Winged Eyeliner
The classic flick: a black liquid line that thickens toward the outer corner and ends in a sharp wing, with a neutral lid and a nude-pink lip.
When to wear it
Wear it to work, on a weekday or with a plain outfit, when one clean line is all the eye makeup you want. It is for you if you are learning liquid liner. The pictures show it on hooded blue eyes, on downturned brown eyes and on a woman in her 60s with fine lines and glasses.

How it's done
A satin, even base with light contour and a soft peach blush. Brows filled with fine strokes. A neutral matte taupe across the lid and into the crease, with a soft brown in the outer corner. A black liquid liner along the upper lash line, thin at the inner corner and thickening toward the outer corner, finished in a clean, sharp wing angled toward the tail of the brow and drawn so it shows above the lid fold with the eye open. The upper waterline tightlined in black. Black lengthening mascara on the upper and lower lashes. Lips in a nude-pink satin lipstick.
Questions
- How do I draw winged eyeliner on hooded eyes?
- Look straight into the mirror with your eyes open and mark where the wing should end, toward the tail of the brow. Draw from the lash line to that mark so the line shows above the fold. It will look bent when you close your eye.
- Why tightline the upper waterline?
- Black pencil in the upper waterline fills the gaps between the lashes, so no skin shows between the lash roots and the wing. The line then looks thicker and darker without covering more of the lid.
