Makeup trends come and go, but I think it’s safe to say one can no longer be defined as a trend: perfect cat’s eye winged eyeliner. A subtle or bold swipe of liner across your upper lid is more than a statement — it’s a necessity for many women. There’s just one problem: perfecting winged liner still takes some serious skill. Until now.

Meet your new best makeup friend: the best stamp eyeliners that feature winged-shape applicators you simply apply to your lid and then remove. Like magic, you’re left with a stamp-like eyeliner wing that is perfectly positioned on your eyelid and stays in place for hours without smudging.

As a fairly new product type, stamped eyeliner isn’t ubiquitous (just yet). But we got the details on how to use this amazingly convenient product and which stamped eyeliners are worth your time.

Why Is Winged Eyeliner So Difficult?

Love the drama of winged eyeliner but can’t master the look, despite years and years of trying? You’re not alone. Stamp eyeliner was invented for the many, many makeup lovers who can’t get their flicks to be symmetrical or fail to keep a steady hand while applying eye makeup. This product has everything you need built right into the applicator — and the simple design will make you wonder why it took so long to get this genius product out there.

Vamp Stamp VaVaVoom Stamp

Vamp Stamp is one of the leaders in stamp eyeliner technology. Its dual-sided applicator comes in a choice of three wing shapes: kitten, medium, and large and you can opt to purchase it with eyeliner ink and an angled brush (for touch ups and to truly perfect it).


Here’s how you use it:


1. Envision where you want to place your wing. You may even choose to dust a bit of eyeshadow powder over that area to use as a guide.

2. Dip one side of the Vamp Stamp applicator into a cushion or liquid eyeliner. Make sure the applicator is fully saturated.

3. Apply the stamp: the “V” should be placed over the corner of your eye. Press firmly, but quickly, and then remove the stamp to avoid smudging.


4. Stand back and survey your masterpiece. If you need to adjust the wing or connect it more, use an angled eyeliner brush for touch-ups.
