I am really excited to share with you all this tutorial on getting the perfect winged eyeliner!!!
I’ve been asked a lot of times questions on getting the perfect winged line & this tutorial will talk you through all the tools you need to achieve a perfectly lined eye (without too much tricky business)!!!
Before practising on my eyes ( a lot of practising) ๐ I really couldn’t get both eyes looking symmetrical! But honestly practice makes perfect! I really cannot stress that point enough!
All the tools you need really is a good set of eyeliner brushes – varying from angled ones, to fine pointed ones and a really good gel liner & one trusty liquid liner pen!
|| Gel Liner ||
To outline your eyes you need to invest in a really good gel liner. I would say for beginners drawing on a line with a gel liner ( with an eyeliner brush ) is a really great step to draw strokes ready for you to go over with a liquid eyeliner!
I use my trusty MAC – ย Fluidlineย Gel Liner in BlackTrack for this and use various brushes to achieve my cat eye!
My favourite and most easy brushes to use and draw are the MAC – 209 eyeliner brush & Real Techniques – fine eyeliner Brush
I use either of these two brushes to create a really crisp stroke and draw on the tip of the cat eye ( perfect for a precise stroke) !!!
Above I’m using my MAC – 209 eyeliner brush to apply my MAC – BlackTrack Gel liner!
Above I’m using my Real Techniques –ย Fine Eyeliner brush to apply my Gel Liner!
& if you are trying to achieve a more angled wing I’d use an angled brush. I love the eyebrow brush from Real Techniques & use it sometimes to create more dramatic looks!
Above I’m using the eyebrow brush from Real Techniques & below is the final eye result using that brush!
|| Liquid Eyeliner ||
For liquid eyeliner, it took me many months of practise to perfect the art of applying this bad boy! However, from adding gel liner on the bottom I realised that this makes applying liquid liner on top to define the lines is the easiest and most dramatic finish for your eye makeup!
I’ve trialled so many liquid eyeliners in the past and found that my two favourite and most easiest liquid eyeliners are theย Lancรดme – Artliner liquid eyeliner ย & the MAC – Penultimate liquid liner.
I’m going to talk about the Lancรดmeย Artliner in Waterproof and Non Waterproof ones first in this tutorial.
Of the two I prefer I the non waterproof one as it is very pigmented and lasts longer than the waterproof one, and thought I’d mention this as you might think that waterproof one will last longer but instead it’s the other way round!
Theย Lancรดme – (Non Waterproof) Liquid Linerย has a detachable brush / separate to the pot of liquid liner! I love this type of liquid liner as it makes the brush lighter to hold instead of carrying all the product and makes it easier for you to not waste product ( from it bleeding out the end )!!! Nothing is worse than clumpy liquid liner on the eye & you have to start from the beginning!
The tip of theย Lancรดmeย brush is also fine and easy for you to apply over the gel liner and even alone if you are comfortable with drawing on eyeliner without a guideline base!
I’ve swatched them a bit lower with the MAC one for you to see!
& my other favourite is the MAC – Penultimate liquid liner. The fine tip of the liner pen enables a smooth and highly pigmented stroke & is easy to glide across your eye. This liner has also safely stayed with me for months without running out of product & doesn’t dry up quickly (like most liquid liner pens do)!!!
Here are the swatches for all the liquid liners I’ve mentioned above!

You are so on time with this post, Serene! ๐ I was just debating which brush and gel liner should I get. I think you just helped me to decide. Thanks!!! ๐ <3

Awwww I’m so glad ๐ Which brush do you think you’ll be trying? I really hope you enjoy the Mac Gel Liner it is such a life saver ๐๐ !!! ๐ <3 and thank you for the lovely comment sweetie! ๐ xox
I’m still trying to get that technique down! So unfortunately for now, I still have mismatched wings haha! xx
Hahah, hopefully practice will make perfect! The Gel liner is less fluid like to help you get a more stable line (easier for you to draw) without spilling and bleeding the liner onto the eye! Testing out your eyeliner skills on Gel liner will help you perfect the stroke sweetie! ๐ & good luck! Xoxox
Great guide! I love the smokey eye too ๐
Thank you lovely ๐ you can even use a blending brush to blend in the gel liner to create a less harsh stroke for a smokey-lined eye too ๐ xoxo
You must have the steadiest hands n the world haha, I suck at eyeliner! I use the gel pot Collection one at the moment but it can get a bit messy ๐ intrigued by the mac pen one, looks good! xx
Hannah x | hannatalks
Thanks so much lovely! Hahah Honestly when you practice loads and loads you’ll get a steady hand too ๐๐! ๐ The Mac pen is great at gliding across the eye with precision! I defo recommend you trying that one out if you’re worried about messing it up as this one doesn’t bleed out and grips steadily in your hand ๐ xoxox
Stunning eye makeup, love the mac liner x
Thank you Nila ๐ xoxo
Amazing make up as always! I love the cat flick you do! Liquid eyeliner is definately my favourite to use ๐

Really?! you didn’t like it :-0 !!! Did you try the waterproof one? that one sucks looool ! And was watery but the original one is very pigmented I think also the Mac Penultimate liner is very pigmented too ๐๐ x
I haven’t tried ant liner from MAC! You know I’m not their biggest fan! ๐ And I have no idea if the Lancome one I had was waterproof on not! Thing is I didn’t liked it and almost instantly got rid of it! ๐๐๐๐๐ xx

I can’t fault the Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink for my eyeliner of choice. I’ve heard lots of good things about the Lancome though… You may sway me to try it out.
Ting | The Ting Thing
Thanks lovely! I’ve heard so many great things about the Bobbi Brown one, but I’m yet to try that one ๐ !!! As for the Lancome Artliner that is one amazing eyeliner product I just can’t stop using it ๐ ๐ I hope I’ve swayed you enough to start using it heheh xox
I also had problems getting my eyes look symmetrical. Now I found a gel liner that I like and it makes it a bit more easier for me.
your eyes are so pretty! great make up look!

Which one do you use? Thank you so much lovely ๐ I love sparkles hehe! I really do think Gel Liner is better! X
I love the Mac eye liner pot, It has been my go to for 7 years now! I love it because it doesn’t pull on your eyelids like pencils do! great post! I am new to your blog!

Thanks for stopping by lovely :)!!! I love the eyeliner pot too! Hehehe I’ve probably used it for around 2 years but hopefully I’ll be using it for more years! I love gel liner because it’s light too ๐ xoxo

Thanks Lovely! They’re a good choice the MAC liners are really great and easy to use ๐ x
Excellent tutorial and I love the eyeliner brands you’ve used they sound fab! I only have liquid eyeliner at the minute and do find it trickier to apply! One mistake and it ruins the whole look ๐ I use the Korres mineral eyeliner and love how long lasting it is x
http://www.krystelcouture.com โฅ
Thank you Jenny ๐ I feel the same 1 little mustake and that’s it the whole eyeliner is ruined! a lil tip for that is to take a cotton bud tip and apply vaseline onto it (the cotton buds with a Pointed tip) and clean up the lines ! It happens with me all the time & find that cleaning up process very useful ๐ & I will have to try out the Korres eyeliner it sounds amazing! Thanks Lovely <3 xox

Gorgeous eye makeup x

Thanks lovely x
I don’t know why, but I always use an eyeliner instead of a liquid pencil.. I should practice a bit with the products that you recommend as I love winged eyes.
http://www.minsbeautyequipment.com
You mean an eyeliner pencil? You should definitely try the gel liner it will make your life so much easier / it’s like a more fluid eyeliner pencil but that you can control like the pencil ๐ xoxox
This looks lovely! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get this down.

Thanks lovely, Honestly you only have to practice and have patience :p hopefully then you’ll be a master of liner hehe xox
Girl you are a lifesaver. I’ve always struggled with eyeliner and only recently have I felt confident enough to use it on a day-to-day basis (usually a line on my upper eyelid). However, I still struggle doing a winged look so will give some of these products a try using your tips ๐ X

๐girlll you’re so welcome ๐ heheheh It’s taken me a while to get the technique in check, hopefully you’ll be able to get your cat eye looking fab with these tips ๐โบ๏ธ xoxox

๐ awww lovely ๐ I honestly think you’ll be fine when you practice hehe !!!! Thanks so much lovely ๐ xoxox
Gurlll, you make it look so easy! LOL! I do love using an angle brush for a effect cat eye flick and yes to the RT eye liner bush, I love it and it makes application so darn easy too!
Shireen | Reflection of Sanity
thank you so much sweetie ๐ !!! Real technique do make a great range of brushes that are just easy to use & apply!!! Hehehe & an angled brush is definitely a great tool to use for beginners/ advanced users too hehe! xoxox
It took me a while to get it right as well and it still doesn’t come out even all of the time. Yours looks perfect! ๐ I was into gel for years but now I’m on the liquid kick. Love that RT liner brush. The two I have are getting old – need to replace soon.
Beauty Isles | An Island Girl’s Beauty and Lifestyle Blog
Thank you so much lovely ๐ why did you go off Gel Liners by the way? ๐ I love a good liquid liner hehe! As for the RT Brushes, they are life savers !!! xox
I think I just fell in love with my Kat Von D liner (a pen brush tip really) and never looked back. ๐
Ohhh you know what I need to try out the Kat Von D Range ๐ I love her makeup style! I would assume her eyeliner range would be just as good!!!
Ugh, I need to take on board your tips and fast because I caught my reflection earlier today and just SIGHED at my eyeliner – it was terrible haha! Have a lovely week, Serene! ๐

Hahahahhaha you shush! Please :p I bet it wasn’t but thank you so much Gabrielle <3 I hope you get the most out of my tips ๐ Have a lovely week also sweetie xoxox
I have the same Real Techniques brushes, but I don’t prefer them for winged eyeliner. Recently I’ve been going through a liquid liner only phase, although I used to love my gel liners lol
RachelShuchatMakeup
I love my liquid liners too at the mo :p what brushes do you recommend to use? ๐ I’ll have to check out your suggestions xox
You have such a great technique! Sometimes you just have to leave the house with slightly wonky eyeliner, especially if it’s winged. It’s the only way I learn! ๐
Thank you so much lovely! Hahaha that’s how I learned too :-p endless days of wonky eyeliner and looking like an emo ๐ but I got there in the end! Thanks sweetie xoxo
Excellent! Love the Lancome liquid liner. Have you tried Stila’s famous version? My go-to.
I’ve never tried it ๐ thanks for the recommendation I will have a look! ๐ xox
