Hi everyone,
When I posted my first video last week I asked you to comment and tell me what YOU wanted to see. The resounding response was a tutorial on how I do my winged eyeliner!
So…trying to do your liner on camera is not easy, also I don’t have a viewfinder so I was using my compact mirror as a guide. It’s certainly not my best work but hopefully you will still find it informative : )
Sorry for the autofocus nonsense throughout, I am trying to figure out how to get it to stop doing that. I may use the manual focus next time : ) Maybe it’s because I’m waving my arms around the whole time? WHO KNOWS!
Here’s a quick recap on the steps I use to create my winged liner:
-
Step 1:
Line from the middle of the eye to the outer corner
-
Step 2:
To create the wing, follow the line from the outer corner of your eye to the end of your eyebrow
-
Step 3:
Fill in as close to the lash line as you can
-
Step 4:
I have close set eyes so I skip this step, but if you have normal/wide set eyes you can line the rest of your eye to the inner corner. It’s best to do this at the end because there is a very small amount of product on your applicator. It will make applying a very thin line much easier than if it’s loaded with product, kapish?
Please give this video a thumbs up if you liked it, and leave me a comment telling me what you want to see in my next video!

Amazing video Megan, I really loved it!
Do you find this liner to be on the drier side? I’m not used to working with gel liner, but I think that I could manage when it’s in this style of packaging
Megan Joy says
I do find it a little dry, and I am also getting used to this liner and how to hold it to properly apply it (hence the crumbling). But if I take the time to do it right it looks much better.
Jen says
Great video, Megan! The winged liner looks perfect Cant’ wait to give the new BeneFit liner a go
Megan Joy says
Ohhh I can’t wait to see your review! I’m sure you’ll love it : )
Julie says
I find using the stamping method for this liner is best. It just sets the eyeliner in the right place, then no crumbles. I love how perfect your winged eyeliner is!!!
Next video should be a DIY mask or something. I love your DIYs.
Megan Joy says
I like the stamping method but I find sometimes the gel is too thick and it doesn’t actually transfer when I do it that way. If I “swipe” it, it seems to come out better for me. I need more practice applying liner on camera lol
Cassandra says
You should try switching from eye to eye starting with the wing and then move in – it helps with the symmetry
Megan Joy says
I am totally going to try that thanks!
Sarah says
Your video turned out awesome! You make winged liner look so effortless.
