Our favorite winged eyeshadow look is eyeshadow with eyeliner. To do that, follow our tutorial on how to make a wing:

• Place a tape diagonally in an upward direction on the outer corner of your eyes towards the end of your eyebrow.
• With an angled brush, draw the line of your wing starting from the highest corner of the wing towards the center of your eyelid.
• Winged eyeshadow can now be achieved by filling in the eyeshadow wing with an eyeshadow of your choice (like Color Tattoo Up To 24 Hr Longwear Cream Eyeshadow) towards the lash line.
• Take off the tape and you now have the sharpest winged eye makeup.

It is quite possible to winged eyeshadow looks with no eyeliner whatsoever and here is how:
