So i got my hands on some good liquid eyeliner, that allows to actually make thin lines so here I Am. I would really like to hear some feedback tips, tricks etc.

Left Eye:

Right Eye

I also did some basic eye-shadow and kinda fucked up so instead of removing the shadow under my right eye I just made it worse lol.

Also tried out fake lashes, but that went horribly wrong when trying to apply them.

    You did a good job of getting the liner on your upper lids close to your lashline and you have a very pretty eye color!

    Were you deliberately going for a downturned eyeliner look? I often see downturned eyeliner associated with creating softer and rounder shapes that are easier to achieve with pencil, especially if you’re lining your bottom lid. You can search for tutorials on “puppy eyeliner” if that’s what you wanted to achieve.

    If you want to create a wing, you should angle your liner up higher, approximately at the angle from the outer corner of your eye to the outer end of your eyebrow. You can use eye tape or hold a piece of paper to help you draw a cleaner line. Here is a step by step guide on winged liquid liner: Link

        downturned refers to eye shape - most trans women have downturned eyes as a result of testosterone exposure, so with eye makeup it makes sense to counteract this by artificially “lifting” that side of the eye.

        When you put liner on the lower lid, the visual effect is to exaggerate a downturned look. This can sometimes have a “sad puppy” look, if that makes sense.

        I highly recommend watching videos on how to apply makeup for trans women, e.g.
