It seems physically impossible for me to apply gel liner!! I also can't do a good cat eye/wing tip liner look with liquid without it looking like WAY too much. Help?

Have your tried watching an eyeliner tutorial video?

Yes, but none of them make a whole lot of sense, and they all involve a think line on bottom.

Try using tape :) that'll get both wings even. Just line it up from your nose to the corner of your eye. Also start out with a small wing to avoid that "too much" look. Just remember to take your time and start with thin lines, and build it thicker. Its much harder to take away than add!

I also find that gel is a lot easier :) I still need work on creating a wing liner with liquid. Maybe try a gel/cream with an angled brush till you start to perfect it and then go to liquid.

For me, honestly, the wing and doing my eyeliner never was a problem. I can do both eyes with winged eyeliner within a minute! But it is about practice and actually knowing how to hold on to the handle of the eye liner and having a steady hand! Always have a wet wash rag or makeup remover wipe on hand! Your going to need it lol.

Can't give you any tips on gel but I sure can on liquid! My favorite liquid liner is the physicians formula liner plus lash booster in ultra black. It's a brush tip pen with the finest point you have ever seen. The way I do my liquid liner is take any makeup brush you've got that has a handle that comes rather thin at the bottom (the thickest I would use would be about the width of a pencil, or you can even use a pencil if you want) then line the makeup brush handle from the outer edge of your nose/nostril to the outer corner of your eye as close as you can get to your lower lash line with the end of the brush handle towards your hairline and the actual brush on the end towards your lip/nose area. Then take your liner or even just a black eyeshadow and make a very short line up against where the makeup brush handle is and then you should have a straight line. At this point you can lengthen the line if you want and then draw on the rest of your liner or just leave it as a small wing! Also, If you want me to do a pictorial I can
