My problem isn't "How to make a perfect winged eyeliner", my problem is "how do I make another winged liner that's exactly the same as the other one"

I think everyone has that problem, we can never make an identical winged liner but with practice we can get close to it. Practice practice practice, you can begin with the spoon trick :)

Tape and a precise finger in the makeup wipes also helps. The main thin is patience!

I can literally say the only thing to do is practice! Trust me, I still end up removing one eye and redoing it to try and get them to look even nearly every time I do a wing.

Just REALLY look at the angle that I you are holding the liner with on the first eye and try to mirror that angle over on the other eye. I draw that bottom line first on BOTH eyes so I know if the angle is right - it is easier to adjust this then once you are done with both eyes and then have to get serious about removing it.
The most important part is to look yourself STRAIGHT on in the mirror and really concentrate on that bottom line on the first eye and the angle/swoop that you have there. Then you can hold up the liner near the other eye and before you draw it, kind of try to match it, then press down. The rest is easy, just connect your lines and fill!!

I am always impressed when I see someone with perfect wings! And @Charlotte, I have super round eyes so I had to try many different styles of wing liner before I found what works. I still don't think it looks as good on me, but whatcha going to do! :(

I hope that helps and doesn't seem confusing! Trying to describe something like that on paper never seems to have enough detail.
