angled or fine-tipped and wings?

[Doowop]

Which is best for using fluidline or other similar products?

And also, how do you create that perfect wing at the outer end of your eyes?

It's more of a personal preference, but I find that 212 works well with fluidlines.
And I believe there are tutorials for cat eyes/winged eyeliner around the Tutorials.

I tried to use my Macroviolet Fluidline with the 266 brush, but it was too messy! An eyeliner brush is wayyy better!

Actually for my "winged" looks I went to the local ART store,.. bought some serious mega fine tiny angled brushes. (They also have some of these on crownbrush.com) and they work the best IMO,.. and super cheap think I paid $2.99 for my favorite,..

I'm also using two diff brushes tht i got from the art store. It's really cheap. Less than a dollar. It's stiff nylon brushes. one is flat and the other is rounded with fine tip. works perfectly with my f/l. waterline,tightline,winged...everything comes out perfect!!!

I like using my 266SE compared to my my regular 266. The SE is harder and stiffer

I LOVE the Smashbox Arched Eyeliner Brush (21). It has an angle so you can control the brush way easier than straighter brushes, like the Silta 315 or MAC 266, imo.

I use a mini lipbrush from the Bodyshop for my fluidlines. I've tried other things, but keep going back to this one. Though sometimes I naughtily borrow my best friend's Bobbi Brown liner brush, it's very good too....

The technique I use for "wings":-

1. Line the main part of the lid first.

2. Look yourself square in the face in the mirror and decide where you want the far end of your "wingtip" to sit. Then use your brush, pencil or liquid e/l applicator to draw a little "dot" where the wing should stop at each side.

3. Look at yourself again squarely in the mirror and try to work out whether the dots are at the same place on each side. Wipe out and redo until they look as even as possible. Trust me - it's easier to do this with a little "dot" than a wonky line!

4. Now that your guide "dots" look right, use your liner to join the end of your main eyelid liner to the dot in one stroke. It should be easier to keep the line right with the dot in place to guide you.

hTH!
