How to do the Perfect Wing Eyeliner

Wing Eyeliner can make such a difference in your look. I personally like to do it most of the time, but it takes time and practice! throughout the years, the technique gets better and easy, also depending the product you are using. 

I like to wing eye-lined using a liquid and/or gel liner. Eyeliner pencils could be a bit tricky depending how smooth the formula of the pencil is. Not all eyeliners are creamy, it could be too stiff and hard to move around your lid. You can also use the eyeliner pencils as base, once you get the right angle/shape, then finish the look by  tracing it with a liquid/gel liner.

TIP make an eyeliner by warming the tip of a khol liner with a lighter.
Hold the tip of the liner right above the flame for a few seconds, and then test the pencil on the back of your hand before lining your eyes.

Let me demonstrate you on how I like to wing eye-lined 

Demonstration:



  1. Draw a line (A) in an angle to desire length of eyeliner . You can go very simple or dramatic. 

  2. Draw a line (B) from Inner corner of eye to the outer corner.
  3. Connect both A and B creating a triangle(c). 
  4. Paint the empty spaces, and you can even go over Line B to create an angle line of your choice. 
Few other tips: 
you will follow steps 1 through 4, but this time use your thumb in the middle of your lid close to the crease, and gently pull the skin up. this will help for your skin not to crease or move at eyeliner application. Personally, I like to do this to my clients, it give me more control. 

AVOID using tape around your eye area, this part of the face or the skin is very delicate, and easy to damage. by placing a tape and the pulling the tape, you are pulling skin away. if you do, be gentle or apply extra eye cream.
