You might also want to try a dramatic “glossy” winged eyeliner that’s look pretty awesome for making statement at parties.

It’s how creative you get with your imagination. To draw a stunning liner, you have to be creative.

What do you use for winged eyeliner?

If Instagram makeup influencer Teni Panosian guide does not work for you, then you probably need addition tools to master the killer wings.

Do not worry. Your solution lies in everyday objects such as a spoon, ribbons or Scotch tapes specifically designed for this purpose.

Winged Eyeliner with tape

  • Cut a tape measuring about 2 cm and glue along the outer edge of your eyes at an angle that you want your wings to be.
  • Trace along the sloping edge with your eyeliner to draw the wing using the contours of the strip as a guide.
  • Finish by extending the line along your upper lash line.

How to do winged eyeliner with a spoon

Head to your kitchen and pick up a spoon to give you the perfect winged eyeliner you’ve always desired. The right edge of the handle and the curve of the spoon is a perfect tool for neat and precise wings.

  • Hold the handle of the spoon at the outer corner of the eye.
  • Draw a straight line with your eyeliner following the line of the handle.
  • Now place the rounded portion of the spoon and cup of your eyelids.
  • Use the rounded edge to create the curvy tip of the wing.
  • Fill the gap between two lines with eyeliner and extend the liner over your upper lash line as you normally do.

Winged Eyeliner with Business Card

Your solution for skillfully applying winged eyeliner is probably sitting in your purse. Fish out a business card that you no longer have to use and make your personal winged eyeliner stencil.

  • Take a business card and draw a line to match the size of your eyes and how you want your wings to be like.
  • Take a pair of scissors and cut out the pattern you drew.
  • Use the cutout as a stencil for your wings

Winged Eyeliner with Swipe Card

Use your credit or debit card to help you draw your winged eyeliner, instead of paying hefty prices to buy expensive pencils.

  • Hold the right edge of the card in the outer corner of the eye making slightly oblique with your temples.
  • Trace along the right edge with eyeliner to create the wings.
  • Extend the eyeliner to the inside corners of your eyes along the line of the upper lashes.

PS: You can also use a pen, pencil or a substantially straight object and follow the same method to get a perfect wing eyeliner. However, in these case, the wing is likely to be sharper and less sinuous.

Another pretty cool idea is to create a compounded (layered) eyeliner effect. Give it a try only if you have already master the basic winged eyeliner tutorial. We just love how Giulianaa created this glamorous look below.
