Steps
Start with clean, dry eyelids. If you use eyeshadow or primer, apply it first and let it set so the liner grips and does not smudge.
Rest your elbow on a table and hold a small mirror slightly below eye level. Look down into it so your lid is flat and easy to draw on.
Draw a thin line along the upper lash line from the inner corner to the outer corner. Keep it close to the lashes and build thickness in small passes.
At the outer corner, extend a short flick upward toward the tail of your brow. Keep both eyes even by checking them straight on in the mirror.
Fill in the triangle between the flick and the lash line so the wing looks solid, not like an outline.
Add a small point at the inner corner if you want the dramatic look. Keep it short and follow the natural curve of your eye.
Let the liner dry for a minute before opening your eyes wide. Clean any mistakes with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.
Check both eyes in natural light and even out any differences in thickness or flick length.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the liner tip sharp and wipe it on a tissue between passes for a cleaner line.
Draw the flick first on both eyes, then connect it to the lash line, so the wings match.
Do not pull the eyelid tight while drawing, or the line will look different when you let go.
Keep the liner out of your waterline and inner eye if your eyes are sensitive.
Questions
What if my wings do not match?
Fix the smaller wing by extending it slightly, then thicken the other to match. Check in a mirror straight on, not at an angle.
Can I do this with pencil liner?
Yes, but pencil smudges more easily. A fine-tip liquid or gel pen gives a sharper flick and lasts longer.
How do I remove mistakes without ruining the rest?
Twist a cotton swab in makeup remover and dab only the mistake. Let it dry, then redraw the edge.
