The Secret to the Perfect Winged Liner (Tutorial)

March 15, 2015 Katie Marie 10 Comments

If you’re like me — a girl who can’t not do some form of a winged liner (or cat eye…whatever you call it) on a daily basis — than you know there are days where you just want to throw your brush or gel pot across the room because you’re fed up with trying to get an even wing.

I’m not the only one, right??

Finally, the secret to creating a flawless, perfect winged liner is revealed! | FromMyVanity.comWell, the day I discovered this trick…the frustration of getting the perfect, even winged liner became a thing of the past! So let’s move right into the tutorial, shall we?!

The Perfect Winged Liner Tutorial

Okay, so you’re going to need either your favorite gel liner pot and fine tip brush OR a liquid liner pen. The ones I recommend are (obvious from the pictures) Maybelline’s Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner and Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush. I love using gel eyeliner for my wings, but if you’re more of a liquid pen girl, I highly recommend LORAC Front of the Line Pro.
The next thing you need to have on hand is Scotch Tape….or any kind of tape will work, really. πŸ™‚ All you need besides these two items o finish off the look would be an eyeshadow palette and mascara! In this tutorial I use the LORAC Pro palette and the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.
If you want reviews of any of the products I’m using today (well, except for the Scotch tape!), let me know in the comments below!
Secret to the Perfect Winged Liner Tutorial | Step 1 | FromMyVanity.comPrime your eyes! This is always super important, no matter what you’re doing with your eyes. You want all your hard work to last all day! Here I am using the LORAC Behind the Scenes Eyeshadow Primer. I highly recommend this stuff — you can read my full review here!
Secret to the Perfect Winged Liner Tutorial | Step 2 | FromMyVanity.comNow is when you apply the scotch tape. Place it onto the back of your hand once or twice before using it on your face, that way it looses some of it’s tackiness and won’t pull on the skin around your eye area too much. And this is how the magic will happen! πŸ˜‰ Make sure you line up the tape following the angle of your lower lash line and coming up toward the tip of your eyebrow.
Secret to the Perfect Winged Liner Tutorial | Step 3 | FromMyVanity.comNow just do your eyes as you normally would. As I already mentioned, I used my LORAC Pro palette to get this eyeshadow look. (That palette is super awesome, isn’t it?!)
Secret to the Perfect Winged Liner Tutorial | Step 4 | FromMyVanity.comNow just take the gel and liner brush and line across your lash line. Keep in mind, you can adjust the thickness of this wing to suit your own personal style — so make it as small or thick as you like!

Secret to the Perfect Winged Liner Tutorial | Step 5 | FromMyVanity.comCreate your wing just like you normally would, except that you don’t have to worry about being precise with the end — the tape will do that for you. So be as messy as you want, the tape catches it all!

FINISHED RESULTS

Secret to the Perfect Winged Liner Tutorial | Finished Results | FromMyVanity.comThere you have it! Finish up with some mascara and a black eye pencil, if you like, and then apply your face makeup and you’re ready to rock! When you blend out your foundation it will also help to smooth the transition of that line, and everything will come together like it’s supposed to.

And just so you can see how dramatic a winged liner you can create using this trick, here’s another look I did using my trusty scotch tape.

Ever since discovering the trick to creating a sharp, perfect winged liner, my life is so much easier! | FromMyVanity.comSee what I mean? I use it all the time, for a variety of winged looks, and it always gives me a flawless, sharp line. Just like I like it! πŸ˜‰

There you go! You’re all set — go create some fabulous wings and share them with me by either tagging me or using my hashtag #LadyKaty92 on any of my social medias!

    I normally don’t use eyeliner (because I’m really bad at keeping it even) but I have always been amazed by those who are able to do it! And I never thought that tape you work for this! So cool!!
