#eyelinger

 I’ve had this problem for pretty much my entire life. I don’t quite have hooded eyes but the crease of my upper eyelid continues all the way to the very edge of my eye with absolutely no gap rendering it impossible to draw winged eyeliner from pretty much any tutorial I’ve found online. 

But I have found a solution at last. 

Use liquid eyeliner to. Start just under the outer corner of your bottom lid lash line. (Don’t start too far in because liquid eyeliner doesn’t look very good on your bottom lid. The creases under your eye can make it hard to draw a straight line.)

Angle your brush parallel to your lash line but keep going past your eye. Draw the wing just under the hooded eye crease.  (I tried just over the top of my lash line as some tutorials suggested but this created a jagged line and made my eyes water so I wouldn’t recommend it)

In one stroke use the smallest amount of pressure to draw the wing. I make it only the thickness of an actual hair. I think this looks more natural and realistic than a think line, because it looks like a real eyelash hair when people see you from the front.

Use dark brown or black eye shadow on a tiny brush to draw a line directly under your bottom lid lash line. This will make your wing fade into your bottom lashes. Start at the halfway point of your eye (under your pupil) and draw the line outwards just under your lash line until it meets the wing on the outer corner of your eye. I don’t draw it on my inner side of my eye because after several hours I find eye shadow often gets trapped in the creases under my eye and the tear ducks, so we want to avoid those creases at all costs) This will soften the line and remove any jaggedness that can be seen in the liquid eyeliner line.
