does anybody know how can i wing out my eyeliner I'm not good with lining my yes but i want to learn i know it takes practice but are there tips or tricks that i can use

the most useful tip I can give people is to pretend as if your lower lash line continues upward. So from the outer corner of your eye follow your lower lash line and just make a little mark, this will be your wing. Now you can line your eye like normal, then connect the tip of the wing back down to the rest of the line

I agree with Courtney.. I do that, too. I also make sure I have a cotton bud and eye make up remover nearby in case I mess it up.

Also, I heard some put scotch tape at the edge of their upperlids. After applying liner, they'll just peel away the tape and reveal perfect winged out liner.

Yea, I use the scotch tape method. I usually line my lash line with a pencil eyeliner, preferably one that comes off easy just in case I make a mistake and then once I have the desired wing/thick or thiness, I will just trace over it with liquid eyeliner.

I find it easier to make winged liner with the eyes open, also myself finds it easy to do small stronkes, and starting in the middle of the lid and work your way out, that means the thinner u make your liner in the middle the easier is to make it thicker as you go.
its gonna sound weird, but if you open a lil ur mouth you don't tend to wink as much as if you do ur liner with ur mouth close and believe me, my eyes are a bit crazy when doing liner |-_-|

Interesting tip Antonio! I'm going to have to try to get my husband to do the open mouth trick next time I apply liner him. He's the worst for flinching and blinking.

The way I do it is I do the basic line I want then I look straight forward, make a line coming from the end of my top lash line towards the end of my eye brow and take it up slightly (you want to be light handed when doing this so the line doesn't get thick) then i connect the tip of the line to the rest of my liner and keep adding liner till it's as thick as I'd like. I hope this helped somewhat!

I use an angled brush with gel liner, and instead of drawing one line, I sort of do a dotted line with the brush, connecting the line each time. That way, I have a lot of control over where the line is going. Hope that helps.
