Steps
Sit in good light with a mirror at eye level so you can see your lash line clearly.
Start with a thin line along the outer third of your upper lash line. Keep it close to the lashes.
Draw short, light strokes rather than one long sweep. This keeps the line even and easy to fix.
Extend the line slightly past the outer corner, following the natural angle of your lower lash line.
Connect the tip of that flick back to the lash line to form a small triangle.
Fill in the triangle with small strokes until the wing looks solid.
Check both eyes in the mirror and even out any differences by adding a little more to the smaller wing.
Clean up stray marks with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.
Tips and common mistakes
Build the wing in thin layers instead of drawing one thick line at once.
Match the flick angle to your lower lash line so it suits your eye shape.
Keep the liner tip sharp and close the cap between strokes so it does not dry out.
Do the harder eye first, since matching the second one is easier.
Questions
What eyeliner is easiest for beginners?
A fine-tip liquid pen or a soft gel pencil gives you control for short strokes. Pencils are more forgiving if you make a mistake.
How do I fix a wing that is too thick?
Twist a cotton swab with makeup remover and gently thin the edge. Work slowly and check in the mirror between passes.
Can I do this if I have hooded eyes?
Yes. Keep the line thin and make the flick shorter so it stays visible when your eye is open.
