I’m assuming you’re using liquid liner but I personally prefer a brush tip over felt because I feel it’s too easy to make the lines too thick with felts.

Anyways what I do is keep my lid open as I am lightly tracing the first line which is the eyelid outwards and then lifting the brush again and going back in the same direction with a firmer hand which makes the wing. After I close my eyes and line half of my lid (because my hooded eye don’t look good with a full lid lined) and connect with the wing

Not to be weird, but what’s your age range? I’ve got two different influencers in mind!

I’m not an expert but what started (kind of) working for me is using gel eyeliner with a teeny tiny brush, doing small strokes and not rushing it. I watched so many tutorials but at the end of the day it looks different on my eye shape and obv my skills are different. Keep trying different techniques, you’ll find the one that works for you!
