How To: Winged Eyeliner

August 26th, 2010

The first time I applied liquid eyeliner, it looked like I had been in some sort of brawl. My cheeks were smeared black, my eyes were flooded with inky fluid and my eyelashes were fused together in one giant clump. It was not pretty. With just a bit of practice though, I now can get a romantic, winged eye in a few simple steps:

Products:
Eyelash Curler: Shiseido
Mascara: Maybelline
Eyeliner: Loreal
Lipstick: M.A.C. (Snob)

Fool proof!!! I tried it once and behold – a perfect line! My eye liner will be MUCH more used due to this post! Thank you:)

Thanks for this! I am so bad with liquid liner, so I use gel eyeliner instead. I can never manage to make both sides the same length!

interesting tip about the dots, but what I’m really blown away by is the fact that you curl your lashes and put mascara on before you draw the line! Don’t the curly lashes get in your way?! I always have to curl last…

Saved to my bookmarks! My problem though is that I don’t know where to stop the line! ;/

Another helpful tip…put your mirror flat on a table and look down to do eye make-up. I did this for years and found it much easier than looking ahead. [And saved my pennies and now have permanent eyeliner tattoo -- and LOVE it]

I saw this post last night and went to bed excited to give it a try today. Like many others, would like to know the name of the nail polish you are wearing in these pics.

The dots are completely unnecessary. If you are worried about the liner smearing to the underside of the lashes, it’s much easier and less time consuming to use a black crayon eyeliner on the inner rim of the eyelid. Also, I agree with Nomadic D–mascara and curling makes much more sense to do last.
