How do you achieve an 'eyeliner flick' with makeup?

To achieve an 'eyeliner flick,' creating a winged shape that extends from the outer corner of the eye is essential. This technique involves applying eyeliner in a manner that not only defines the lashes but also lifts the eye shape by extending outward. The flick or wing adds a dramatic effect and can alter the appearance of the eyes, making them look more elongated and awake.

Using a precise tool such as a liquid liner or a gel liner can help in creating that sharp, defined tip characteristic of an eyeliner flick. The technique often involves starting from the inner corner of the eye, drawing a line along the lash line, and then extending it outwards and upwards towards the brow bone to create the desired shape.

Drawing a straight line across the eyelid does not achieve the flicked effect, nor does using a pencil instead of liquid liner inherently create the desired wing shape; pencil liners can sometimes lack the precision needed for a clean flick. Similarly, applying eyeshadow instead of eyeliner does not provide the same definition or sharpness required for a successful eyeliner flick. Therefore, the winged shape extending from the outer corner is the correct approach for achieving this popular makeup look.
