How: Powder your lids to create a dry, creaseless canvas for the eyeliner. Then, pull the skin of your lid up to give you a little space to work with.
Run the liner in a fine line along your lashes, stopping a few millimeters from the outer corner of your eye. Hold the lid up for a few seconds longer, allowing the formula to dry so it doesn't leave a mark on your lids. Release, and then flick the liner up toward the tail of your brow, starting where you stopped your line earlier. You'll get greater precision with a firm, felt-tip applicator (we recommend Pur Minerals Double Ego Dual-Ended Eyeliner, $21) than you will with a gel or powder.
Keep the wing short for a subtle lift, or lengthen it for a more feline effect. Finish with a coat of mascara.
