The winged eyeliner has been a Bollywood style staple for a long time. Of course, it all started in the 1950s when actresses like Nutan among many others, sported this style for the silver screen and off it as well. The 1960s saw a more dramatic version of the winged eyeliner as seen on Sharmila Tagore, Mumtaz and a bevy of other beauties. The trend continues to be a personal favourite of many leading ladies nowadays. In fact, leggy beauty Deepika Padukone is hardly seen without her trademark winged eyeliner.
