The Perfect Winged Eyeliner

Ladies, lets be real. Drawing the perfect winged eyeliner has got to be one of the most difficult things to accomplish, right behind climbing Mount Everest. Trying to make the perfect wing, making sure the line isn't too think or too skinny, then making sure you don't slip up, and the hardest part of all? Trying to make the other eye look exactly the same as the other one. Lucky for you readers, I do have some tricks up my sleeve that can help you create the perfect winged eyeliner almost 100% of the time.

Let's first talk how to put on eyeliner. The first step is to draw the wing first. Yes, that seems weird, you probably learned to first start in the inner corner of your eye, but that only makes it harder for you. Drawing the wing can be the hardest part, you could either make it curve too much or go completely straight. Here's my trick, continue following your bottom eye outline. So if you were going to continue drawing a line that goes in the same direction your bottom liner would go, that's where you want your wing to look like. Once you have drawn the line of your wing, you can go back to the inner corner of your winer and draw a thin or thick line to your wing. I promise drawing your wing first saves you the hassle of messing up your winged eyeliner over and over again. And since both your eye shapes are the same, drawing the other eye's wing will guarantee that it looks the same as your other eye since you will be outlining your bottom eye shape. Of course, this is only how to draw a simple, plain, winged eyeliner look. There are many different winged eyeliner looks you can experiment with!

Now let's talk about what kind of eyeliner to use. For winged eyeliner, I would always use a liquid eyeliner. Pencil eyeliners can create a sloppy, smudgy look that doesn't look as clean cut as liquid. But DO NOT I repeat, DO NOT buy the liquid liners that give you a brush and takes like 30 years to dry. Buy liquid eyeliner pens because they can dry easily and are so much easy to work with. One of my favorite liquid eyeliner pens is the Lorac Front of the Line Pro liquid eyeliner. This eyeliner looks like a mini pen and you an easily draw winged eyeliner without any hassle! If you want a cheaper version, I would recommend the L'Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner, this eyeliner works exactly like the Lorac eyeliner, but has a bit of a bigger brush head, which makes a thicker wing.

Don't ever fear drawing winged eyeliner again, I promise these solutions will make winged eyeliner seem like a piece of cake! Have fun experimenting!
