Introduction.
Winged eyeliner is a classic that's been around for years, and it still looks amazing. It's easy to get the basics down, but there are some tips and tricks that can make winged eyeliner look even better. Let me show you how:
Get Your Hands On a Good Liquid Eyeliner.
It's a good idea to invest in a quality liquid eyeliner. This can be tricky, because there are so many options available on the market today. You want to make sure you're getting a product that has good quality and won't fade or smear during the day.
If you're new to using an eyeliner pencil, we recommend starting with one that has small tips—this will make it easier for beginners like yourself! Also look for one that is easy-to-apply (no smudging required!) and easy-to-remove (it comes off easily). Finally, choose one with body meaning it won't flake when blended properly with other products such as eyeshadow or mascara!
Do a Practice Run Without The Eyeliner.
Before you try it on your eyes, practice without the eyeliner. If you have a friend or family member who can help, ask them to hold up their hand while they're looking in the mirror. Use this as a learning tool and see how long it takes for your own hands to do the same thing! You can even try doing this with a mirror instead of an actual person if that's more convenient for you (or if there are no friends available).
In addition to practicing on paper and in front of mirrors, there are plenty of other ways to get comfortable with using winged eyeliner before actually applying it: try practicing by drawing lines around objects like pens or toothbrushes; practice drawing thick lines over small areas (like on one side only); draw thin lines randomly along certain parts so that they look like wings coming off from one eye; even try drawing different kinds of wings—like butterfly-shaped ones!
Prepare Your Eyelid for The Eyeliner.
- Apply a makeup remover to your eyelid and wipe it away with a cotton swab, then rinse with gentle cleanser.
- Use toner to remove any residue left behind on the skin after applying eyeliner (if you need any more help with this step, check out our article on how to use toner).
Use as Few Strokes as Possible To Apply The Eyeliner.
You can use as few strokes as possible to apply the eyeliner, but it's important not to skimp on the product. If you're using a brush, try one that is thin and firm; if you're using your finger or a q-tip, then make sure it's clean and dry before applying any makeup.
It may seem counterintuitive at first, but having a steady hand will help ensure that all of your lines are straight and even throughout the day!
Go Slow and Take Your Time.
When you’re learning how to apply eyeliner, it can be tempting to rush. But if you want a perfect winged liner, then taking your time is key. Don’t worry about making mistakes—they are part of the process! If you mess up while trying out different looks or techniques with winged eyeliner, don't be afraid of going back and redoing them. It's okay if it takes several tries before getting it right; just keep practicing until you feel comfortable doing so!
If this sounds like too much work for one night (or even just one day), don't worry! You can always come back tomorrow when things aren't so stressful at home or school—just make sure that whatever time frame works best for everyone involved in creating this look will be included in the schedule ahead of time so no one ends up missing out on an important date due purely because someone forgot about their plans beforehand due purely because...well...you get my point).
Take Your Time When Erasing Mistakes.
If you're not sure about how to apply a winged eyeliner, or if it's still not quite right, try using a cotton swab to remove the product. It will help you see any mistakes and then adjust them before applying more liner. You can also use makeup remover after removing your makeup to completely wipe away any traces of eyeliner that might have been applied incorrectly. If this doesn't work for some reason, ask someone else—your mom might know!
If all else fails (and we mean everything), go see an expert at a makeup counter. They'll be able to help guide you through the process and make sure they're doing everything right while teaching new tricks along the way!
If You Mess Up, Start Over.
If you make a mistake, start over. This can be easier said than done, but it’s also the best way to avoid having to redo your whole look.
If you mess up and miss the winged liner completely or get it in the wrong place, try again! You can always do another coat of eyeliner on top of the first one and hope for better results next time around.
You might feel like giving up at this point—but don't! Keep trying until you finally get it right!
