What you need
Steps
Start with clean, dry eyelids. Apply a light eyeshadow base or a little concealer so the powder and liner grip and last longer.
Sweep brown eyeshadow across the lid and into the crease with a blending brush. Build it in thin layers until the color looks even.
Pat a shimmery shade on the center of the lid and the inner corner. Keep the shimmer below the crease so the wing stays sharp.
Map the wing first. Draw a thin line from the outer corner toward the tail of your brow, then connect it back to the lash line.
Fill the triangle between that line and your upper lash line with gel eyeliner. Use short strokes and keep the edge clean.
Line the upper lash line from the inner corner to the outer corner. Join it smoothly to the filled wing.
Tidy the wing with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. Sharpen the tail and clean up any smudges under the eye.
Curl your lashes and apply one or two coats of mascara. Let the first coat dry before adding the second.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep both eyes open and look straight ahead when you draw the wing so it sits right for your eye shape.
Draw the wing in thin layers instead of one thick stroke, since gel liner is easier to add than to remove.
For hooded or small eyes, keep the liner thin on the lid and let the wing do the work.
Check the wing in a mirror at eye level before mascara so you can fix uneven sides.
Questions
Can I do this look without gel eyeliner?
Yes. A liquid or felt tip pen works for the wing, and a dark brown eyeshadow on a damp angled brush gives a softer version.
How do I make the wing last all day?
Set the liner with a little matching eyeshadow and use a smudge proof or waterproof formula, especially if your lids get oily.
What if my wings come out uneven?
Fix them before mascara. Clean the longer wing with a cotton swab and remover, then redraw it to match the shorter side.
