We all know the struggles of winged eyeliner.

 

You watch the pros paint their beautiful strokes with ease; you practice for hours in front of the mirror with a q-tip and a bottle of makeup remover at the ready... But still, something goes wrong.

 

Every. Single. Time.

Once you reach the outside edges of your eye, you then place your final dots to mark the place for the pointed tip of the winged liner. Try to keep it in line with your eyebrow so that the shapes compliment each other.

Now, connect the dots! You now form the hollow outline for your eyeliner. When you reach the second-to-last dot, form the little crook that will make the beginning of the winged part. Then connect the final two dots with a simple straight line as pictured.

 

STEP FOUR:
