Choose wisely: gel, pen, or liquid eyeliner for flawless looks
The first step towards eyeliner mastery is selecting the right weapon – or rather, the right eyeliner. The market is flooded with options, each with its own unique application style and finish.
Gel eyeliners, applied with a fine-tipped brush, are a popular choice for their intense pigment and long-lasting wear; they offer a defined line and are suitable for creating dramatic wings .
Pen eyeliners, with their felt-tip applicator, provide more control and are ideal for beginners still finding their way. Liquid eyeliners comes with a brush, delivering a bold, precise line with a glossy finish. Consider your skill level and desired look before making your selection.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types to discover your personal favourite. No matter which you choose, ensure is waterproof and smudge-proof, particularly if you live in a humid climate.
The wrong choice can lead to eyeliner slipping, creating not a statement but a smear across your eye, which no one wants, right?
Prepare eyelids with primer before applying eyeliner for a flawless look
Once you have your perfect eyeliner in hand, prepare your eyelid with primer. This will create a smooth canvas, preventing the eyeliner from feathering or transferring throughout the day. A simple trick is to apply a matte eyeshadow that matches your skin tone to further set the primer in place.
Next, practice makes perfect. Before attempting a full-fledged wing, start by drawing dots in line just to get a flow on how long it must be. Connect the dots to make small lines, by practicing this way, your hands wont be shaky and you get a hang of the perfect length needed.
If you're struggling with drawing a straight line, use a piece of tape as a guide. Apply the tape diagonally from the outer corner of your eye towards the end of your eyebrow. Remember to work in thin layers. Its better to start with a very thin line and then build it up for an ideal size.
Winged eyeliner tips for different eye looks
Now for the wing! Whether you like a subtle flick or a dramatic sweep, the angle of your wing can change the entire look of your eyes. If you're going for a more natural appearance, extend the wing outwards, following the natural curve of your lower lash line.
For a bolder statement, angle the wing upwards towards the tail of your eyebrow, creating a lifted and elongated eye shape. A tip that you can follow is that after creating a line, connect the wing to your upper lash line to give a triangle shape.
This will act like a guide to fill in, in a bold way. Once you have achieved your desired boldness, take a cotton swab dipped with make up remover to make a very fine edge. This shows commitment, but trust me your look is worth every try.
Remember that the angles and definition can only be improved with practise.
Symmetry is essential for winged eyeliner perfection
Symmetry is key for creating an elegant winged look. Now, it's time to repeat the process on the other eye, striving for that mirrored perfection. This is where the mirror comes in handy or any glass surface.
Working quickly makes it easier for you to draw the same lines with the tools that you have. With a steady hand, draw the winged lines, but if during this process, some gets messed up, apply makeup remover with a cotton swab, and start all over again. Keep calm, and trust the process.
Winged eyeliner: versatile look with various styles for all occasions
The winged eyeliner is a versatile look that can be customized to complement any eye shape and style. Experiment with different wing lengths, thicknesses, and angles to find what works best for you.
