Sure, eyeliner can be a scary tool if you\u2019re not used to it: not only is it killer for your look, but you need to work intricately and you\u2019re waving a utensil right next to your eye!<\/p>

Especially if you\u2019re in a rush, it\u2019s not only difficult, but it\u2019s nerve racking. And we\u2019ve all know this story: you\u2019ve got minutes left till you need to leave the house, you\u2019ve spent 15 minutes blending your eyeshadow to perfection, and all that remains is the eyeliner. Then the anxiety sets in \u2026<\/p>

You start drawing your line, but a few strokes later you realise that while one of your wings is perfection \u2026 the other one is a complete mess. Why exactly people find eyeliner so hard to apply is hard to say, maybe it\u2019s working so close to your eyes: whatever it is, many of us struggle to get those wings even. Whatever it is, with our top tips we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

First of all, take a deep breath, try to relax, and rather than panic just think about how great things will be when you\u2019ve mastered eyeliner! It may take a few tries, but in no time you\u2019ll wonder what on earth you were worried about.<\/p>

You might have already been using an eyeliner stencil, but for the best results, it\u2019s time you learned to go freehand. Most people tend to begin pencil eyeliners, mainly because they\u2019re easy to find and they\u2019re cheap.<\/p>

It might make sense to start with something affordable, but we don\u2019t think they\u2019re necessarily the best choice for beginners. There are a few other alternatives to consider, for those not ready to take the big leap straight to liquid eyeliner.<\/p>

By smudging a dark eyeshadow along your lash line, you can give the illusion of eyeliner without even using any. This is a good start to give you an idea of how you might want your eyeliner to look, and means that at first you don\u2019t need to be waving any pointy objects in front of your eyes.<\/p>

Asd soon as you’ve mastered the eyeshadow trick, it\u2019s time to upgrade to a gel formulation, applied with a thin eyeliner brush. You’re probably already accustomed to using a brush on your eyes, so it shouldn\u2019t be too much of a jump. And once you\u2019re doing this, you gradually move on to more intimidating techniques as your start to feel braver and your hand steadies: and you\u2019ll be ready for liquid before you know it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The winged eyeliner look is the holy grail of eyeliner techniques. You can bet your bottom dollar that when most people say they want to learn how to use eyeliner, what they\u2019re really wanting is to perfect their wings.<\/p>

That\u2019s because it\u2019s not easy: it takes knowledge, skill and practice to perfect. But with our tips and little application on your part, you\u2019ll have it down in no time. We believe in you! So \u2026 let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Prepare the canvas<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Like any artist, making sure your canvas is ready is crucial. In this instance, the canavs is the area around your eyes, so make sure that they are clean and free from any residue. Just a basic makeup remover, applied to a cotton pad, will be fine to softly sweep away any remaining makeup.<\/p>

You need to continue this process out towards the sides of your face so that the area where the wing is applied is ready too. Whether you apply your eyeshadow before or after your eyeliner is up to you. Applying this after means you avoid having to re-do it if you get your eyeliner wrong. But if you\u2019re bold and apply first, you can gauge whether your shadow is making the eyeliner look faded, or is dulling the sharp edges you need for the desired effect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Carefully line your lashes<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Carefully draw a thin line from your inner eye corner to approximately two-thirds of your eye, stopping at the outer third. Keep close to the lash line. When you\u2019re ready to complete the job, this technique allows you space to execute a smooth, even wing.<\/p>

If you\u2019re struggling to line it up, you can even draw dots at small intervals along the lash line, and then connect them with the liner, which should help you to achieve a straight line. Try it out and choose whatever works for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Use Dots To Guide You<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Depending on your eye shape, how dramatic a look you’re going for and how sharp you want your wing to be, place a dot where you want the tip of your wing to be. This will then act as a guide for the rest of the process, so be sure to give this some careful thought and try to imagine your final look.<\/p>

A thin-tipped brush or eyeliner pen can be used. Just place a tiny dot at your desired height and angle, and of course aim to make both equal so that your final wings are as symmetrical as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Complete The Shape Of The Wing<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

OK, it\u2019s time to start winging. Draw a line from the dot directly to the outer corner of your eyo. You want this to be sharp and neat: this will be the bottom of your wing. Don’t freak out if you don’t get it right the first time, just use a Q-tip with makeup remover if you need to clean it up a bit.<\/p>

Any kind of kind of eyeliner is fine for this step, so whether you’re a beginner with a brush or an expert with liquid, you should hopefully have no issues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Believe it or not, we\u2019re almost there! Now you just need to apply the finishing touches and create the wings themselves. So long as you followed our tips above to the T, you should be ready to execute wings strong enough to take flight!<\/p>

To achieve a perfectly clean line we’d recommend starting out with a closed eye. Draw a more angled, sweeping line, and then connect it up to where you’ve finished in the outer third of your eye, again taking your eyeliner from the dot.<\/p>

Once this is executed and you\u2019re happy with the shape, all that remains is to colour in the space. Try to use small strokes, and draw them all in the same direction. And that\u2019s it! Congrats, you just drew yourself your first (perfect) set of wings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Everyone\u2019s face shape is different, and so there is no one way that will work with every eye and face shape. The basics above still apply, but depending on your look, you will need to adapt, and practice to perfect your wings. Fear not though, because there isn\u2019t a face shape known to mankind that wings can\u2019t work on: it\u2019s just about finding the most appropriate style for you and then perfecting it!<\/p>

• Close -set eyes: A white or nude eyeliner on your inner corner will open them up and make them appear wider apart.<\/li>
• Wide-set eyes: By creating a smaller, upturned wing, you can create the illusion of closer set eyes.<\/li>
• Hooded eyes: By creating a thicker outer third, you can draw the wing with your eyes open to see where it lines up visibly.<\/li>
• Monolid eyes: You should draw your wing with your eye open (despite our advice above, sorry!), so that you can see where to end the line.<\/li>
• Round eyes: If you have round eyes, you can give your eye some depth and shape by creating a more defined triangle wing.<\/li>
• Almond eyes: You guys make me jealous – you can pull off any wing look!<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

  What Is Tight-lining With Eyeliner?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  \n\t\t\t\t

  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

  Ok, if you’re squeamish, look away now! Tightlining is undoubtedly the most cringe inducing of eyeliner techniques, and for those who don\u2019t enjoy working near their eyeballs, frankly, a terrifying prospect. It is the practice of applying eyeliner underneath your lashes, on the exposed area of skin between lash and eyeball. If you’ve ever heard the word “waterline”, this is it.<\/p>

  Use a pencil eyeliner, and carefully and safely, slightly melt the tip of the pencil using a lighter before applying. This makes for a smoother application, and means your less likely to scratch or damage your eye if you make a mistake. Bonus!<\/p>

  Tight-lining<\/a> makes your lashes look fuller. If you use a light or white colour, you can make your eyes look larger and more awake: especially effective for smaller eyes and hooded eyes (or if you were out on the town last night and need to hide it!).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  What Are Eyeliner Tattoos?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  Eyeliner tattoos are the most hardcore eyeliner solution by far. It’s definitely not as popular as its lash and brow counterparts, but it’s still a possibility if you’re really not keen to experiment. However, in our opinion, a permanent solution seems like a shame, and if you ever want to change your style you will be stuck with a hefty bill to remove them.<\/p>

  If you’re the type of person who likes experimenting with different shapes and colours, eyeliner tattoos are not for you. Also, you need to be very careful that you find a reputable cosmetic tattoo artist who really knows their stuff, as unlike with our techniques above, one mistake here and it\u2019s game over.<\/p>

  Also not for those who frighten easily, as having a tattoo gun applied right next to your eye will be nerve racking to say the least.<\/p>
