How to: Perfect Winged Eyeliner

Start with a series of dots to act as your guide along your eye; the first will be in the corner of your eye, the second just above the start of your iris, the third right above your pupil, the fourth above the end of your iris, the fifth where the white of your eye ends, and your last two right off the tip of your eye, curving upwards. Connect the tops of your dots along the top, making sure that the line curves with the shape of your eye. Create the “wing” outline by tracing the bottom of the flick to draw the triangle shape.
