"As it turns out, the problem isn't a lack of skill; it's that most liner hacks are designed with different eye shapes in mind. On certain lids, the "standard" wing - one with an upward flick from the top corner - can disappear into the crease or look uneven when your eyes are open. Thankfully, TikTok has divulged a trick that actually works for those who just aren't made for the classic cat-eye."
"The secret? Following the shape of your eyes. Earlier this week, creator Mikayla Flynn shared a winged liner tutorial she swears works. "Going from the top corner of the lid out doesn't work for hooded or deep-set eyes, because it doesn't follow your eye shape at all," she explains. "You're basically drawing into empty space -there's nothing guiding the line, which is why you need to start on your lower lash line and extend straight up.""
Many standard cat-eye techniques fail on hooded and deep-set eyes because the top-corner flick can disappear into the crease or look uneven when eyes are open. A more effective approach is to follow the natural contour of the eye by starting the wing on the lower lash line and extending upward toward the brow. Using powder eyeshadow with an angled brush produces a softer, more controllable line and resists smudging on these eye shapes. Drawing from the outer corner upward along the eye's shape creates wings that remain visible and flattering when the eyes are open.
