First, there’s a risk of smudging the eyeliner when you improperly remove the tape. Second, you can ruin your face makeup if the tape pulls it off.
Lastly, it may irritate your skin. Instead, I recommend taking your time crafting your wings for a more precise and comfortable application.
Use a pencil eyeliner first to draw an eyeliner line that starts in the inner corner of your eyes, goes across your lashline, and then fans out into a wing shape. You can try to create one smooth, cohesive line or make one line and build your wing afterward.
When angling your eyeliner wing, align it with the tail end of your eyebrow. This will help you keep things a bit more even.
You should also remember to keep your wings more turned upward versus downward. Avoid widening your eyes or raising your eyebrows as you sketch out your wing, as you want to keep your face as relaxed as possible.
Once you’ve used your pencil eyeliner to trace out wings you’re fairly satisfied with, you can sharpen their edges using a Q-Tip dipped in micellar water to eliminate any excess liner and or even use concealer to sharpen things up and make the wings look more precise.
Then, take a liquid eyeliner and gently use it to trace over your pencil liner. The liquid liner looks bolder and more defined.
You can absolutely start with liquid liner and try to get decent wings on your first or second try, but be warned that if you try to wipe and clean it up, it will leave some intense smudging behind. That’s why it’s best to use only a liquid liner at the end if you’re a beginner.
Let your liquid liner dry briefly before touching or moving your eyes. When you’re done with all your makeup, apply some setting spray to keep your wings in place!
Again, drawing out winged eyeliner can get frustrating and requires practice. But the more you do it, the more used you’ll be to it, and the better your eyeliner will look. Good luck!
