How to Make Your Winged Eyeliner Even on Both Eyes

Winged eyeliner is a classic and timeless makeup look that can elevate any makeup look. Whether you're going for a dramatic cat eye or a subtle flick, winged eyeliner can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your makeup.

However, getting it right on both eyes can be a challenge, especially for those who are just starting out. Uneven-winged eyeliner can be frustrating and can ruin an otherwise perfect makeup look.

In this article, we will guide you on how to make your winged eyeliner even on both eyes.

Before we delve into the steps, let's first discuss the tools you will need. You will need an eyeliner of your choice, preferably a liquid or gel formula for precision.

You will also need an angled eyeliner brush if you are using a gel formula. Additionally, having a makeup remover and cotton swabs on hand can help clean up any mistakes.

Start with a clean, dry eyelid

Before applying your eyeliner, make sure your eyelid is clean and dry. Any oil or residue on your eyelid can cause your eyeliner to smudge or not adhere properly. You can use a clean cotton pad or a makeup remover wipe to ensure your eyelid is clean and dry.

Draw a guideline

Using light-colored eyeliner or eyeshadow, draw a guideline for your wing. Place the tip of the eyeliner at the outer corner of your eye and draw a line upwards towards the end of your eyebrow. This will act as a guide for your winged eyeliner and will ensure that both eyes are even.

Start with the wing

Starting with the wing can help ensure that both eyes are even. Begin by drawing a small triangle at the outer corner of your eye. The length and angle of the triangle can be adjusted based on your personal preference. Make sure the triangle is symmetrical on both eyes.

Connect the wing to the eyelid

Next, connect the wing to the eyelid by drawing a line from the tip of the wing toward the center of your eyelid. Make sure the line is smooth and even on both eyes.

Fill in the eyeliner

Using short, light strokes, fill in the eyeliner starting from the inner corner of your eye and working towards the outer corner. Make sure the thickness of the eyeliner is even on both eyes.

Clean up any mistakes

If you make any mistakes or if the eyeliner is not even, use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up any smudges or uneven lines. You can also use a small angled brush dipped in makeup remover to clean up any mistakes.

Finish with mascara

Finish your look with mascara to enhance your lashes and complete your winged eyeliner look.

Tips for Even Winged Eyeliner

• Take your time and don't rush. Winged eyeliner requires patience and precision.

• Use a mirror and check both eyes regularly to ensure they are even.

• Practice makes perfect. Don't be discouraged if your first attempts are not perfect.

• Experiment with different angles and lengths of the wing to find what works best for you.

To make your winged eyeliner even more flawless, try these additional tips:

Use tape or a business card to create a sharp line

If you're struggling to create a sharp and defined wing, you can use tape or a business card to help guide your eyeliner. Simply place the tape or card at an angle from the outer corner of your eye towards the end of your eyebrow, and use it as a guide for your eyeliner.

Practice with different eyeliner formulas and applicators

Different formulas and applicators can create different effects and make it easier or harder to achieve an even wing. Experiment with different formulas, such as a pen or felt-tip eyeliner, and different applicators, such as a brush or a felt-tip, to find what works best for you.

Take care of your eyeliner brush

If you're using gel eyeliner, it's important to take care of your brush to ensure it stays in good condition. Clean your brush regularly with a gentle cleanser or brush cleaner, and make sure to let it dry completely before using it again.

Use a setting spray to keep your eyeliner in place

To prevent your eyeliner from smudging or fading throughout the day, use a setting spray to keep it in place. Simply spritz a setting spray over your entire face, making sure to close your eyes, and let it dry before opening your eyes again.

In conclusion, making your winged eyeliner even on both eyes requires practice, patience, and precision.

By following these steps and tips, you can achieve a perfect winged eyeliner look every time.

Remember to start with a clean, dry eyelid, draw a guideline, start with the wing, connect the wing to the eyelid, fill in the eyeliner, clean up any mistakes, and finish with mascara.
