Applying winged eyeliner is not as difficult as it seems. I’ve been asked a lot how easy it is to apply it without doing too much. So I decided to look this up for you. Please note that this look works for neither office nor church. You will scandalise people!
There are so many methods of applying winged eyeliner, but today, I’m going to share the way I typically like to apply pen style eyeliners. It’s super quick and easy.
Step 1: Typically, the ideal time to apply eye liner is after your eye shadow and before your mascara. If your eyelids are prone to getting oily, powder your lids and apply an eye shadow base.
Step 2: Examine where you want to start your wing. Use your bottom lash line as a reference. Point the tip going from my bottom lash line extending diagonally outward. You almost want it to look like a continuance of your lower lash line.
Step 3: With the tip of the liner touching the very end of your upper lash line, draw a thin diagonal line (45 degree angle) upward . It should be going in the direction of where your eyebrow ends.
Step 4: Now, with your one eye closed (the eye you’re applying liner to), put your pointer finger (of your left hand if you’re right-handed) on your brow bone and slightly pull your lid upward so your skin is slightly taut. With your other hand, starting from the top of the wing, draw a straight line ending at the middle of your lid. Think of it as there being an invisible ruler from the end of the wing that connects to the middle of your lash line. You want to trace that invisible ruler. (See in photo below.)
Step 5: Now, fill inside the lines as shown in photo below.
Step 6: All that is left is continuing lining your full lash line. It’s up to you if you’d like it to be thick or thin. I like drawing a thin line towards the beginning of my lash line, so it looks like the line is getting thicker towards the end of my eye.
That’s it. You have your winged eye liner on.
