Winged eyeliner, also known as the ‘cat-eye’, is a classic makeup look that has been in vogue for decades. It’s a versatile style that can be adapted for a casual day out or a glamorous evening event. However, achieving the perfect wing can be a bit tricky. This article aims to provide a step-by-step guide on how to get a good winged eyeliner.
Before we start, here are the tools you’ll need:
Start by applying a primer on your eyelids. This will create a smooth canvas for your eyeliner and ensure it lasts all day.
Draw a thin line on your upper lash line. Start from the inner corner of your eye and work your way outwards.
At the outer corner of your eye, draw a line at an angle. This will be the wing of your eyeliner. The angle and length of the wing can vary depending on your preference.
Draw a line from the tip of the wing back to your upper lash line. This should create a small triangle.
Fill in the triangle with your eyeliner. Make sure there are no gaps or uneven areas.
Use a concealer to clean up any mistakes or to sharpen the wing.
Q: My wings never match. What can I do? A: It’s okay if your wings aren’t identical. Remember, they’re sisters, not twins! However, if you want them to match as closely as possible, try drawing the outline of both wings before filling them in.
Q: My eyeliner smudges throughout the day. How can I prevent this? A: Using a primer before applying your eyeliner can help. You can also set your eyeliner with a black eyeshadow to make it last longer.
Q: I have hooded eyes. Can I still do a winged eyeliner? A: Absolutely! The key is to draw the wing while your eye is open so you can see how it will look.
Mastering the winged eyeliner look may take some practice, but with patience and the right tools, you’ll be able to create a stunning cat-eye in no time. Remember, makeup is a form of self-expression, so don’t be afraid to experiment and make the look your own!
Happy winging!
