Steps
Set up a mirror at eye level in good light and rest your elbow on a table so your hand stays steady.
Draw the line in small short strokes along the upper lash line instead of one long sweep. Connect the strokes as you go.
Look straight ahead and use your lower lash line as a guide for the angle of the wing.
Draw the wing first as a thin line pointing toward the end of your brow, then fill the small triangle in.
Fill any gaps between the lashes and the line, keeping the thickness even from inner to outer corner.
Let the liner dry for a few seconds, then dip a cotton bud in micellar water and clean up the edges for a sharp finish.
Check both eyes in the mirror and even out any difference in wing length or thickness.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep your elbow anchored on a surface to stop your hand from shaking.
Draw the wing before filling it so you can fix the angle while it is still thin.
Clean up mistakes right away with a damp cotton bud before the liner sets.
Keep both eyes open while checking so the wings look even in a normal expression.
Questions
What if my eyeliner comes out uneven on each eye?
Draw the wing on both eyes first, then compare them in the mirror before filling in. Small differences are normal and easy to fix with a cotton bud.
Can I do this with a pencil instead of liquid liner?
Yes, the same small-stroke and wing-first method works with a pencil, though a fine liquid tip gives a sharper edge.
How do I remove mistakes without ruining my eyeshadow?
Use a pointed cotton bud dipped in a little micellar water and dab gently along the edge instead of rubbing.
