Winged Eyeliner Howto

Below are instructions to achieve a winged eyeliner look that is simply. Using drugstore products may this look even easy to achieve because it is affordable. Enjoy!
What you need, not pictured is a flesh colored matte eyeshadow:
Steps
1.Apply a eye shadow based to the lid of the eye and blend it out with a finger. I currently use L'Oreal De-Crease. I then place a flesh tone matte eyeshadow overtop of the base. I find this step helps the eyeliner last longer!
2.Dip a small angled brush into the gel eyeliner. The brush I used is from Michael's craft store. It is the Simply Simmons 1/8 Angle Shader brush. The gel eyelinder is Jane Be Pure Mineral Gel Eyeliner in Black 04.
3.Starting from the middle of the top lash liner, apply the gel eyeliner from this point to the end of the lash line.
4.You may have to re-dip the brush into the gel eyeliner. From the inner corner of the top lash line place the brush here and connect the line that was started from the middle. You should now have lined the top lash line.
5.You can now continue the line past the end of the top lash line to create a wing. Again, you may have to re-dip the brush.
6.If between the line you have created and your lashes there is some skin showing, liquid eyeliner can be used to fill in this area. I used Wet n' Wild's Mega Liner in 861 Black.
7.Finish off with concealing the undereyes and adding mascara and your finished!
