Why Winged Eyeliner is My Go-To Look
Hey all, it’s me, your friendly neighborhood makeup enthusiast! I’m here to talk to you about one of my favorite looks – winged eyeliner. Not only does it help make my eyes stand out, but it also gives me a sense of confidence and fierceness that I love.
If you’re not familiar with winged eyeliner, it’s when you extend the line of your eyeliner to create a winged shape at the outer corner of your eye. It may seem intimidating at first, but with some practice, anyone can master this classic look.
In this post, I’ll share with you my tips and tricks for achieving the perfect winged eyeliner. So, let’s get started!
Preparation: Gather Your Tools, Choose Your Shade
Before attempting to create perfect winged eyeliner, it’s important to gather the necessary tools and choose the appropriate shade. For tools, you’ll need an eyeliner pencil or liquid liner, an angled brush, and eye makeup remover for any mistakes. When choosing your shade, consider your skin tone and the occasion. A classic black is always a safe choice, but brown or colored liners can add a unique touch.
It’s also helpful to prep your eyes by applying primer or eyeshadow before applying eyeliner. This can increase the longevity of your eyeliner and help it glide on smoothly.
Applying the Eyeliner
Alright, now it’s time for the fun part – applying the eyeliner! First things first, make sure you have a steady hand and take your time with this step. I like to start by applying the eyeliner from the inner corner of my eye and following the upper lash line towards the outer corner. It’s important to keep the line as close to the lashes as possible for a natural look.
Once you reach the outer corner, it’s time to create the winged shape. To do this, I like to draw a line starting from where the lower lash line ends and extending upwards towards the end of my eyebrow. This serves as the guide for the wing shape. Then, I connect the end of the line with the upper lash line and fill in the shape.
Now, you may be wondering – how do I make sure both wings look symmetrical? One trick is to use a piece of scotch tape as a guideline. Simply place the tape at an angle towards the end of your eyebrow and then use it as a guide for creating the wing shape.
After you’ve filled in the wing shape, it’s time to go over the eyeliner with some concealer to clean up any mistakes and make the line look crisp and sharp. And voila, you’re done!
Remember, practice makes perfect when it comes to applying winged eyeliner. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get it just right. And if you’re feeling bold, check out this article on wearing winged eyeliner to a job interview for some inspiration!

Finishing Touches: Perfecting the Winged Eyeliner Look
Now that you have successfully achieved your winged eyeliner look, it’s time for some finishing touches to take it to the next level. Here are a few tips that will help you perfect your winged eyeliner:
Fill In Wing Shape
If you want your wing to look bolder and more dramatic, fill it in with your eyeliner. Start from the tip of your wing and draw a line to the lash line, connecting the wing and eyeliner. This will make your wing look sharper and more defined.
Go Over with Concealer
If you’ve made any mistakes, don’t worry! Use a small brush or a cotton swab dipped in some concealer to cover it up. This will not only clean up your look but will also make your eyes look brighter and more awake. Remember to blend in the concealer well to avoid any harsh lines.
With these finishing touches, your winged eyeliner look is complete. Now go ahead and show off your stunning eyes!
Nailing the Winged Look
So there you have it, those are the steps I follow to get the perfect winged eyeliner. It’s not always easy, but with practice and patience, it can be done.
One final tip I have for you is to make sure you’re using the right tools. I personally love using a felt-tip eyeliner pen, but there are different types of eyeliner brushes and formulas out there. Experimenting with different tools can help you find what works best for you.
Remember, practice makes perfect. Don’t get discouraged if your first few attempts at winged eyeliner don’t turn out how you hoped. Keep at it, and before you know it, you’ll be a pro.
