How do I create a winged eyeliner effect?

3)    Gently drag the eyeliner brush along your upper lashline, starting from the inner corner out towards the outer corner of your eye

4)    Try to apply the eyeliner as close to the eyelashes as possible

5)    For a thicker line, apply slightly more pressure

6)    To create the perfect winged angle, continue eyeliner along the natural curve of the lower lash line, as if it were continuing upwards towards the outer edge of the brow.

7)    Leaving this tip of the wing as a fine line, extend the line on the upper lash line to connect with the extended line from the lower lash line.

8)    Color in any spaces. Winged eyeliner should appear thicker at the outer corner and thinner towards the inner corner of your eye

9)    Once you have finished, try not to blink for around 10 seconds to prevent the eyeliner from smudging
