Like, i just want to be able to do this! Why can I never do this well!? I cam do tightliner but thats like it i know makeup isnt in any way a deciding factor of womanhood but good lord i feel like such an abject failure as a woman when I cant even do fucking simple wings
It took me about a year of practice until i could get proper wings without having to stop halfway through and redo everything. The kind of eyeliner can also be really important, i couldn’t get anything to work until i switched to a liquid one. Also, eye shape can make some techniques just plain unworkable. Took me a while until i figured out how to work around my hooded lids and that some styles just do not work for me and my eyes aren’t even that hooded.
It takes practice. Be gentle with yourself, we don’t often get the grace afforded to those trying makeup at 6 or 13 or whatever even though it can be the first time. Give yourself time, if its messed up wipe it off try again.
Thats the thing, i used to be good (or at least decent) at liquid liner. But i just did tightliner for the last while and lost my hard earned skills! I went back to the mirror and made it work tho (but it took me 45 minutes lol)
