1. Business cards/scotch tape- Winged liner is one thing that even the most experienced makeup junkies can’t get right sometimes. In fact, this is the case with a lot of us. When we decide that today I am going to create a winged liner, we are never too sure if we will get it right or not. But if you want your winged liner to be spot on every time you decide to do it then use either a business card or stick on some scotch tape to get the shape right. All you have to do is place the business card diagonally under your eye where you want your wing. Use the liner to draw the wing with card/scotch tape as a stencil.

2. Spoons- There are quite a few ways in which you can use a spoon. For instance, if you don’t have an eyelash curler or you just broke yours, you can use the spoon to curl your lashes. Warm up the spoon a little with a blow dryer and then press your lashes on the edges of the spoon to curl them. You can also use the spoon as a mascara shield. Place the spoon over your eyelid so that it is covered and then apply the mascara as you normally do. Cold spoons can be used for reducing the puffiness around the eye area.
