Perfect, winged eyeliner is the holy grail of sleek, sophisticated make-up looks. But it’s damn-near impossible to get right.
We normally end up with one perfect eye, and one panda eye – and then spend the next 45 minutes trying to even them out. And we do not have time for this nonsense.
Luckily, a stylist has revealed her simple trick for drawing professional-looking winged eyeliner in seconds.
Susie Hasler, 36, from East Grinstead, West Sussex, posted a video to her Instagram followers revealing how she mastered the look by using eyeshadow pads from Amazon – which only cost about £1.
The mum-of-one, who specialises in styling women whose body shapes have changed, shared a tutorial showing how she applied her eyeliner, and the finished look.
The post, entitled ‘cheat your way to winged eyeliner’, has already attracted more than 6,000 views in just a few days on Susie’s account.
Susie said in the footage that a makeup stylist friend had recommended the eyeshadow pads, adding: ‘I have tried so many tutorials and just can’t do it.’
Susie demonstrates in the video where to apply the pads on her face, and then continues to add eyeshadow to the edges of her eyelid, working her way in.
‘It’s basically like a stencil,’ Susie explains. ‘And it stops those dark colours going under your eyes.’
She also reveals how using brighter colours towards the centre of the eyelids helps to ‘open up your eyes’.
Susie uses a pen eyeliner to draw along the curve of the eyeshadow pad, away from her eye. She then reveals the finished look.
Susie added: ‘Winged eyeliner is a great way to at a bit of edginess to a look, but it’s also really tricky to do it right.
‘I loved hearing about this simple trick and wanted to share it with my followers, as it really does work!’
The post attracted loads of comments from fans and people desperate to try the technique for themselves. Hagardashery wrote: ‘They look great what a good idea!’
Daughterofpearl added: ‘Ooh I love that! I’m always 50/50 when it comes to liquid eyeliner. It either looks badass or terrible.’
‘You can buy those Make up pads in primark too 50 for £1.50 :)’ said Itsaboss_life.
