Makeup Basics; Winged eyeliner

For many of you who are starting out in makeup or just have trouble with winged liner in general I'm going to try to provide you with some tips that'll hopefully make that process of going from getting it all over your eye, face, or nose to getting  it perfectly much easier! Well first off, I know how cliché this is but really, practice does make perfect! You can't get better if you don't keep trying. Trust me, even all the best makeup artists started out where you are right now so no worries. My first tip is well, it technically isn't a tip but instead it's a product! 

 

  nyx the curve liquid eyeliner $15

This eyeliner has a very unique shape as you can see and is made to fit into the contours of your hand. I personally have tried this eyeliner and think it's very good! the shape really does fit quite nicely into my hand and the tip is very precise! This does take some getting used to but what have we got to lose here because once you are used to it liquid liner won't be a problem anymore. The next tip I have for winged or cat-eye liner isn't liquid liner but something you may not be completely familiar with. Gel eyeliner!

Maybelline gel eyeliner $9.99

Gel eyeliner is many professionals' secret weapon for getting a perfect winged liner. It gives an extremely precise line with an eyeliner pencil feeling. It's much more versatile and long-lasting than liquid liner is. Unless specified it should not be used on the waterline and/or tightline! 

Another liquid eyeliner that's really good if you're a little less willing to try the curve or a gel eyeliner is the Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner. This is a felt tip eyeliner with quite a stiff tip which makes for easy and precise application, although it's not as easy as gel if you find that gel doesn't work for you then this could be a great alternative!

I hope that all of your winged liner troubles may be solved and that you enjoyed this blog post! Thank you for watching and talk to you guys soon! :)
