Prep eyelids with primer for long-lasting eye makeup
First and foremost, prep your eyelids. This is crucial for a smooth application and long-lasting wear. Start with a clean, dry eyelid. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any oil or makeup residue. Follow this up with an eyeshadow primer.
This will create a smooth canvas, prevent creasing, and help your eyeliner stay put throughout the day. This is like preparing a canvas for an artist, or a ground for a building. An eyeshadow primer is an important part of this first step.
This is the foundation for your gorgeous eye makeup, and it will stay for longer if you use a primer. Don't skip this step if you are aiming for a long lasting eyeliner. It's not just about eyeliner; it's about ensuring your entire eye makeup game is on point. Prep and set, and you're golden.
Choose the right eyeliner type for your desired look and skill level
Now, let's talk about choosing your weapon, or rather, your eyeliner. There are several types of eyeliner available in the market, each offering a unique finish and application style. Gel eyeliners, applied with a fine-tipped brush, are known for their intense pigmentation and long-lasting formula.
They are great for creating bold, dramatic wings. Liquid eyeliners, with their pointed brush or felt-tip applicators, offer precision and control. This makes them ideal for creating sharp, defined lines. Pencil eyeliners are the most forgiving and easiest to use.
Perfect for creating a smoky, smudged wing or for beginners who are still learning the ropes. Experiment with different types to see which one works best for you, and your skill level.
Map out wing shape with eyeshadow, draw guide dot, connect for symmetry
The third step is mapping out your wing. Before diving into the liner application, it’s helpful to mark out the basic shape of your wing with a light-colored eyeshadow or a nude eyeliner pencil. This will act as a guide and ensure both wings are symmetrical.
To find the perfect angle for your wing, follow the natural curve of your lower lash line extending upwards towards the tail of your eyebrow. This will create a flattering, lifting effect. Draw a small dot at the end of where you want your wing to reach.
Then, using your eyeliner pencil, connect the dot to the outer corner of your eye. This creates the outline of your wing. Take a break and check if both the wings are the same.
Connect upper lash line to wing for a seamless, bold look
Next step, line your upper lash line. Now that you have the basic wing shape, it's time to connect it to your upper lash line. Using your eyeliner, start from the inner corner of your eye and draw a thin line, gradually getting thicker as you move towards the outer corner.
Ensure that the line is as close to your lash line as possible, filling in any gaps between your lashes. Once you reach the outer corner, connect the line to the base of your wing. This will create a seamless, continuous line from the inner corner to the tip of your wing.
Make sure there are no visible spaces between the lashes and the eyeliner. This will offer a thick base, and the eyeliner will stand prominently.
Clean up mistakes with swab & concealer for flawless winged eyeliner
Finally, clean up and perfect. Even with the steadiest hand, mistakes can happen. Don't fret! A cotton swab dipped in makeup remover is your best friend for cleaning up any smudges or imperfections. Use the cotton swab to sharpen the edges of your wing or correct any unevenness.
For an extra sharp wing, you can use a flat angled brush dipped in concealer to carve out the wing shape. This will create a clean, defined edge. With a few simple touch-ups, you can achieve a flawless, professional-looking wing. Keep practicing and try different techniques.
You can try to use the tape method to create sharper and symmetric eyeliner. Now, don't delay any further, try these steps and tricks, and step out with gorgeous eyes!
