Practice makes perfect — that's the only way to flaunt winged eye make-up. Till now.

Elaborate eye make-up can be traced back in history to as early as 400 BC, when royal in ancient Egyptian palaces lined the waterlines of their eyes. The belief was that the more the make-up you wore, the higher your status. And so, the Egyptians opted for the kohl look, by winging it out and introducing the world to the first cat eye. It made a comeback in the 1980s, when music icons Madonna and Cyndi Lauper flaunted it, and today, has become a versatile style that make your eyes pop, while looking effortlessly edgy. But the effort it takes to make the perfect arch, and then fill it up, isn't everyone's cup of tea. But the wing in a blink — an eyeliner pen by Nykaa that was recently launched — ensures getting this look is an effortless one. It comes with a winged stamp on one end and a lining tip on the other.
