This hair grip hack will give you the perfect winged eyeliner to help you take on Monday

Cathy Donohue

If you’ve ever made an absolute hames of winged eyeliner, this beauty hack is going to make your day.

It’s tougher than it looks and the most annoying part of all is when you get the perfect shape on one side but the other just will not behave.

However, this hack is a genuine game changer and before you know it, you’ll be able to create the perfect wing in your sleep*.

The best thing all you need is your eyeliner of choice and a hair grip…because we all of have about twenty of them stored in random places including your handbag, bedside locker, jacket pocket and so forth.

We have beauty blogger Bianca Alcázar to thank for this rather fantastic tip and with the help of the below video, your winged eyeliner game should improve tenfold.

It’s pretty simple, you just dip the end of the grip in liquid/gel liner and carefully place the end of it at the outer corner of your eye.

Carefully, we repeat CAREFULLY.

Once you have this outline, you simply fill in the shape with your favourite eyeliner and what do you know? You’ve just perfected the winged eye that previously seemed impossible.

*Slight exaggeration but you get the idea.
