If you thought winged eyeliner has had its time in the sun, think again. Timeless and eternal, the winged liner has come a long way, with new variations being added each passing second. Here are our picks of the best products (rated on basis of difficulty level) to achieve a winged look.

Liquid Eyeliner:

Liquid eyeliner has a water-like formula and is great if you have a steady, practised hand. It helps that liquid liner from different brands comes with brushes of different thickness and shape to help you perfect your eye makeup. However, this is the trickiest type to achieve a wing unless you're really good. Difficulty rating: 8/10
