It's fair to say that Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell knows a thing or two about flawless make-up application.

From glamorous Insta selfies toher £10 foundation lasting through hours of waltzin' on the telly, she makes the whole beauty thing look so easy.

Another application technique she has made beginner-proof is applying liquid eyeliner. More importantly, how to get the perfect wing, every time.

Sharing the hack with her 845k followers on Instagram, Dianne captioned the tutorial, "Posting this for all those girls who struggle to get the perfect wing liner and then even if you get one the other is never the same"

Dianne showed that all you need is a BOBBY PIN and your favourite liquid eyeliner.

The professional dancer showed herself painting the angled edges of the bobby pin with liquid eyeliner, before pressing it down on the corner of her eye.

She then filled in the rest free-hand, which quickly turned into the perfect wing.

We are so copying this.

One user hilariously wrote, 'Safe to say this went better than the banana bread.'

LOL.

The paint pot style applicator allows complete precision and the inky formula gives a deep colour to the liner. We love that it's under a fiver and still great quality finish. You can buy this product on the button below on Amazon.

It's been a good few years since Kat Von Dee launched this iconic eyeliner and it's still one of our favourites. It's waterproof, smudge proof and the thin pen is ideal for any type of winged look you're going for. Also it's vegan - what more could you want?

Fat Liquid Eyeliner, Eyeko

Personally this one is my absolute fave! The chubby stick makes it easy to hold for a steady hand and the fat to thin felt tip creates the perfect flick. Extra points for being the blackest black there is. You can buy this product on the button below on Amazon.

They're Real! Push-Up Eyeliner

A gel liner that requires no brush (so no extra purchase needed) and is really easy to create a strong even line. This one is also waterproof and long lasting - although you do have to give it a minute or so to fully dry to avoid smudging. It may be on the pricier side but the rubber tip and mechanical motion to release the gel means that theres no product wastage, and no chance of the tip drying out. You can buy this product on the button below on Benefit Official Online Store.

Another felt tip style liner that stays put for up to 24 hours. Now that's staying power. Just what you need if your going for after work drinks, no need to reapply, that liner ain't budging. Plus the handy grip section means extra steadiness when applying. You can buy this product on the button below on Amazon.

We love how versatile this felt tip eyeliner is, featuring a smiley face-shaped stamp on the end of it. The eyeliner itself is super easy to use and gives you a matte finish.
