How should you Prep? 

The first step before applying any kind of makeup product on your face is to prep it first. Use a liquid or cream-based primer for your eyes to make sure that your eyeliner goes on smoother and stays a long time. This way your eyeliner won’t smudge throughout the day. 

Step-by-Step Guide for Winged Eyeliner 

Step 1

Take the eyeliner you have or if you want a new one and are confused, find below the types of eyeliners available in the market. 

Step 2

Shake your eyeliner well before applying; this will help the formula to smoothen. Start with keeping your eyeliner brush flat to avoid getting messy. 

Step 3

Start in the middle of your eye and keep the brush as close to your lash line as possible. This will help you drag it properly to the outer corners. Whatever you have left on the brush, you should use that to line the inner corners of your eyes. 

Step 4

Now it is wing time – follow your lash line and go upwards from there. If you are afraid you can’t get that perfect winged eyeliner then you can use a cello tape or a card for an angle. Carefully place the card or tape on the corners of your eyes and start applying. 

Step 5

Accentuate your eyes further by applying mascara to your lashes. Mascara will help your eyelashes look fuller and make your eyes look perfect. 

Types of Eyeliner 

There are a variety of eyeliners available in the market and it is your preference to choose whatever you like. Of course, you can’t figure out it at first but you have to buy one so here is a guide that will help you to pick an eyeliner.
