There are many different ways of completing a fabulous winged eyeliner look. Today I will be suppling you with quick and easy ways to successfully achieve your winged eyeliner look.

1. Use a pencil liner as a guide for tricky liquid liners.- If your hand isn't steady enough for liquid eyeliner, line your eyes first with a pencil liner, and then trace over it with liquid.

2.If you have monolids, use a gel or liquid liner and draw a thick arch to create the perfect line.- If your eyelids hide your eyeliner, try drawing an arched line above your lash line a little thicker than you think. When you open your eyes, you'll have perfect-size lines.

3. Use white eyeliner as a brow highlighter for an instant eye lift.- Line below and above your eyebrows with a thick white liner, and smudge it out with a sponge brush to define your brows.

4.Start at the middle of the eye rather than the inner or outer corner, Then trace backward, starting at the inner corner and working your way toward the middle. This helps you to get a better idea of your eye shape and how to outline and define the eye without the panda effect.

5.When doing a cat eye or other winged look, start your wing close to the lower lash line at a diagonal angle following the upward curve of the upper lashline, extending outward, and connect from the top, rather than forming it from the top lash line.

6.Always do the rest of the eye before the wing so that you have a good idea of where it should be placed, rather than forming the rest of the eye around it.

7.Try using a piece of scotch tape as a stencil of sorts to keep both of your hands free. It’s super easy—just tear off an inch-long piece of clear tape, then place it diagonally against your lower lash line extending toward your temple for a clean angled line.

8.If you’re really shaky on application, try first lining the eye in small dots and dashes, then connecting them by tracing over the entire eye.

9.When lining the upper lid, always use one finger from your opposite hand to lift the eye slightly to hold the skin taut.

10. Try applying a light coat of mascara before you begin lining your eyes. A slightly stiffened row of lashes will give the liner brush somewhere to rest, making tracing the lash a breeze.

11.Trace line with concealer- To really make the line pop, its recommanded tracing that outside line with a little bit of sheer concealer. The color you use should be slightly lighter than your actual skin tone.

12. Resting the pen- Gerstein claims the easiest trick in the book when it comes to liquid liner is resting

the pen against your top lashes. Then, you want to pull up slightly on your lid with the other hand to expose the bit of skin closest to the lash line and, working from the outside in, literally letting the pen do the work for you.
