The hesitation you feel is perfectly okay and I assure you that after the dotted markings, using the liner for that seamless flick will be a piece of cake. If you are not confident with the liquid liner, just pick a pencil and draw that line without worrying.
Step 3 – Give your outline some depth

This is a fun step indeed. It is now that you begin to go deep! 😉 You may proceed the way you like, but it’s always better to start from the inside and reach out to the wing slowly and gradually. A little tip here – don’t be hard on yourself- if you feel like blinking, rest, blink, and resume. There’s no rule that forces you to keep your eyes steady all the time. So, just chill!

Don’t let your spirit down if the liner on your eye is not deep enough in color. You can always double it with a second coat, which will not only add better color and shine, but also give you a chance to right any break in the line as well. What more do you need?
Step 6 – Finish your perfect cat eye wing by clearing the extra eyeliner, if any

After you have traced your liner, you can then pay attention to the perfection of the winged edge of your look as well. I’ll always recommend finishing the tip of your flying away end with a sleek liner brush for the best magic.

Now, we have the winged eyeliner perfected and ready, the only thing left is to complete your winged look with lush lash magic. A couple mascara strokes should fix it just fine. Always go from inside on your lashes and don’t you forget to end with a roll for that perfect curl. If you’re not confident, try placing a finger underneath the lash!
