Achieving the perfect cat-eye is no easy feat - but lucky for makeup aficionados everywhere, Instagram user Makeup By Sugar has figured out a way to make winged liner basically foolproof.

In a video posted to her Instagram page last month, the makeup artist demonstrated a brilliant beauty hack you'll immediately want to add to your arsenal by showing how to use dental floss to create her cat-eye. First painting liner on the floss, Makeup By Sugar then used it like a tiny stamp on her eyelid, once for the bottom of the flick and once for the top. She then filled in the middle and completed the line across her lid - before revealing the most perfect wing you've ever seen.

Clearly having tried this a few times, the makeup genius cautions not to try the hack with mint-flavored dental floss - which I imagine would burn quite a bit. But as long as you have the classic, unscented stuff, you should be good to go.
