The Wing Fling
Never screw up your eyeliner ever again. All you need is to apply your pigment and clean it up with a Q-tip to create sharp wings. As shown in the video, apply black eyeshadow with your pinky finger at the outer corners and then dampen a Q-tip with makeup remover and clean up the edges to form wings. You can then draw on your eyeliner. An easier way would be to simply define your lash lines with liner and then use the Q-tip to clean up into wing form. You can even use this hack to shape smokey eye makeup.
