Having done my makeup for quite some time now (did you think I was going to put a number on it?), I've learned a few tricks of the trade from top makeup artists, plus a ton of trial and error.</p><br /><p>For instance, create a wing by going from your lid to your lash line - not the other way around. Otherwise the wing will get longer, and longer, and looonger. Tape is an interesting option for rookies: if you want a sharp wing but are still learning the proper technique, a small piece of tape can help create your vision without a ton of fuss. I wouldn't recommend using it every time you create a wing, but it's a great jumping-off point until you master the art that is winged liner.</p><br /><p>Check out these ideas plus six other helpeful tips for getting the perfect eyeliner application, and let me know your favorite eyeliner trick in the comments!</p>
