles you should apply for your eye shape and how to apply a winged eyeliner on them. 

 

1. Winged Eyeliner For Monolid Eyes:

For all the Asian beauties with a non-existent crease, a thin winged look is ideal. Since the eyelid space is minimum, you have to make the most of the winged eyeliner by making the tail of the liner crisp and straight. One can achieve this by either using an eyeliner brush or pen. Liquid eyeliners can easily smudge due to the monolid and thus aren’t usually recommended. 

 

2. Winged Eyeliner For Round Eyes:

If you can see around your iris either on the top or the bottom, you have round eyes. Therefore, using the half and half eyeliner type for this shape looks absolutely stunning. For this look, draw at an outward flick from the outer corner of your eyes and continue the line inwards stopping at the centre of your eyelid where your pupil is looking ahead. Since this style doesn’t cover your whole lid, you are free to explore different colours like bold neons and vibrant pinks without making you look too wild. 

 

3. Winged Eyeliner For Hooded Eyes

With hooded eyes, the crease of your eyelids isn’t visible when your eyes are open. This causes many people with hooded eyes to have some insecurity while applying eye makeup. But worry not because it is super easy to apply eyeliner with hooded eyes. To make sure your winged eyeliner isn’t concealed by the lid, create the outer wingtip where the lid’s hood starts. Then, work your way inwards by applying thin strokes and widening only when required. 

 

4. Winged Eyeliner For Almond Eyes

Oval shaped with narrow corners are almond eyes. For them, it is suggested that you make use of the space that your eyelids provide. One should draw the eyeliner starting from the inner corner all the way across the lash line then flick it out. Since you have a lot of lid space, you can also make your eyeliner as dramatic as you want it to be. Experiment with different shades, types and colours and see what suits you the best!
