Use A Spoon To Create The Perfect Winged Liner.
Holding the stem of a spoon against the outer corner of your eye, draw the straight line as the first step for your cat-eye. Then flip the spoon so it’s hugging your eyelid, and use the rounded outer edge to create a perfectly curved winged effect.
Use that same spoon to avoid mascara marks on your upper eye lid.
