Tips for winged liner?

theboywithmakeup:

Who’s got them? I am actually horrid at it.

-You can get a 99-cent pointy art brush and bend it with a pair of pilars (or your hands depending on how strong you are and how easily the brush bends) so it’s at an angle. This makes it easier to see where you’re actually placing the color because your hand doesn’t block it anymore

-For a cat eye-esque styles: I like to think of the line as being in three parts. (1) the general line from one corner of the eye to the other (2) the angle of of the wing and (3) thickness of the wing. Does that make sense? I can put together something to explain this with photos in a bit if that would make this weird analogy clearer.

-Spoon method! Sounds absolutely nuts. Works surprisingly well. 

Hope this helps!
