Step-by-Step Winged Eyeliner Tutorial

A winged eyeliner is a timeless makeup look that enhances the eyes and creates a lifted effect. Whether you prefer a subtle flick or a bold, dramatic wing, this tutorial will help you achieve the perfect shape!

1. Prep the Eyes

Apply eye primer or concealer to create a smooth base.

If needed, set with a light matte eyeshadow or translucent powder.

2. Choose Your Eyeliner

Gel eyeliner (for precision and a matte finish)

Liquid eyeliner (for a sharp, bold look)

Pencil eyeliner (for a softer, smudged effect)

3. Create the Guideline

Look straight into the mirror and identify where you want the wing to extend.

Using a light hand, draw a thin diagonal line from the outer corner of your eye toward the end of your eyebrow.

Adjust the angle based on your eye shape (more upward for hooded eyes, slightly flatter for almond eyes).

4. Draw the Wing Shape

From the tip of the first line, draw a small triangle, connecting it back to the upper lash line.

Keep the inner corner thin and gradually thicken the line as you move outward.

5. Fill in the Wing

Fill in the triangle smoothly, ensuring no gaps.

Keep the lines sharp and clean for a precise look.

6. Perfect & Clean Up

Use a cotton swab with micellar water or a concealer with an angled brush to sharpen the edges.

7. Finish with Mascara or Lashes

Apply mascara or false lashes to complete the look and enhance the wing’s effect.
