Easy step-by-step tutorial for the perfect winged liner!
It's one of the most beautiful and classic makeup looks and one that I get asked about the most: the winged eyeliner!
I hope to make it as easy as possible for you with these instructions - just remember: this is one of the things where practice definitely makes perfect ;)

P.S.: It's easier to try this at first with a GEL eyeliner, because you have more control over it (but liquid or pencil are just as fine too!)

Step 1
1. For beginners it is best to start with a naked eye without eyeshadow (just a primer or foundation) to make it easier to clean up if you make a little mistake!

Draw a line in short strokes along your lashes and make it thinner at first, because you can always make it bigger later if you like!
(My line is a little bit thicker at this point already cause I like it that way) ;)
Step 2
2. This is the tricky part, just take your time! Place the brush at the corner of your eye and try to extend the line of your lower lash line - that's how you get the right angle for the perfect wing.
Step 3
3. The way I like to do this step is by placing the brush at the end of the wing and while looking down in my mirror (important!!) drawing a pretty straight line back to my lashes.
Once you open the eyes, the line appears slightly curved.
Step 4
4. Fill in the gaps, smooth out the top part and now you can make your liner bigger if you like or just leave it the way it is.
Step 5
5. If you made a mistake or the liner turned out thicker than you wanted it to be (this happens to all of us at some point), just take a bit of concealer or foundation on a flat brush and clean it up!
Step 6
6. Add Mascara and maybe some false lashes and you're done!
