Trouble with winged eyeliner help?? Sorta new to it. What tool to use?? And how to apply it?? Tape or not tape??

I recommend felt tip over liquid because it's a lot easier to apply. I just follow the natural shape of my eye and wing it out. kind of hard to explain. I personally don't use tape, but lots of people do so if you struggle, you might try it (: there are many tutorials on youtube if you're struggling.

I've been doing winged liner for 3-4 years and here is what I've learned.
first off make sure you are comfortable and your arm is well rested on something steady.
some people start off different inner corner, outer corner, wing but I personally like to start off with the wing going from the lower lash line and pull it up towards the tail of my eyebrow. after that I start going into the inner corner with short thin stokes and it sort of makes a triangle type shape so I fill that part in making sure I can't see any part of my skin.
oh and I make sure I am following my natural eye shape and once I'm done I'll thicken it up to my liking making sure the inner corner is thinner than the rest of my eye.
here are my favorite eyeliners and some tips :
liquid (NYC, almay) - be patient and careful with liquid.
felt tip (smashbox) - make sure you are holding it horizontally.
gel (Tarte clay paint,inglot #77) - if you want a nice sharp wing then make sure you are using a thin precise brush, although you can use a angled also.
pencil (Loreal) - I don't recommend pencils for winged liner since you can't get any sharp wings with it but if you do make sure the pencil is always sharpened.
eyeshadow/ powder (any) - I would only use eyeshadow/ powder if you want smoked out winged liner.
I also LOVE using gel eyeliner. I prefer it over anything else.

You can always just bring the wing out farther or make it thicker!

Awe thank you katelyn and Lexi (:
Misty, I used the tarte tartiest clay paint eyeliner.
I use that one and the inglot gel #77.
Both are great matte black gel liners.

I recommend getting an angled brush to do winged liner, I use mascara instead of eyeliner as I'm a cheapskate haha :) I start with the outer of my eye and do the wing, then fill in from the inner corner and connect with the wing. Make sure that it's thinner in the inner corner and thicker on the wing. I also like to use a stamping motion when I've finished to make sure that my liner is really black :)
