The Perfect Wing Eyeliner by Hannah Keckeisen, Alyssa Bethke, and Carla Camargo


Have you ever struggled to get the perfect winged eyeliner? Well fear no more! Today we will be doing a tutorial on how to perfect the cat eye for beginners! Here at Vici Beauty School we will be showing the most basic way to get a flawless look every time.



  1. Alyssa Bethke: Step 1 and 2
    What you’ll need: scotch tape, your choice of eyeliner (liquid, pencil, gel and gel brush), mascara (eyelash curler optional), primer optional, fake eyelashes optional. Any sort of brand of makeup will work for any of these products, including drugstore products! We would recommend using liquid eyeliner and any waterproof mascara.
  2. Put scotch tape on corner of eye at angle of desired wing. I usually extend the tape to the end of my eyebrow to get the right angle. Don’t worry about peeling the tape off, I promise it doesn’t hurt.
  3. Alyssa Bethke: Step 3
     Open eyeliner and put proper amount of product on brush if using gel. If using liquid, wipe off the sides on the opening of the tube so you don’t use too much product. If using a pencil, make sure it is freshly sharped so you can get a nice smooth and straight line.
  4. Alyssa Bethke: Step 4-5
    If you decided to use liquid eyeliner open the eyeliner and brush off on the opening of the eyeliner container any unnecessary liquid eyeliner so that you keep a proper amount of liquid eyeliner on the brush. If you decided to use gel eyeliner then open the eyeliner and use an angle brush to carefully dip it in the eyeliner and make sure you have a proper amount of eyeliner on both ends of the angled brush. You do not want to have excessive eyeliner on the angled brush nor the regular brush that comes with the liquid eyeliner as this will cause clamping, smudges and for liquid eyeliner it will be harder to dry off which can also lead to smudging eyeliner on your upper eye lids. 
  5. With the tip of your brush lightly pressed against your outer eye lid work your way to the inner of your eye lid. When reaching your final desired length at your outer eye lid begin detaching the brush slowly away from your skin as this will make a thinner and sharp line at the end of your eye lid, which is what this tutorial is aiming to teach you. Do not worry about getting eyeliner on to the tape as it will be removed later on in the process.
