Find the angle from the lower lash line
Imagine the curve of your lower lash line continuing upward toward the tail of your brow. Mark a small guide line outward along that angle.

Draw the wing tip, then connect inward
Instead of drawing from the inner corner outward, start at the outer tip and glide inward toward the center of your lid. This creates a neat triangular wing.

Fill the gap and smooth the line
Connect the wing smoothly to the tightline from lesson 15. Fill the small gap between the wing base and your lash line so the flow looks seamless.

Clean up edges with a swab or tape
If the line looks thick, take a cotton swab dampened with a tiny drop of lotion and sweep upward under the wing to sharpen it. Applying guide tape before lining also gives crisp edges.

- Look straight into a mirror with your eyes open to set the angle; if you close your eyes, the wing may hide inside your crease.
- Ensure the wing tip clears your eye crease so the line stays smooth when your eyes are open.
